    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having on a silicon substrate semiconductor elements and aluminum (Al) alloy wiring leads as electrically connected thereto is disclosed. The method includes the steps of forming on the silicon substrate an Al alloy layer containing therein copper (Cu), and forming on the Al alloy layer a titanium nitride (TiN) film with enhanced chemical reactivity by using sputtering techniques while applying thereto a DC power of 5.5 W/cm2 or less. Fabrication of such reactivity-rich TiN film on the Al alloy layer results in a reaction layer of Al and Ti being subdivided into several spaced-apart segments. In this case, the reaction layer hardly serves as any diffusion path; thus, it becomes possible to prevent Cu as contained in the Al alloy layer from attempting to outdiffuse with the reaction layer being as its diffusion path. This makes it possible to suppress or minimize unwanted fabrication of AlN on or above the surface of an Al containing lead pattern, thereby enabling increase in electromigration (EM) lifetime of electrical interconnect leads used.

    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to obtain an electrode wiring structure for semiconductor devices that can suppress the occurrence of Al voids inside aluminum alloy wiring without regard to the orientation of such aluminum alloy wiring. An interlayer insulator film 11, a titanium layer 12, a titanium nitride layer 13 that serves as the barrier layer, an aluminum alloy wiring layer 15 and a protective film 18 are formed on top of the silicon substrate 10 to compose the electrode structure. In this case, a distortion relaxation layer 14, with a film thickness of approximately over 10 nm and which is an intermetallic compound that includes aluminum and titanium in its composition, is formed in between the titanium nitride layer 13 and the aluminum alloy wiring layer 15. Because of this distortion relaxation layer, for every wiring width of 1 &mgr;m, the number of Al voids with widths of over 0.3 &mgr;m is practically reduced to 0.

    摘要: A semiconductor pressure sensing apparatus includes a metallic stem having a diaphragm and a semiconductor sensor bonded to the diaphragm. The semiconductor sensor includes a gauge section and first and second bonding pads. The gauge section is configured to be deformed according to a deformation of the diaphragm. The first and second bonding pads are respectively connected to different positions of the gauge section so that an electrical resistance between the first and second bonding pads can change with a change in the deformation of the diaphragm. The gauge section is formed to a semiconductor layer of an silicon-on-insulator substrate. The semiconductor sensor is directly bonded to the diaphragm by activating contact surfaces between the semiconductor sensor and the diaphragm.

    摘要: The object of the present invention is to provide a closed battery capable of rapidly releasing the internal pressure thereof and at the same time disconnecting the current to effectively prevent itself from temperature rising and exploding so that in such a completely closed battery it may assure the safety and reliability thereof, when the internal pressure is elevated due to short circuit, overcharge, reverse charge, or the like. A valve element 5 is provided with a slit 3 between the circumference thereof and a metal substrate 1. When the internal pressure of a battery is elevated, the valve element 5 is smoothly raised up together with a metal foil 2 from a bending fulcrum portion 4 to thereby cut a lead wire 6 or permit a braze portion 8 to detach from the lead wire 6, thus disconnecting the current reliably. Then, the metal foil which usually closes the slit formed around the circumference of the valve element 5 is allowed to burst stably and accurately at a prescribed pressure to thereby form a valve opening portion 7 so that the internal gas of the battery can be discharged.

The physical sensor detects horizontal physical quantity based on a capacitance between the movable and fixed electrodes, and vertical physical quantity based on a capacitance between the movable and lower electrodes. The beam includes vertical and horizontal beams. The thickness of the vertical beam is smaller than the thickness of the horizontal beam.
