    摘要: The present disclosure discloses a bipolar transistor type MEMS pressure sensor and a preparation method thereof. The bipolar transistor type MEMS pressure sensor includes a thin film, a cantilever beam and a bipolar transistor. The bipolar transistor includes a base region, a collector region and an emitter region. The base region is configured to sense deformation of the thin film through a change in resistance value. For the bipolar transistor type MEMS pressure sensor of the disclosure, sensitivity of the sensor can be effectively improved without changing the performance indicators such as the measurement range and nonlinearity. Meanwhile, the bipolar transistor is used as a pressure-sensitive element, so that temperature drift of the sensor can be effectively inhibited.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a passivation layer and a passivation layer for an electronic device. The passivation layer includes at least one passivation film layer and at least one nanoparticle layer. A first film layer is formed of an insulating matrix, such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and a first layer of a noble metal nanoparticle layer, such as a platinum nanoparticle layer, is deposited on the first film layer. Additional layers are formed of alternating film layers and nanoparticle layers. The resulting passivation layer provides a thin and robust passivation layer of high film quality to protect electronic devices, components, and systems from the disruptive environmental conditions.

    摘要: A thin silicon-rich nitride film (e.g., having a thickness in the range of around 100A to 10000A) deposited using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) is used for etch stop during vapor HF etching in various MEMS wafer fabrication processes and devices. The LPCVD silicon-rich nitride film may replace, or be used in combination with, a LPCVD stoichiometric nitride layer in many existing MEMS fabrication processes and devices. The LPCVD silicon-rich nitride film is deposited at high temperatures (e.g., typically around 650-900 degrees C.). Such a LPCVD silicon-rich nitride film generally has enhanced etch selectivity to vapor HF and other harsh chemical environments compared to stoichiometric silicon nitride and therefore a thinner layer typically can be used as an embedded etch stop layer in various MEMS wafer fabrication processes and devices and particularly for vapor HF etching processes, saving time and money in the fabrication process.
