    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A method for producing a semiconductor device that is capable of solving problems related to dicing a metal thin film used for electrochemical etching. According to the method, an n type epitaxial thin layer is formed on a p type single-crystal silicon wafer. An n.sup.+ type diffusion layer is formed in a scribe line area on the epitaxial layer. An n.sup.+ type diffusion layer is formed in an area of the epitaxial layer which corresponds to a predetermined portion of the wafer. An aluminum film is formed over the diffusion layers. The aluminum film has a clearance for passing a dicing blade. Portions of the wafer are electrochemically etched by supplying electricity through the aluminum film and the diffusion layers, to leave portions of the epitaxial layer. The wafer is diced into chips along the scribe line area. Each of the chips forms a separate semiconductor device. The electrochemical etching of the wafer is carried out after the formation of the aluminum film by immersing the wafer in a KOH aqueous solution and by supplying electricity through the aluminum film. The electrochemical etching is terminated at an inflection point where an etching current inflects to a constant level from a peak level. During the electrochemical etching, the diffusion layer reduces horizontal resistance in the epitaxial layer, so that the etched parts receive a sufficient potential to perform the etching.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a movable portion includes the steps of: forming a trench on a semiconductor layer so that the trench reaches an insulation layer; and forming a movable portion by etching a sidewall of the trench so that the semiconductor layer is separated from the insulation layer. The steps of forming the trench and forming the movable portion are performed by a reactive ion etching method. The insulation layer disposed on the bottom of the trench is prevented from charging positively in the step of forming the trench. The insulation layer disposed on the bottom of the trench is charged positively in the step of forming the movable portion.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The device is manufactured with use of an SOI (Silicon On Insulator) substrate having a first silicon layer, an oxide layer, and a second silicon layer laminated in this order. After forming a trench reaching the oxide layer from the second silicon layer, dry etching is performed, thus allowing the oxide layer located at the trench bottom to be charged at first. This charging forces etching ions to impinge upon part of the second silicon layer located laterally to the trench bottom. Such part is removed, forming a movable section. For example, ions to neutralize the electric charges are administered into the trench, so that the electric charges are removed from charged movable electrodes and their charged surrounding regions. Removing the electric charges prevents the movable section to stick to its surrounding portions.
