摘要： An optical waveguide sensor includes a substrate and an optical waveguide. The optical waveguide includes a core and a lateral clad. The core extends in a spiral shape above a surface of the substrate. The lateral clad is disposed in a same layer as the core above the surface of the substrate and is in contact with either side surfaces of the core. At least a part of a surface of the core located opposite from the substrate is a transmission surface from which light leaks and is absorbed by a detected object.

摘要： A scanning apparatus includes a mirror coupled to a base via a spring portion, and a light source for emitting a beam toward a reflecting surface of the mirror so that the beam is incident thereon. The mirror reflects the beam from the light source and rotationally swings under a resilient force of the spring portion when a force is applied thereto. The reflecting surface of the mirror includes a plurality of mirror surfaces at different angles. The beam from the light source is simultaneously reflected by the mirror surfaces at different angles.

摘要： An optical device includes: a silicon substrate; a plurality of silicon oxide columns having a rectangular plan shape; and a cavity disposed between the columns. Each column has a lower portion disposed on the substrate. Each column has a width defined as W1. The cavity has a width defined as W2. A ratio of W1/W2 becomes smaller as it goes to the lower portion of the column. A core layer provided by the columns and the cavity can have the thickness equal to or larger than a few dozen μm easily. Therefore, connection loss between a light source and the device is reduced.

摘要： A capacitance type acceleration sensor includes a semiconductor substrate, a weight portion supported with the substrate through a spring portion, a movable electrode integrated with the weight portion, and a fixed electrode cantilevered with the substrate. The movable electrode is displaced along with a facing surface of the movable electrode in accordance with acceleration. The facing surface of the movable electrode faces a facing surface of the fixed electrode so as to provide a capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor changes in accordance with a displacement of the movable electrode so that an outer circuit detects the acceleration as a capacitance change. Each facing surface of the movable and fixed electrodes has a concavity and convexity portion for increasing the capacitance change.

摘要： A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The device is manufactured with use of an SOI (Silicon On Insulator) substrate having a first silicon layer, an oxide layer, and a second silicon layer laminated in this order. After forming a trench reaching the oxide layer from the second silicon layer, dry etching is performed, thus allowing the oxide layer located at the trench bottom to be charged at first. This charging forces etching ions to impinge upon part of the second silicon layer located laterally to the trench bottom. Such part is removed, forming a movable section. For example, ions to neutralize the electric charges are administered into the trench, so that the electric charges are removed from charged movable electrodes and their charged surrounding regions. Removing the electric charges prevents the movable section to stick to its surrounding portions.

摘要： A flow sensor, which can detect flow velocity in a wide range including high flow velocity area with simple structure. A flow sensor includes a substrate having a hollow portion; and a thin film structure portion provided above the hollow portion. The thin film structure portion is provided with a heater formed in a center portion, an upper and a lower stream temperature detectors for detecting temperature of the fluid, a fluid thermometer for detecting temperature of the fluid, and thermal couple films provided on the substrate at a portion, where is between the heater and both temperature detectors. According to this structure, the thermal couple films enhance thermal coupling between the heater and the temperature detectors. Accordingly, it can prevent the temperature of the upper stream temperature detector from falling to around the temperature of the fluid, and it can raise a certain flow velocity at which a cooling of the low stream temperature detector due to the flowing fluid exceeds a heating by the heater. Therefore, it can detect flow velocity in a wide range including high flow velocity area.
