    摘要: A method for manufacturing separated micromechanical components situated on a silicon substrate includes the following steps of a) providing separation trenches on the substrate via an anisotropic plasma deep etching method, b) irradiating the area of the silicon substrate which forms the base of the separation trenches using laser light, the silicon substrate being converted from a crystalline state into an at least partially amorphous state by the irradiation in this area, and c) inducing mechanical stresses in the substrate. In one specific embodiment, cavities are etched simultaneously with the etching of the separation trenches. The etching depths can be controlled via the RIE lag effect.

    摘要: A method for etching a layer that is to be removed on a substrate, in which a Si1-xGex layer is the layer to be removed, this layer being removed, at least in areas, in gas phase etching with the aid of an etching gas, in particular ClF3. The etching behavior of the Si1-xGex layer can be controlled via the Ge portion in the Si1-xGex layer. The etching method is particularly well-suited for manufacturing self-supporting structures in a micromechanical sensor and for manufacturing such self-supporting structures in a closed hollow space, because the Si1-xGex layer, as a sacrificial layer or filling layer, is etched highly selectively relative to silicon.

    摘要: A system and method are described for reducing the current consumption of a microphone component without adversely affecting performance. The system includes a micromechanical microphone capacitor, an acoustically inactive compensation capacitor, an arrangement for applying a high-frequency sampling signal to the microphone capacitor and for applying the inverted sampling signal to the compensation capacitor, an integrating operational amplifier which integrates the sum of the current flow through the microphone capacitor and the current flow through the compensation capacitor as a charge amplifier, a demodulator, which is synchronized with the sampling signal, for the output signal of the integrating operational amplifier, and a low-pass filter which uses the output signal of the demodulator to obtain a microphone signal that corresponds to the changes in capacitance of the microphone capacitor. The sampling signal is composed of a periodic sequence of sampling pulses and pause times. In addition, at least one first switching element is provided which reduces the current flow through the integrating operational amplifier during the pause times. The low-pass filter has a “sample-and-hold” characteristic so that during the pause times the low-pass filter in each case stores the output signal of the integrating operational amplifier averaged over the preceding sampling operation.
