    摘要: A semiconductor strain sensor in which a sensor element for detecting a strain signal is mounted in a resin package member, which can restrain a creep stress of the package member from affecting to the sensor element. A semiconductor strain sensor is provided with a lead frame integrally molded with a resin package member, and a sensor chip made of silicon. The sensor chip is mounted on one surface of an element mounting portion of the lead frame, and is capable of externally outputting electric signal via a wire in accordance with strain when pressure is applied. An opening portion is provided in the package member, so that the entire area of another surface of the lead frame, where positions beneath the sensor chip, is non-contacted with the package member. Since another surface of the lead frame is non-contacted with the package member at the opening portion, even if the creep occurs in the package member, it can prevent stress (creep stress) undergone in accordance with the creep deformation from being transferred to the sensor chip.

    摘要: A photo diode and a signal processing circuit are formed on a silicon substrate. The signal processing circuit comprises a PNP transistor and an NPN transistor. A region of the signal processing circuit on the silicon substrate is covered by an aluminum thin film functioning as a shielding film. A covered distance L(.mu.m) is defined as an overhang of the aluminum thin film from the edge of the PNP transistor, and is determined based on a ratio of a minimum current of the PNP transistor, which induces malfunction in the signal processing circuit under the solar radiation, to a current generated in the circuit element when subjected to the solar radiation without the aluminum thin film.

    摘要: A photoelectric transfer device having a light receiving element and a signal processing circuit are formed in a semiconductor substrate, a silicon oxide film is formed on the light receiving element, a first aluminum thin film is deposited on the silicon substrate, and the first aluminum thin film is patterned to make a wire connected with the signal processing circuit and a protective film placed on the silicon oxide film. Thereafter, an inter-layer insulating film is deposited on the silicon substrate while covering the protective film, a portion of the inter-layer insulating film placed on the protective film is etched and removed, a second aluminum thin film is deposited on the inter-layer insulating film and the protective film, and a portion of the second aluminum thin film placed on the protective film and the protective film are successively etched and removed. Because the inter-layer insulating film placed above the light receiving element is removed, an insulating film placed on the light receiving element is not thinned, so that sensitivity of the photoelectric transfer device can be improved. Also, because the protective film is arranged on the silicon oxide film when the portion of the inter-layer insulating film is etched, the silicon oxide film is not etched, so that a film thickness of the silicon oxide film can be correctly set to a desired value.

    摘要: This invention relates to a magnetoresistive element used for a magnetic sensor, etc. A ferromagnetic magnetoresistive element thin film is formed so as to be electrically connected to and so as to overlap the upper end portion of an aluminum wiring metal on a substrate. Through using a vacuum heat treatment with a temperature between 350.degree. and 450.degree. C., a Ni--Al-based alloy is formed at the overlapping portion. Therefore, even when a surface protection film of silicon nitride is subsequently formed by plasma CVD on the substrate, the alloy prevents the nitriding of the upper end portion of the aluminum wiring metal. Accordingly, the surface can be protected from moisture by the silicon nitride film without increasing the contact resistance between the magnetoresistive element thin film and the wiring metal. Instead of the Ni--Al-based alloy, other conductive metals such as TiW, TiN, Ti, Zr, or the like may be used. Also, the surface protection film may be a multi-layered film having a first film containing no nitrogen, such as a silicon oxide film, and a second film of silicon nitride film formed on the first film.

    摘要: An apparatus for cutting down or reducing the length of a finished slide fastener includes a pilot pin disposed immediately adjacent to the rear end of an element clamper and spaced from the rear end of an element cutter by a distance which is equal to the sum of the element pitch of a row of coupling elements and at least a half of the diameter of a monofilament constituting the row of coupling elements. With the pilot pin thus arranged, a length of coupling elements can be removed smoothly without the occurance of draw of a half-cut coupling element. The apparatus also includes a stopper disposed rearwardly of a top end-stop applicator and engageable with a bottom end stop of the slide fastener for setting the length of reduction from the slide fastener.
