摘要:
The invention concerns a sealing zone between two microstructure substrates. Said sealing zone comprises at least the following parts: on a first wafer level (20), a lower edging (22A) made of an adhesive material capable of causing the first substrate (20) to adhere to a sealing material, said sealing material being adapted to spontaneously diffuse jointly with the material of the second wafer level (30); on said lower edging (22A), a layer of said sealing material; and on said layer of sealing material, a protuberance (36) formed on said second wafer level (30) containing a certain amount of sealing material. The invention is applicable to microstructures comprising vacuum-operated components.

An integrated pressure sensitive transducer incorporating a pressure sensitive structure having a silicon substrate, and at least one monocrystalline silicon diaphragm deformable in a direction perpendicular to the substrate. The diaphragm, which is joined to the substrate at its periphery by means of an etched insulating layer, has a centered insulating stud which bears on the substrate in order to increase the rigidity of the diaphragm. Completing the transducer and for measuring the deformation of the diaphragm is at least one first electrode located in the substrate facing a high deformation region of the diaphragm and remote from the periphery of the diaphragm and the insulating stud, and at least one second electrode facing at least one low deformation region of the diaphragm and in the vicinity of the periphery and/or the insulating stud.

Process for the production of accelerometers using the silicon on insulator method. The process comprises the following stages: a) producing a conductive monocrystalline silicon film on a silicon substrate and separated from the latter by an insulating layer; b) etching the silicon film and the insulating layer up to the substrate in order to fix the shape of the mobile elements and the measuring device; c) producing electric contacts for the measuring devices; d) partial elimination of the insulating layer in order to free the mobile elements, the remainder of the insulating layer rendering integral the substrate and the moving elements.

The microgyrometer is provided in a flat substrate and comprises detection means for detecting the movement of two oscillating masses in a measuring direction perpendicular to an excitation direction. The detection means comprise an excitation frame associated with each oscillating mass and a mobile detection element surrounded by a corresponding excitation frame and comprising a plurality of mobile electrodes, and first and second sets of interconnected fixed electrodes fixedly secured to the substrate on which they are formed. Each mobile electrode is disposed between associated fixed electrodes of the first and second sets to form two variable differential capacitors. The fixed electrodes of each set are interconnected by means of interconnection bars made of electrically conducting material extending above the fixed electrodes in a plane substantially parallel to the substrate.
