    摘要: After finishing of the front side CMOS manufacturing process, the silicon wafer is permanently bonded with its front side onto a carrier wafer. The carrier wafer is a high resistivity silicon wafer or a wafer of a dielectric or of a ceramic material. The silicon substrate of the device wafer is thinned from the back side such that the remaining silicon thickness is only a few micrometers. In the area dedicated to a spiral inductor, the substrate material is entirely removed by a masked etching process and the resulting gap is filled with a dielectric material. A spiral inductor coil is formed on the backside of the wafer on top of the dielectric material. The inductor coil is connected to the CMOS circuits on the front side by through-silicon vias.

    摘要: An integrated Hall sensor is provided with: a main wafer (10) of semiconductor material having a substrate (101) with a first surface (101a) and a second surface (101b), opposite to the first surface (101a) along a vertical axis (y); Hall sensor terminals (1, 2, 3, 4; 1′, 2′, 3′, 4′) arranged at least one of the first and second surfaces (101a, 101b) of the substrate (101); an isolation structure (109) in the substrate (101) defining a Hall sensor plate (103) of the integrated Hall sensor, the Hall sensor terminals being arranged in the isolation structure (109). The integrated Hall sensor moreover has a test or calibration coil integrated in the wafer (10), having a plurality of windings formed, at least in part, by metal portions (130b, 170b; 130a, 170a) arranged above the first and second surfaces (101a, 101b) of the substrate (101) and defining an inner volume (1001) entirely enclosing the Hall sensor plate (103).
