    摘要: A method for the quantitative assessment of the degree of geometrical deformation undergone by a surface profile of a wafer following the formation of a conformal surface layer employs a simple mechanical profilometer, whose stylus is run over a target morphological detail comprising at least two mutually parallel ridges or reliefs which rise above the plane of the surface of the wafer for a height of between 0.1 and 0.5 .mu.m, and which enclose between them a depression of a width of between 2 and 4 .mu.m, in order to determine the elevation of the bottom of the valley between the two ridges relative to the plane of the surface of the wafer from which the ridges rise following the formation of one or more similar surface layers. The vertical measurement of the elevation undergone by the bottom of the valley in itself represents a quantitative index of the vertical and horizontal geometrical deformation undergone by the details of the surface profile of the wafer. In order to determine characteristics of automatic alignability by a particular apparatus employing said target details for automatic alignment, it is possible to establish a maximum value for said distortion index, determined as above, above which the automatic alignment capability is lost.

    摘要: A process for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer including SOI-insulation wells includes forming, in a die region of a semiconductor body, buried cavities and semiconductor structural elements, which traverse the buried cavities and are distributed in the die region. The process moreover includes the step of oxidizing selectively first adjacent semiconductor structural elements, arranged inside a closed region, and preventing oxidation of second semiconductor structural elements outside the closed region, so as to form a die buried dielectric layer selectively inside the closed region.

    摘要: A process for manufacturing an integrated membrane made of semiconductor material includes the step of forming, in a monolithic body of semiconductor material having a front face, a buried cavity, extending at a distance from the front face and delimiting with the front face a surface region of the monolithic body, the surface region forming a membrane that is suspended above the buried cavity. The process further envisages the step of forming an insulation structure in a surface portion of the monolithic body to electrically insulate the membrane from the monolithic body; and the further and distinct step of setting the insulation structure at a distance from the membrane so that it will be positioned outside the membrane at a non-zero distance of separation.

    摘要: A process for manufacturing a suspended structure of semiconductor material envisages the steps of: providing a monolithic body of semiconductor material having a front face; forming a buried cavity within the monolithic body, extending at a distance from the front face and delimiting, with the front face, a surface region of the monolithic body, said surface region having a first thickness; carrying out a thickening thermal treatment such as to cause a migration of semiconductor material of the monolithic body towards the surface region and thus form a suspended structure above the buried cavity, the suspended structure having a second thickness greater than the first thickness. The thickening thermal treatment is an annealing treatment.

    摘要: A process for manufacturing an integrated differential pressure sensor includes forming, in a monolithic body of semiconductor material having a first face and a second face, a cavity extending at a distance from the first face and delimiting therewith a flexible membrane, forming an access passage in fluid communication with the cavity, and forming, in the flexible membrane, at least one transduction element configured so as to convert a deformation of the flexible membrane into electrical signals. The cavity is formed in a position set at a distance from the second face and delimits, together with the second face, a portion of the monolithic body. In order to form the access passage, the monolithic body is etched so as to form an access trench extending through it.

    摘要: The microreactor is formed by a sandwich including a first body, an intermediate sealing layer and a second body. A buried channel extends in the first body and communicates with the surface of the first body through a first and a second apertures. A first and a second reservoirs are formed in the second body and are at least partially aligned with the first and second apertures. The sealing layer separates the first aperture from the first reservoir and the second aperture from the second reservoir, thereby avoiding contamination of liquids contained in the buried channel from the outside and from any adjacent buried channels. The sealing layer is perforated during use of the device, but a resilient plug can be used to reseal the device.
