摘要:
A plasma etching method, which can form concave parts and/or opening parts on a substrate by performing etching at a high speed and does not damage an element part formed on the surface of the substrate, is disclosed. On a semiconductor substrate with one surface as an element part forming surface and the other surface having an insulating film thereon as an etching surface are formed concave parts and/or opening parts by means of etching by applying a high-frequency electric power to a reactive gas and generating plasma thereby. The substrate is disposed on an electrode having grounded electric potential with the insulating film positioned on the lower side and a conductive part material having grounded electric potential is disposed around the substrate. When one end of the conductive part material is contacted with the side of the etching surface of the substrate, electric charge generated on the surface of the substrate moves to the conductive part material, and the electric potential of the substrate is lowered.

In a semiconductor strain sensor, for example, using resistors of a polycrystalline semiconductor material such as polycrystalline silicon as strain gauges, the sum of the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of the resistor and the temperature coefficient of strain sensitivity (TCK) is adjusted not by controlling the impurity carrier concentration but by controlling the resistivity, thereby an output fluctuation due to a change in the temperature can be suppressed.

A control apparatus for a dazzle-free reflection mirror of a vehicle is disclosed. The control apparatus is provided with a rear light sensor and a circuit for driving the reflection mirror into a dazzle-free condition in accordance with an intensity of a rear light detected by said rear light sensor when a light switch is turned on. The control apparatus is further provided with a winker manipulation detecting switch, a reverse position detecting switch and a steering wheel detecting switch for detecting a change in the moving direction of the vehicle. When one of them detects the change in the vehicle moving direction, the dazzle-free operation of the reflection mirror is disabled even if intensive light is incident to the reflection mirror from the rear of the vehicle.

A liquid crystal type dazzle-free reflection mirror arrangement which changes reflectivity of the incident light by way of changing the transmittivity of the incident light through a liquid crystal provided within a frame body is disclosed. A semitransparent mirror is positioned behind the liquid crystal and a photo sensor is positioned behind the semitransparent mirror. When the photo sensor detects that the intensity of the incident light passing through the semitransparent mirror, an alternating current electric field is applied to the liquid crystal which responsively decreases the transmittivity of the incident light. A heater for heating the liquid crystal is activated when a door of an automobile is opened and the temperature of the liquid crystal is low.

A sensor includes: a silicon substrate having a hollow portion, which is arranged on a backside of the substrate; an insulation film disposed on a front side of the substrate and covering the hollow portion; a heater disposed on the insulation film, made of a semiconductor layer, and configured to generate heat; and an anti-stripping film for protecting the insulation film from being removed from the silicon substrate. The silicon substrate, the insulation film and the. semiconductor layer provide a SOI substrate. The hollow portion has a sidewall and a bottom. The anti-stripping film covers at least a boundary between the sidewall and the bottom of the hollow portion.

A compact angular velocity sensor, which can improve an S/N (signal/noise) ratio. An angular velocity sensor includes an SOI substrate, four oscillatory masses movably supported to the SOI substrate, and four detection electrodes provided outer side of the oscillatory masses for detecting displacements of the oscillatory masses. The oscillatory masses are arranged point-symmetry with respect to a predetermined point K in a flat plane parallel to the SOI substrate. Each of the four oscillatory masses adjacent each other is oscillated in reverse phase in a circumstantial direction about the predetermined point K along the flat plane. When an angular velocity &OHgr; is generated about the predetermined point K, detection weights of the oscillatory masses are displaced along a direction perpendicular to oscillation direction in the flat plane. Capacitance changes between the detection weights and the detection electrodes are processed in a circuit portion so as to output angular velocity detection signal S1 due to Corioli's force with canceling external acceleration and centrifugal force acted to the detection weights of the oscillatory masses.

An apparatus for driving a liquid crystal element by an increased voltage and at a lowered frequency in conformity with temperature fall in the liquid crystal element so as to achieve complete driving of the element even in a low temperature range. In order to increase the driving voltage, the apparatus comprises a booster circuit for increasing a battery voltage, and a voltage divider circuit including an element-temperature sensor as a component thereof and serving to produce a control voltage by dividing the output voltage of the booster circuit. In such configuration, the booster circuit performs its operation in such a manner as to maintain constant the control voltage obtained from the voltage divider circuit.

A protective sheet is fixed to a jig, and regions of the protective sheet corresponding to regions where dicing-cut is to be performed are removed to form grooves. Then, a semiconductor wafer is bonded to the protective sheet at an opposite side of the jig, and the jig is detached from the protective sheet and the semiconductor wafer bonded together. After that, the semiconductor wafer is cut into semiconductor chips by dicing along the grooves of the protective sheet. Because the protective sheet is not cut by dicing, no scraps of the protective sheet is produced, thereby preventing contamination to the chips.
