    摘要: A method for fabricating a semiconductor sensor wherein deflection of a movable member is disclosed. A silicon oxide film is formed on a silicon substrate, and a movable member composed of polycrystalline silicon is formed on the silicon oxide film by means of a low-pressured chemical vapor deposition process. At this time, silane is caused to flow into an oven, and the supply of silane is stopped when a layer of polycrystalline silicon has been deposited on the silicon substrate, and a first polycrystalline silicon layer is formed. By means of stopping the supply of silane, a silicon oxide layer of a thickness of several angstroms to several tens of angstroms is formed on the first polycrystalline silicon layer by atmosphere O.sub.2. A second polycrystalline silicon layer of a thickness of 1 .mu.m is formed on the silicon oxide layer by means of causing silane to flow into the oven. Patterning by dry etching or the like through a photo-lithographic process is performed to form a movable member. The silicon oxide film below the movable member is then etched.

    摘要: A semiconductor acceleration sensor according to the present invention performs acceleration detection by means of detecting increase or decrease in electrical current flowing between fixed electrodes formed on a semiconductor substrate taking a movable section in a movable state supported on the semiconductor substrate as a gate electrode. Two transistor structures are utilized in this detection. Current between fixed electrodes in one transistor structure increases when the movable section is subjected to acceleration and is displaced. At that time, current between fixed electrodes in the other transistor structure decreases. These two transistor structures are disposed proximately. By means of this proximate disposition, fluctuations in characteristics of both transistors are reduced, and by means of acceleration detection by differential type, temperature characteristics of the two transistors can be canceled favorably.

    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: 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 capacitance type acceleration sensor includes a semiconductor substrate, a weight portion supported with the substrate through a spring portion, a movable electrode integrated with the weight portion, and a fixed electrode cantilevered with the substrate. The movable electrode is displaced along with a facing surface of the movable electrode in accordance with acceleration. The facing surface of the movable electrode faces a facing surface of the fixed electrode so as to provide a capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor changes in accordance with a displacement of the movable electrode so that an outer circuit detects the acceleration as a capacitance change. Each facing surface of the movable and fixed electrodes has a concavity and convexity portion for increasing the capacitance change.
