    摘要: An acceleration sensor is constructed by a substrate, a cylindrical dead-weight movable electrode to be displaced by acceleration, a fixed electrode from the inside of which a cylinder is hollowed, a cylindrical anchor arranged on the substrate for supporting the dead-weight movable electrode with elastic transformable structural material and beams. When acceleration is applied from the outside, the cylindrical detecting face of the dead-weight movable electrode and the cylindrical detected face of the fixed electrode are in contact on a two-dimensional plane parallel to the substrate and the acceleration sensor detects the contact. A radial interval between the detecting face of the dead-weight movable electrode and the detected face of the fixed electrode is set in view of the elastic modulus of the beams so that external force can be detected isotropically and the acceleration sensor detects acceleration on a two-dimensional plane nondirectionally.

    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: In a method of manufacturing a dynamic amount sensor including a beam structure and a fixed electrode which are respectively supported by anchor parts of a substrate, opening portions are formed on a first semiconductor substrate where the anchor parts are to be formed. Each of the opening portions is composed of a plurality of stripe-like openings. Then a first thin film for forming the anchor parts and a second thin film are formed on the first semiconductor substrate in that order. After the surface of the second thin film is polished, a second semiconductor substrate is bonded to the polished surface of the second thin film. In this method, because the opening portions are composed of the plurality of stripe-like openings, the second thin film is flattened without having any steps thereon.

    摘要: Adverse effects due to electrostatic force between a semiconductor substrate and a movable electrode are avoided with a new structure. A movable electrode of beam structure is disposed at a specified interval above a p-type silicon substrate. Fixed electrodes, each composed of an impurity diffusion layer, are disposed on both sides of the movable electrode on the p-type silicon substrate; these fixed electrodes are self-aligningly with respect to the movable electrode. The movable electrode is displaced in accompaniment to the action of acceleration, and acceleration is detected by change (fluctuation) in current between the fixed electrodes generated by means of this displacement. Additionally, an electrode for movable electrode upward-movement use is disposed above the movable electrode, a potential difference is given between the movable electrode and the electrode for movable electrode upward-movement use, and attractive force of the movable electrode to the silicon substrate is alleviated.

    摘要: A semiconductor type yaw rate sensor has a substrate, a beam structure formed from a semiconductor material and having at least one anchor portion disposed on the substrate, a weighted portion located above the substrate a predetermined gap therefrom, and a beam portion which extends from the anchor portion and supports the weighted portion. A movable electrode is formed onto the weighted portion, and a fixed electrode is formed on the substrate in such a manner that the fixed electrode faces the movable electrode. When a drive voltage is applied between the movable electrode and the fixed electrode, the beam structure is forcibly caused to vibrate in a direction that is horizontal relative to a substrate surface plane. In this yaw rate sensor, a strain gauge to monitor forced vibration of the beam structure is formed in the beam portion. As a result, the forced vibration of the beam structure can be monitored with a simple structure.
