    摘要: A capacitance type acceleration sensor includes a semiconductor substrate, a weight portion supported with the substrate through a spring portion, a movable electrode integrated with the weight portion, and a fixed electrode cantilevered with the substrate. The movable electrode is displaced along with a facing surface of the movable electrode in accordance with acceleration. The facing surface of the movable electrode faces a facing surface of the fixed electrode so as to provide a capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor changes in accordance with a displacement of the movable electrode so that an outer circuit detects the acceleration as a capacitance change. Each facing surface of the movable and fixed electrodes has a concavity and convexity portion for increasing the capacitance change.

    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.
