    摘要: The objects of the present invention are to form MEMS structures of which stress is controlled while maintaining the performance of high-performance LSI, to integrate MEMS Structures and LSI on a single chip, to electrically and chemically protect the MEMS structure and to reduce the stress of the whole movable part of the MEMS structure. To achieve the above objects, a silicide film formable at a low temperature is used for the MEMS structure. The temperature at the silicide film deposition T1 is selected optionally with reference the heat treatment temperature T2 and the pseudo-crystallization temperature T3. T2, the temperature of manufacturing process after the silicide film deposition, is determined does not cause the degradation of the characteristics of the high-performance LSI indispensable. Thus, the residual stress of the MEMS structures may be controlled.

    摘要: In the manufacturing technology of an integrated MEMS in which a semiconductor integrated circuit (CMOS or the like) and a micro machine are monolithically integrated on a semiconductor substrate, a technology capable of manufacturing the integrated MEMS without using a special process different from the normal manufacturing technology of a semiconductor integrated circuit is provided. A MEMS structure is formed together with an integrated circuit by using the CMOS integrated circuit process. For example, when forming an acceleration sensor, a structure composed of a movable mass, an elastic beam and a fixed beam is formed by using the CMOS interconnect technology. Thereafter, an interlayer dielectric and the like are etched by using the CMOS process to form a cavity. Then, fine holes used in the etching are sealed with a dielectric.

The sensor includes a capacitor having a capacitance varying with a physical quantity, a capacitance-voltage conversion circuit for converting the capacitance of the capacitor into a voltage, and a control signal generation circuit for generating a plurality of control signals. The capacitor has a frequency-capacitance characteristic with a resonant frequency. In a measurement of the physical quantity, the capacitance of the capacitor is measured with one of the control signals having a first frequency which is much higher or much lower than the resonant frequency. In a self-diagnosis of the sensor, the capacitance of the capacitor is measured with another one of the control signals having a second frequency which is equal or close to the resonant frequency.
