摘要:
A vibrating type transducer wherein an H-shaped vibrator, formed integrally with a silicon substrate and having a hollow chamber provided therearound, is kept self oscillating at its natural resonance frequency together with an amplifier. A physical quantity, such as force, pressure, differential pressure, or the like, which is applied to the silicon substrate is detected by a change in the natural frequency arising at the vibrator corresponding to the physical quantity. The invention also includes a method for manufacturing such transducer using a semiconductor technique, including steps for keeping a vacuum internally in the hollow chamber, imparting an initial tension to the vibrator, and then operating the amplifier to have stable self oscillation.

A semiconductor differential pressure measuring device comprising two measurement diaphragms and two detection sensors provided in a semiconductor substrate using micromachining techniques, and a computing circuit which computes the differences between the two sensor outputs, wherein a communicating hole is provided for applying pressure to each diaphragm so that the diaphragms operate in opposite phases by differential pressure, and two detecting sensors are provided on each diaphragm for detecting displacement or strain of each diaphragm caused by the differential pressure applied to the respective diaphragm, whereby detecting the differences in displacement or strain cancels the static pressure error and temperature error so that the invention has excellent temperature and static pressure characteristics, and whereby the computing circuit comprises a bridge using the two detecting sensors, which substantially reduces the cost of the device.
摘要:
A semiconductor type differential pressure measurement apparatus is disclosed comprising a measuring diaphragm having its periphery fixed, and two measuring chambers, each having a predetermined spacing along both surfaces of the measuring diaphragm, and which detects differential pressure within allowable limits of measurement. When an overpressure is applied, the diaphragm is stopped by a wall of a measuring chamber to prevent the diaphragm from being damaged by overpressure, so that no additional mechanism is required to prevent damage from overpressure. One embodiment utilizes an additional chamber and overhang to reduce overpressure. Another embodiment utilizes a measuring chamber having the two sides of the diaphragm exposed to the ambient to eliminate need for a pressure resistant casing. In a further embodiment, injected impurities serve as a terminal.

A vibrating type pressure measuring device having good shock wave proof measuring characteristics, high frequency response, good temperature characteristics, and can be readily miniaturized, wherein pressure to be measured is applied to a silicon diaphragm provided in an internal vacant space of a housing, and a magnetic field is applied by a DC current magnetic field applying device to a vibrator beam arranged in the inside of the diaphragm, with a gap therebetween kept in vacuum, and fixed to the diaphragm at both ends, and detects the changes in natural frequency of the vibrator beam caused by the pressure to be measured. The diaphragm and/or vibrator beam are constructed so one or the other or both have rough or uneven surfaces so as to prevent any adhesion therebetween.

A vibratory transducer comprising a vibratory beam composed of an n-type layer and having at least one end fixed. The vibratory beam is formed by selectively etching an n-type layer formed by adding impurities locally to a single silicon crystal. The vibratory transducer also comprises means for vibrating the vibratory beam and means for detecting vibration of the vibratory beam. The vibratory transducer measures pressure, temperature, density, etc, by detecting change in the resonant frequency of the vibratory beam. The vibratory beam can be finely etched irrespective of the density of the impurities therein by forming the vibratory beam in an alkaline aqueous solution while applying a negative DC or pulsed voltage to a p-type layer and a positive DC or pulsed voltage to an n-type layer. The vibrating and detecting means for the vibratory beam can be easily provided by making a diode and a transistor including the vibratory beam in the transducer.
