    摘要: When forming a trench of a narrow width in a thick semiconductor layer, a trench can be formed without the occurrence of semiconductor residue. In this Specification, a semiconductor device in which a trench is formed in a semiconductor layer is disclosed. In the semiconductor layer of the semiconductor device, a compensation pattern which compensates for sudden changes in the width of the trench is formed at a place at which the width of the trench changes suddenly. In the semiconductor layer of the above-described semiconductor device, since a compensation pattern is formed at a place at which the trench width changes suddenly, in the case where forming the trench using a deep RIE method, the occurrence of steep inclined portions arising from semiconductor residue can be prevented. Consequently, when forming a trench of a narrow width in a thick semiconductor layer, the occurrence of semiconductor residue can be prevented.

    摘要: The micro device includes a support substrate, and a movable structure configured to move with respect to the support substrate. At least one of the support substrate and the movable structure is provided with at least one protrusion protruding towards the other of the support substrate and the movable structure. Further, a base portion extending into the one of the support substrate and the movable structure is provided integrally with the at least one protrusion. With this configuration, the protrusion is securely held by the base portion, and the detachment of the protrusion can therefore be prevented even after repeated collisions between the support substrate and the movable structure via the protrusion.

    摘要: The numbers of pulses of the CW signal and the CCW signal of the optical fiber gyro during a predetermined sampling duration are detected by samplers. An abnormality determiner determines that the optical fiber gyro is normal if at least one of the pulse numbers is greater than or equal to a threshold value. If both pulse numbers are smaller than the threshold value, the abnormality determiner determines that an abnormality, such as a circuit break, a bad connection, etc., has occurred, and outputs the result of determination to an output unit. The abnormality determiner may determine an abnormality on the basis of the presence/absence of quantization noise.

    摘要: An angular velocity detected by an angular velocity sensor (10) is integrated by a small angle matrix calculator (12) and a matrix adding calculator (14), and then restored as a posture angle (angular velocity posture angle) by a matrix posture angle calculator (16). A posture matrix is calculated by a tilt angle calculator (22) and an acceleration matrix calculator (24) and an acceleration detected by an acceleration sensor (20) is restored as a posture angle (acceleration posture angle) by a matrix posture angle calculator (26). Low pass filters (18, 28) each extract a low range component, the difference between the two is calculated by a differencer (30), and only the drift amount is extracted. A subtracter (32) removes the drift amount from the angular velocity posture angle and the result is output from an output device (34). In addition, a posture angle matrix calculator (36) converts the result to a posture matrix, which it feeds back to the matrix adding calculator (14).

    摘要: A structure is presented in which it is easy to adjust, to a determined value, distance between electrodes of a condenser formed in an electrostatic capacity-type displacement sensor. A displacement sensor has a conductive lower layer, an insulating layer stacked on the conductive lower layer and a conductive upper layer stacked on the insulating layer. The conductive lower layer is divided into a first lower region and a second lower region by a groove penetrating the conductive lower layer. The insulating layer is stacked on the conductive lower layer at selected portions. The conductive upper layer is stacked on the insulating layer at selected portions. The conductive upper layer has a beam connected via the insulating layer to the first lower region and the second lower region at a pair of ends of the beam. The conductive upper layer has a first upper portion forming one of electrodes of a first condenser. The first upper portion extends from a position above the first lower region to a position above the second lower region. The insulating layer is not formed between the first upper portion and the first lower region, but is formed between the first upper portion and the second lower region.
