    摘要: An acceleration sensor has an oscillating structure which is movably suspended on a substrate and can be deflected by an acting acceleration. The acceleration sensor also has an analyzing arrangement detecting a deflection of the oscillating structure due to the acceleration. The oscillating structure and/or the analyzing arrangement are connected to the substrate by mechanical decoupling devices.

    摘要: A method of plasma etching, in particular of anisotropic plasma etching, of laterally defined structures in a silicon substrate, using a process gas, includes having at least one passivating material precipitated on the side walls of the laterally defined structures at least from time to time prior to and/or during etching. In an exemplary method, at least one of the compounds selected from the group ClF3, BrF3, or IF5 is added to the process gas as a fluorine-delivering etching gas. In another exemplary method, NF3 is added to the process gas, at least from time to time, as an additive consuming the passivating material. Finally, in another exemplary method, a light and easily ionizable gas, in particular H2, He, or Ne, is added, at least from time to time, to the process gas. The three exemplary methods may be combined.

    摘要: A field effect transistor suited for use as a sensor element or in an acceleration sensor is described. For this purpose, the field effect transistor within a planar substrate has a drain area and a source area, which are separated from each other by a channel region. In addition, a gate electrode is provided which is arranged so as to be substantially self-supporting above the substrate over the channel region. The gate electrode is flexibly supported such that an external force acting upon it which has a component acting parallel to the surface of the substrate causes a deflection of the gate electrode parallel to the surface of the substrate. A method is also described in which, in a first method step, an integrated circuit having a drain area, a source area, and a channel region is manufactured or made available in a CMOS process, and thereafter, in a second method step, the substantially self-supporting gate electrode is produced on the integrated circuit using electroplating additive technology.

    摘要: A suspension or an acceleration sensor having a suspension is proposed, by means of which a micromechanical structure or the acceleration sensor is anchored on a substrate. The suspension takes place by means of lever elements on which an equalizing beam acts. The lever elements are deformed by the stresses in the equalizing beam with respect to the substrate in such a way that the stresses in the microstructure with respect to the substrate are either compensated for or, alternatively, are converted from compressive stresses to tensile stresses or from tensile stresses to compressive stresses.

    摘要: A manufacturing method for a micromechanical device. In this method, a substrate is prepared with a plating base area to accommodate an anchoring region, and an adhesive layer is formed and structured on the substrate, so that the anchoring region is formed in the plating base area in the form of a quasi-insular region in a recess of the adhesive layer. The quasi-insular region is connected to the adhesive layer outside of the plated based area by at least one thin web. A mask is formed on the adhesive layer and structured so that the anchoring region and an overgrowth region adjacent to the anchoring region remain unmasked. An electroplated layer is deposited on the unmasked anchoring region so that the overgrowth region is overgrown, and the mask and the part of the adhesive layer that has not been overgrown are removed.
