    摘要: A modification to rough polysilicon using ion implantation and silicide is provided herein. A method can comprise depositing a hard mask on a single crystal silicon, patterning the hard mask, and depositing metal on the single crystal silicon. The method also can comprise forming silicide based on causing the metal to react with exposed silicon of the single crystal silicon. Further, the method can comprise removing unreacted metal and stripping the hard mask from the single crystal silicon. Another method can comprise forming a MEMS layer based on fusion bonding a handle MEMS with a device layer. The method also can comprise implanting rough polysilicon on the device layer. Implanting the rough polysilicon can comprise performing ion implantation of the rough polysilicon. Further, the method can comprise performing high temperature annealing. The high temperature can comprise a temperature in a range between around 700 and 1100 degrees Celsius.

    摘要: A method for determining a temperature compensation parameter for compensation of temperature effects on measured values of a sensor system having a sensor unit for acquiring measured values of a sensor measuring variable. The method includes: monitoring the measuring situation of the sensor unit; determining whether the current measuring situation corresponds to a reference measuring situation for which a reference measured value of the sensor measuring variable is known; monitoring the temperature of the sensor unit; determining whether the current temperature lies within a predefined temperature range; acquiring different temperature values within the predefined temperature range and acquiring the respective associated measured values of the sensor measuring variable when the current measuring situation corresponds to a reference measuring situation; determining a temperature compensation parameter based on the reference measured value of the sensor measuring variable, the different temperature values, and the associated measured values of the sensor measuring variable.

    摘要: A blood pressure detection device manufactured by a semiconductor process includes a substrate, a microelectromechanical element, a gas-pressure-sensing element, a driving-chip element, an encapsulation layer and a valve layer. The substrate includes inlet apertures. The microelectromechanical element and the gas-pressure-sensing element are stacked and integrally formed on the substrate. The encapsulation layer is encapsulated and positioned on the substrate. A flowing-channel space is formed above the microelectromechanical element and the gas-pressure-sensing element. The encapsulation layer includes an outlet aperture in communication with an airbag. The driving-chip element controls the microelectromechanical element, the gas-pressure-sensing element and valve units to transport gas. The gas is introduced into the flowing-channel space through the inlet apertures and transported into the airbag through the outlet aperture, to inflate the airbag for blood pressure measurement, and a detection datum of blood pressure outputted by the gas-pressure-sensing element is transmitted to the microprocessor to calculate.
