    摘要: A mass flow sensor having a thin substrate and a resistor element arranged on the thin substrate. The thin substrate is stretched on a fixed substrate. In a stretched area, at which, in response to mechanical loading of the thin substrate, the mechanical stresses concentrate, a resistor element for detecting ruptures is arranged. As a result of a rupture in the stretched area, this rupture-detection resistor is interrupted, and the rupture can be confirmed due to the sudden increase in the resistance of the resistor, caused thereby.

    摘要: A contacting of a capacitive accelerometer sensor of monocrystalline material is achieved by a capacitive accelerometer sensor having a structure etched out of a monocrystalline layer arranged on a substrate, including a seismic mass that is only joined to the substrate by suspension segments and executing a movement in its longitudinal direction in response to the occurrence of an acceleration of parallel, plate-like first fingers extending out from this mass at right angles to their longitudinal direction and of plate-like second fingers running parallel to the first fingers and anchored to the substrate. The first and second fingers form a capacitor arrangement. The suspension segments, which are anchored with their end region that is distant from the seismic mass to the substrate, and second fingers are electrically isolated, by an isolation strip, from the other remaining layer of monocrystalline material. A passivation layer extends over the isolation strip, and at least partially over the remaining layer. Conductors arranged on the passivation layer and serving as connecting leads for the capacitor arrangement extend across the isolation strip up to the connections of the capacitor arrangement, and are contacted there.

    摘要: A semiconductor plate having an epitaxial layer of a conductivity type opposite to that of the substrate on which it is formed has a depression, including one or more elongate channels. The depression is etched into a depth passing entirely through the epitaxial layer to isolate at least one tongue extending from a tongue pedestal into the etched depression and having parallel major sides which are perpendicular to the principal planes of the semiconductor plate. The tongue is under-etched so that it will be free to vibrate by motion in directions parallel to the principal planes of the plate. One of the major sides of the tongue faces a stationary electrode across a gap and the electrode and the tongue are insulated from each other, at least in one embodiment, by the fact that the etched depression extends all the way through the epitaxial layer in its depth. Deflection or vibration of the tongue changes the capacitance between the electrode and the tongue and contacts are provided for measuring the capacitance. Various embodiments utilizing multiple tongues and one or more electrodes are shown.

    摘要: A microwave is made of a stack of layers. A sculptured silicon substrate is held between two covers each consisting of one or more layers. The inlet and the outlet of the microvalve are formed by perforations in the respective covers. A central valve plate is sculptured out of the silicon substrate with surfaces respectively facing the two covers in the region of the inlet and outlet in a symmetrical fashion. The valve plate is connected to the outer frame portion of the silicon substrate by one or more silicon strips. The valve plate is also shaped as a closure member near the inlet and/or the outlet. Electrodes are provided on the covers opposite the valve plate so that the valve can be electrostatically actuated with the valve plate serving as counterelectrode for these electrodes on the covers.
