摘要:
A microelectromechanical sensor is configured to measure a force, a pressure, or the like. The sensor includes a substrate and a measuring element. The measuring element includes at least two electrically conductive regions, and at least one of the electrically conductive regions is at least partly connected to the substrate. The sensor also includes at least one changing region, and the changing region lies at least partly between the electrically conductive regions. The changing region is configured in a substantially electrically insulating manner in an unloaded state and in a substantially electrically conductive manner in a loaded state.
摘要:
A method for producing a component, and a component, in particular a micromechanical and/or microfluidic and/or microelectronic component, is provided, the component including at least one patterned material region, and in a first step the patterned material region is produced in that microparticles of a first material are embedded in a matrix of a second material, and in a second step the patterned material region is rendered porous by etching using a dry etching method or a gas-phase etching method.
摘要:
A magnetometer is described, having a substrate and a magnetic core, the substrate having an excitation coil for generating a magnetic flux in the magnetic core; and the excitation coil having a coil cross section, which is aligned generally perpendicular to a main plane of extension of the substrate. The magnetic core is situated outside the coil cross section.
摘要:
A capping technology is provided in which, despite the fact that structures which are surrounded by a silicon-germanium filling layer are exposed using ClF3 etching through micropores in the silicon cap, an etching attack on the silicon cap is prevented, namely, either by particularly selective (approximately 10,000:1 or higher) adjustment of the etching process itself, or by using the finding that the oxide of a germanium-rich layer, in contrast to oxidized porous silicon, is not stable but instead may be easily dissolved, to protect the silicon cap.

摘要:
A method for selective etching of an SiGe mixed semiconductor layer on a silicon semiconductor substrate by dry chemical etching of the SiGe mixed semiconductor layer with the aid of an etching gas selected from the group including ClF3 and/or ClF5, a gas selected from the group including Cl2 and/or HCl being added to the etching gas.
摘要:
A method for producing micromechanical patterns having a relief-like sidewall outline shape or an angle of inclination that is able to be set, the micromechanical patterns being etched out of a SiGe mixed semiconductor layer that is present on or deposited on a silicon semiconductor substrate, by dry chemical etching of the SiGe mixed semiconductor layer; the sidewall outline shape of the micromechanical pattern being developed by varying the germanium proportion in the SiGe mixed semiconductor layer that is to be etched; a greater germanium proportion being present in regions that are to be etched more strongly; the variation in the germanium proportion in the SiGe mixed semiconductor layer being set by a method selected from the group including depositing a SiGe mixed semiconductor layer having varying germanium content, introducing germanium into a silicon semiconductor layer or a SiGe mixed semiconductor layer, introducing silicon into a germanium layer or an SiGe mixed semiconductor layer and/or by thermal oxidation of a SiGe mixed semiconductor layer.
摘要:
A particle sensor including a diaphragm, a diaphragm heater, and at least two measuring electrodes situated on the diaphragm, for electrical conductivity measurement, the diaphragm having a thickness of less than or equal to 50 μm, in order to allow a calorimetric particle quantity determination.
摘要:
An encapsulated MEMS process including a high-temperature anti-stiction coating that is stable under processing steps at temperatures over 450 C is described. The coating is applied after device release but before sealing vents in the encapsulation layer. Alternatively, an anti-stiction coating may be applied to released devices directly before encapsulation.
