    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 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 semiconductor sensor has gauge resistors. The gauge resistors connect with aluminum electrodes through contact holes, and form a bridge circuit. The gauge resistors are formed on each chip area of a semiconductor substrate before dicing the chip areas. Then, the resistances of the gauge resistors or the output of the bridge circuit are measured. Contact positions of the gauge resistors or the size and/or shape of the contact holes are adjusted based on the result of the measurement in order to adjust the offset voltage of the bridge circuit formed on each chip area.

    摘要: A semiconductor strain sensor has a gauge forming region on a p-type substrate surrounded by a p-type isolation region that reaches the p-type substrate. The p-type substrate is etched so that the entire bottom surface of the gauge forming region is covered by the p-type substrate, and the p-type substrate or p-type isolation region is not exposed to the etched recess portion or isolation groove, each of which have a relatively high number of defects. Thus, leakage current at the PN junction can be decreased to decrease a variation in the potential of the gauge forming region.

    摘要: In an angular velocity sensor, a beam portion couples a pair of vibrators with each other and couples each of the vibrators to a substrate to enable the pair of vibrators to be movable in a first direction and a second direction that are perpendicular to each other. The driving portion vibrates the pair of vibrators in opposite phases in the first direction. The detecting portion detects displacement of the pair of vibrators in the second direction as a change in capacitance. The detecting portion includes first and second detecting electrodes. The restricting portion restricts displacement of the pair of vibrators in the second direction based on the change in capacitance. The restricting portion includes first and second restricting electrodes, and an electrode interval between the restricting electrodes is twice a width of the detecting electrodes in the second direction.
