摘要:
A terminal metallization (8) is applied onto and structured on a layer structure on the upper side of the component, the terminal metallization is applied on the upper side of an insulating layer (7) with an opening on a metallization (6) provided for electrical connection. By filling a hole produced in a covering dielectric with metal, a contact rod (12) seated on this terminal metallization (8) is formed. This contact rod is resiliently movable in a surrounding opening (14) of the component on the free part of the terminal metallization (8) anchored in the layer structure. This enables the reversible contacting of the component to a further component arranged vertically thereto, whereby the planar upper sides lying opposite one another can be brought into intimate contact because the contact rod (12) pressed against a contact (15) of the other component is pressed back into the opening (14) and an adequately firm connection of the contacts is achieved by the spring power of the terminal metallization (8).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for the reversible contacting of a semiconductor circuit level to assist in performing a function test. The apparatus includes a testing head having test points arranged at a test side lying opposite the contact surfaces of a semiconductor circuit level. The test points are formed of liquid contacts in recesses in the test side of the testing head wherein the liquid contacts form menisci that project beyond the surface of the testing head. The recesses, in turn, are provided for metallizations which are connected to electrically-conductive leads. In addition, the surface may be provided with a roughening or with etched trenches.

A function test is implemented for an individual circuit level (1) that is provided for vertical integration in a semiconductor component. Stacks of circuit levels respectively provided over or under this circuit level in the finished component are simulated as test heads (2, 3). These test heads are provided with terminal contacts for reversible contacting. The circuit level (1) under test is connected to these test heads (2, 3) during the function test, and the test heads are removed after the test.

A bipolar transistor with a collector, a base and an emitter disposed in vertical succession includes a semiconductor substrate, insulating oxide zones disposed in the substrate for separating adjacent transistors, and a buried collector terminal layer at least partly disposed on the insulating oxide zones. An insulator structure laterally surrounding a collector. A subcollector is surrounded by the insulating oxide zones, has the same conductivity type with a lower impedance than the collector, is disposed under the collector and under the insulator structure, and is electrically connected to the collector. The insulator structure covers the buried collector terminal layer, laterally insulates the collector from the buried collector terminal layer, and has lateral surfaces extending inside the insulating oxide regions up to the subcollector. The buried collector terminal layer is in direct contact with the subcollector. The collector is electrically connected to the buried collector terminal layer only through the subcollector. The insulator structure has a contact hole extending to the buried collector terminal layer laterally of the active transistor zone, and a metallization filling the contact hole. A process for producing the bipolar transistor includes producing an insulator structure on a substrate for determining a location for a collector; and producing the collector by selective epitaxy only inside the insulator structure, for laterally insulating the collector with the insulator structure. An integrated circuit and method include such bipolar transistors and CMOS transistors.

In a lateral bipolar transistor and a method for producing the same, an emitter layer and a collector layer are disposed on a structured dielectric layer. The structured dielectric layer is located in a plane of a base layer and is interrupted by the base layer in such a way that between the base layer and portions of the structured dielectric layer, the base layer is contacted on one side by the emitter layer and on the opposite side by the collector layer.

An acceleration sensor has a proof mass attached by resilient elements, in the form of micromechanical components, in a monocrystalline silicon layer of an SOI (silicon-on-insulator) substrate, the insulator layer of the substrate being removed under the structure which is susceptible to acceleration, in order to enable free mobility of the micromechanical components. Piezoresistors are provided for detecting movement of the proof mass, the piezoresistors supplying electrical signals to an evaluation circuit.
摘要:
An acceleration sensor is produced on a silicon substrate by etching to leave a cantilevered beam of polysilicon with a tip on the substrate projecting toward this beam. Acceleration of the sensor causes the beam to bend, thereby changing the spacing between the tip and the beam, and thereby also changing the tunnel current, which is measured. Electrodes are provided that, given application of a potential thereto, effect an electrostatic compensation of the bending of the beam.
摘要:
A method for producing a bipolar transistor completely surrounded by an insulating trench in a substrate. Insulating regions at the surface of the substrate can be produced by depositing an SiO.sub.2 layer on the basis of thermal decomposition of TEOS and subsequent structuring of the SiO.sub.2 layer. The insulating regions can be employed as a self-aligning mask for the production of a collector terminal and of a substrate terminal.
