A semiconductor sensor mount is formed as follows: through holes are formed that penetrate a glass plate; and then the glass plate having the through holes is dipped into hydrofluoric acid etchant to smooth the inner peripheral surfaces of the respective through holes. By etching the inner peripheral surfaces of the respective through holes after the through hole formation, minute roughness and cracks formed on the inner peripheral surfaces are removed, and thereby the areas for adsorbing gas are substantially reduced. That is, vacuums within the through holes can be maintained at a high degree during the anodic bonding, whereby undesirable electric discharge phenomena are prevented even if a relatively high voltage is applied during the anodic bonding. Accordingly, the yield of products can be improved while improving productivity.

The present invention relates to a mounting assembly for a pressure sensor in a pressure transmitter. The mounting assembly includes a header having a cavity opening to a first surface. The cavity is defined by an inner endwall and an inner sidewall. A support is joined to the inner endwall within the cavity on a first support end. A pedestal has a first pedestal end supporting the pressure sensor and a second pedestal joined to the second support end. Aligning means align the second pedestal end to the second support end in order that a volume of the mounting assembly is increased to thereby reduce a quantity of fill fluid needed in the sensor cavity.
摘要:
A tunneling tip sensor and a method of photolithographically fabricating a unitary structure sensor on a semiconductor substrate are disclosed. A cantilever electrode is formed on the substrate with one end suspended above the substrate at a distance from a tunneling electrode so that a tunneling current flows through the cantilever and tunneling electrodes in response to an applied bias voltage. The cantilever and tunneling electrodes form a circuit that produces an output signal. A force applied to the sensor urges the cantilever electrode to deflect relative to the tunneling electrode to modulate the output signal. In the preferred embodiment, the output signal is a control voltage that is applied between the cantilever electrode and a control electrode to maintain a constant tunneling current. In an alternative embodiment, a lateral control electrode is fabricated to produce a lateral motion of the cantilever electrode such that the sensor detects a rotation. In another embodiment, x, y and z-axis sensors are fabricated on a substrate to provide a planar three-axis sensor.

In a pressure sensor, a metallic pressure introducing pipe is fit into the pressure receiving inlet formed in a metallic housing and fixed there by welding. The housing has a flange portion in its upper portion, and the flange portion is fixed to the outer wall of a tank which is an object to be measured so that the pressure sensor body is located inside the tank. A porous filter made of fluoroplastics is arranged adjacently to the atmospheric pressure introducing inlet. An adhesive tape which is removable is attached to the atmospheric pressure introducing inlet. The pressure sensor can realize stabilized maintenance and highly reliable airtightness for a sensor element, less limitation to sensor layout design in a small space and also can surely introduce air with no drop of water and dust into the sensor.
