    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device with a semiconductor element which includes a semiconductor zone (19) situated below an electrode (18) and adjoining a surface (5) of a semiconductor body (1), which semiconductor zone substantially does not project outside the electrode (18) in lateral direction. The electrode (18) is here formed on the surface (5) of the semiconductor body (1), after which semiconductor material adjoining the surface (5) and not covered by the electrode (18) is removed by an etching treatment, whereby the position of the semiconductor zone (19) below the electrode (18) is defined. Before the electrode (18) is formed, a surface zone (16) adjoining the surface (5) is formed in the semiconductor body (1) with a depth and a doping such as are desired for the semiconductor zone (19) to be formed below the electrode (18), after which the electrode (18) is formed on this surface zone and, during the etching treatment, the portion of the surface zone (16) not covered by the electrode (18) is etched away through its entire thickness. Conducting materials such as aluminium or aluminium alloys may be used for the electrode (18), i.e. materials which are not resistant to temperatures necessary for forming semiconductor zones through diffusion.

    摘要: The invention relates to a sensor (102) and a control unit (702) for cooperation with the sensor. The sensor (102) serves for measuring a velocity of a fluid (308) flowing through a channel (306). The sensor (102) employs a thermal measuring principle, which measuring principle is robust regarding disturbances on the amount of power dissipated by the heating element (106). A sensor receiver (110) is arranged for receiving an electromagnetic radiation generated by a control transmitter (722) comprised in a control (702) unit for cooperation with the sensor (102). The electromagnetic radiation is employed for powering the heating element (106) which is arranged for heating the fluid. On the basis of a measurement signal generated by a transducer arrangement comprised in the sensor (102), a control actuator (724) controls the velocity of the fluid. For this purpose a sensor transmitter (116) is arranged for transmitting the measurement signal to a control receiver (734).
