    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: A flow sensor, which includes a diaphragm, is made such that the diaphragm is flat or outwardly deformed to allow fluid flow rate measurements at higher flow rates. The diaphragm is made of an upper set of insulating films, electric devices, and a lower set of insulating films. The component layers of the diaphragm are formed such that the average stress in the upper set of insulating films is more compressive than the average stress in the lower set of insulating films.

    摘要: A semiconductor physical quantity sensor includes a substrate and a beam structure having movable electrodes and spacing a given distance from an upper surface of the substrate. First fixed electrodes and second fixed electrodes are fixedly provided on the upper surface of the substrate. Each first fixed electrode faces one side of the corresponding movable electrode, while each second fixed electrode faces the other side of the corresponding movable electrode. A laminated structure of a lower layer insulating film, conductive films and an upper layer insulating film is arranged at an upper portion of the substrate. The conductive layers form a first wiring pattern for the first fixed electrodes, a second wiring pattern for the second fixed electrodes and a lower electrode. The first wiring pattern is electrically connected to the first fixed electrodes via openings formed in the upper layer insulating film and anchors of the first fixed electrodes, respectively. The second wiring pattern is electrically connected to the second fixed electrodes via openings formed in the upper layer insulating film and anchors of the second fixed electrodes, respectively. The lower electrode is electrically connected to the beam structure via an opening formed in the upper layer insulating film and an anchor of the beam structure.

    摘要: A capacitance type physical quantity sensor detects physical quantity. The sensor includes a movable portion including a movable electrode and a fixed portion including a fixed electrode. The fixed electrode includes a detection surface facing a detection surface of the movable electrode. The movable electrode is movable toward the fixed electrode in accordance with the physical quantity so that a distance between the detection surfaces is changeable. At least one of the movable and the fixed electrodes includes a groove. The groove is disposed on a top or a bottom of the one of the movable and the fixed electrodes, has a predetermined depth from the top or the bottom, and extends from the detection surface to an opposite surface.

    摘要: The present invention provides a semiconductor physical-quantity sensor which can perform measurement of high accuracy without occurrence of deformation or displacement of a fixed electrode for vibration use even if voltage applied to the fixed electrode for vibration use is changed, and which can increase a dielectric breakdown voltage between the fixed electrode for vibration use and a substrate without varying a thickness of an insulative sacrificial layer or causing sacrificial-layer etching time to be affected. A semiconductor physical-quantity sensor according to the present invention forms an electrode-anchor portion on a sufficiently thick insulation film and causes dielectric breakdown voltage with a semiconductor substrate to be increased. In particular, the sufficiently thick insulation film is given by a LOCOS oxide film formed during sensor detection-circuit fabrication or separation of a diffusion electrode.
