    摘要: A semiconductor pressure transducer assembly comprising a silicon diaphragm assembly and a glass covering member. The silicon diaphragm assembly has a circular diaphragm portion of thin silicon which is formed using etching, and a thick supporting portion therearound. Piezoresistive elements of a piezoresistive bridge circuit and conducting paths for electrically connection thereof are formed on the silicon diaphragm assembly. On a surface of the silicon diaphragm assembly, a passivating layer of silicon dioxide are formed in uniform thickness, and further on a surface of the passivating layer is formed a layer of polysilicon on the supporting portion of the silicon diaphragm assembly. In the passivating layer, a contacting window is formed, through which the polysilicon layer is electrically connected to the silicon diaphragm assembly. The covering member of borosilicate glass having a circular well is mounted and bonded onto the silicon diaphragm assembly in contact with the polysilicon layer using Anodic Bonding method. And the processed silicon diaphragm assembly has a flat surface thereof, on which the piezoresistive elements and the conducting paths are constructed using Ion Implantation method, or reforming a silicon dioxide layer thereon after removing another silicon dioxide layer used as mask in diffusing process.

    摘要: A method of making a silicon diaphragm pressure sensor includes forming an oxide film on one surface of a monocrystalline silicon substrate. A polycrystalline silicon layer is formed on the oxide film. The oxide film may be partly removed before the formation of the polycrystalline silicon layer. The polycrystalline silicon layer is heated and melt to recrystallize the same, thereby converting the polycrystalline silicon layer into a monocrystalline silicon layer. On the monocrystalline silicon layer may be epitaxially grown an additional monocrystalline silicon layer. By using the oxide film as an etching stopper, a predetermined portion of the substrate is etched over a range from the other surface of the substrate to the oxide film, thereby providing a diaphragm of the pressure sensor.
