摘要:
Substrate-side overload protection for the diaphragm structure of a microphone component having a micromechanical microphone structure which impairs the damping properties of the microphone structure as little as possible, in which the microphone structure includes a diaphragm structure having at least one acoustically active diaphragm which is formed in a diaphragm layer above a semiconductor substrate. The diaphragm structure spans at least one sound opening in the rear side of the substrate. A stationary, acoustically permeable counter element is formed in the layer structure of the component above the diaphragm layer. According to the invention, at least projections are formed at the outer edge area of the diaphragm structure which protrude beyond the edge area of the sound opening, so that the edge area of the sound opening acts as a substrate-side stop for the diaphragm structure.

摘要:
A method is proposed for etching structures into an etching body, in particular, recesses which are laterally precisely defined by an etching mask, into a silicon body, using a plasma. In the process, a high-frequency pulsed, low-frequency modulated high-frequency power is coupled at least intermittently into the etching body using a high-frequency a.c. voltage and, in addition, the intensity of the plasma is modulated as a function of time.

A method of plasma etching, in particular of anisotropic plasma etching, of laterally defined structures in a silicon substrate, using a process gas, includes having at least one passivating material precipitated on the side walls of the laterally defined structures at least from time to time prior to and/or during etching. In an exemplary method, at least one of the compounds selected from the group ClF3, BrF3, or IF5 is added to the process gas as a fluorine-delivering etching gas. In another exemplary method, NF3 is added to the process gas, at least from time to time, as an additive consuming the passivating material. Finally, in another exemplary method, a light and easily ionizable gas, in particular H2, He, or Ne, is added, at least from time to time, to the process gas. The three exemplary methods may be combined.

A holding device including a holding element, on which a substrate is electrostatically fixed, positioned on a substrate electrode. In one configuration, a load body on the substrate electrode presses the holding element onto it, and is connected via a clamping device, which presses the former onto the substrate electrode, with a base, which supports the substrate electrode, the load body and the base being electrically insulated from the substrate electrode. In another configuration, the side of the holding element faces the substrate as an electrically insulating ferroelectric or piezoelectric material. Another configuration includes a device via which a liquid convection medium is feedable into a space formed by the holding element and substrate or is removable from there again. A method for supplying heat or dissipating heat from the back of a substrate to which heat is applied from the front, and which is held by the holding device.
摘要:
A layer system and a method for producing the layer system are provided, the layer system having a silicon layer, on which at least regionally a passivating layer is superficially deposited, the passivating layer having a first, at least largely inorganic partial layer and a second, at least largely polymer partial layer. The method includes producing on the silicon layer, a first, inorganic partial layer, and producing on this first partial layer a second, polymer partial layer, which form the passivating layer. The production of the intermediate layer occurs in such a way that the intermediate layer in its surface area adjoining the first partial layer is composed as the first partial layer, and the intermediate layer in its surface area adjoining the second partial layer is composed as the second partial layer. The composition of the intermediate layer transitions, either continuously or in steps, from the composition corresponding to the first partial layer into the composition corresponding to the second partial layer.
摘要:
A method for producing a microsystem that has, situated on a substrate, a first functional layer that includes a conductive area and a sublayer. Situated on the first functional layer is a second mechanical functional layer, which is first initially applied onto a sacrificial layer situated and structured on the first functional layer. In addition, a layer is situated on the side of the sublayer facing away from the conductive area. The layer constitutes a protective layer on the first functional layer that acts in areas during a sacrificial layer etching process so that during removal of the sacrificial layer no etching of the areas of the first functional layer covered by the protective layer occurs, and that in the region of the areas of the first functional layer implemented without the protective layer the sublayer is removed essentially selectively to the conductive area at the same time as the sacrificial layer. Further, a method is described for producing integrated microsystems having silicon-germanium functional layers, sacrificial layers containing germanium, and open metal surfaces. The sacrificial layers containing germanium are at least partially removed in an etching solution, a pH value of the etching solution being kept at least approximately neutral during the etching procedure using a buffer.
