    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: An etching method for a silicon substrate, which can easily smooth the etching surface of the (110)-oriented silicon, is disclosed. A container is filled with KOH solution. In the KOH solution is immersed a (110)-oriented silicon wafer having a PN junction and is also disposed a platinum electrode plate to face the silicon wafer. To between a platinum electrode of the silicon wafer and the platinum electrode plate are connected a constant voltage power source, an ammeter and a contact in series. A controller starts etching from one surface on which the PN junction is formed, and terminates voltage application when the specified time lapses after the formation of an anodic oxide film is equilibrated with the etching of the anodic oxide film on the etching surface on the PN junction part. In this case, the controller detects flowing current through the ammeter, and the point of time when the equilibrium state is obtained is the point of inflection of the detected current to the constant current after the peak thereof.

    摘要: Plural semiconductor chips such as acceleration sensor chips formed on the first surface of a substrate are separated into individual pieces by dicing the substrate from the second surface thereof. A groove surrounding each sensor chip, along which the sensor chip is diced out, is formed at the same time the sensor chip is formed on the first surface. Before dicing, a protecting sheet covering the first surface is pasted along the sidewalls and the bottom wall of the groove. The groove is made sufficiently wide to ensure that the protecting sheet is bent along the walls of the groove without leaving a space between the groove and the protecting sheet. Thus, dicing dusts generated in the dicing process are prevented from being scattered and entering the sensor chip.

    摘要: A semiconductor physical quantity sensor includes a substrate, a beam-structure movable portion and a fixed portion. The beam-structure movable portion is suspended by four anchors formed of polycrystalline films. A rectangular mass is suspended between beams. Movable electrodes project from both sides of the mass. First fixed electrodes and second fixed electrodes are fixedly provided on the surface of the substrate. The substrate has a laminated structure, wherein an oxide film, attaching film, insulating films, conductive film and insulating film are laminated on the substrate. An anchor formed from the conductive film is electrically connected to the attaching film. An electrode pad made of an aluminum film is provided the above the anchor. Because this structure enables the potential of the attaching film to be fixed, parasitic capacitance can be decreased.

    摘要: In the present invention, a first protective layer formed over a diaphragm is prevented from being etched unnecessarily at the time of etching a second protective layer, and the detection accuracy of the diaphragm is improved.In a process for producing a semiconductor pressure sensor, a first protective layer 4, a metal layer 8 and a second protective layer 6 are successively formed by deposition over a diaphragm 1a, and the second protective layer 6 is removed by etching so that the second protective layer 6 is left on a predetermined portion of an electrode 5. Since the metal layer 8 acts as an etching stopper layer at the time of removing the second protective layer 6 by etching, the first protective layer 4 over the diaphragm 1a is prevented from being etched. The metal layer 8 is removed by etching thereafter so that only the first protective layer 4 is formed over the diaphragm 1a.
