圧室、高圧室と呼ぶ。There are many examples of differential pressure sensors that detect differential pressure and temperature. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing an example of the principle structure of a differential pressure transmitter currently used. A chamber is formed inside the housing 2, and a pressure-proof airtight terminal provided with a lead wire group 4 for taking out an output signal to the outside is attached. A communication hole is formed at a symmetrical position of the housing, and the sealing diaphragms 6, 6'are symmetrically covered so as to cover the communication hole.
Is provided. As is well known in this field, the silicon substrate 1 is welded to a casing body made of stainless steel through a fixing plate such as Pyrex glass having a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of silicon so as to block the communication hole.
A filling liquid is filled in the chambers 5 and 5 ', and a static pressure P on the low pressure side and a static pressure P + ΔP on the high pressure side are applied to the chambers 5 and 5', and the pressure is transmitted to the silicon substrate 1. The chambers 5 and 5'are referred to as a low pressure chamber and a high pressure chamber, respectively.

圧信号を得ることができる。A semiconductor gauge resistor group 111 sensitive to the differential pressure ΔP is formed on the thin portion 11 of the silicon substrate 1, and a semiconductor gauge resistor 121 sensitive to the temperature is formed on the fixed thick portion 12 by a diffusion method. These gauge resistances have high static pressure P
Are made insensitive, and are connected to an external circuit from the pressure-proof airtight terminals 3 provided on the housing 2 via the lead wire group 4. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a differential pressure ΔP from the semiconductor gauge resistance group 111, a signal proportional to the temperature T from the semiconductor gauge resistance 121, and a temperature-compensated differential pressure signal from the external circuit.

スト化の障害となっていた。However, the static pressure P applied to both sides of the thin portion 11 of the differential pressure transmitter
Is usually higher than 100 atm, so the low pressure chambers 5 on both sides are
The irregularity of the contraction amount of the enclosed liquid in the high-pressure chamber 5'and the deformation of the housing 2 deform the silicon substrate 1, so that the resistance value of the semiconductor gauge resistor group 111 changes accordingly. Therefore, the signal due to the static pressure is superimposed on the signal due to the differential pressure,
An accurate differential pressure signal cannot be obtained. That is, the static pressure influences the result, resulting in an error. In order to prevent this static pressure error, the amounts of the filled liquids in the low pressure chamber 5 and the high pressure chamber 5'must be exactly equal to each other, or the housing 2 should have a high rigidity so as not to be deformed by the static pressure P. Design,
This has become a major limitation in manufacturing, and has been an obstacle to downsizing and cost reduction of the differential pressure transmitter.
これに対し、静圧影響を補償するため、筐体外部の大気
圧を基準圧力とする相対圧形の静圧センサを設けた例が
ある。On the other hand, there is an example in which a relative pressure type static pressure sensor that uses the atmospheric pressure outside the housing as a reference pressure is provided in order to compensate for the influence of static pressure.

が低下したり、圧力による導通管の変形がセンサ部に影
響を及ぼし測定精度が低下するなどの問題がある。However, in the relative pressure type static pressure sensor, since the atmosphere outside the housing is introduced into the sensor portion, it is necessary to provide a conducting tube for connecting the sensor portion inside the housing and the outside. Therefore, the structure becomes complicated, reliability deteriorates when a high pressure of 100 atm or more is applied to a connecting portion between the conducting tube and the housing for a long time, and deformation of the conducting tube due to pressure affects the sensor unit, resulting in measurement accuracy. There are problems such as deterioration.

称して「測定圧力室」として呼ぶ。The central portion of the sensor substrate 10 is a thin portion 11, which is deformed according to the pressure difference between the low pressure chamber 5 and the high pressure chamber 5 ′ on both sides, that is, the pressure difference ΔP. A differential pressure detecting semiconductor gauge resistance group 111 for converting the deformation into an electric signal is formed by diffusion, and a thin film lead terminal 111a is further vapor-deposited. Further, a part of the outer fixed thick portion 12 of the sensor substrate 10 is processed into a concave shape from the fixed side as shown in the figure to form a thin portion 13, and a static pressure (absolute pressure) is detected on the upper surface of the thin portion 13. A semiconductor gauge resistor 131 for use is formed by diffusion, and a thin film lead terminal 131a is further vapor-deposited. In this case, the space 132
Is an outer fixed thick wall portion 12, a central thick wall portion 12 ', and a thin wall portion 13.
And a part of the housing are sealed, and air of vacuum or atmospheric pressure is enclosed to form a reference pressure chamber smaller than the low pressure chamber. Since the filled liquid is prevented from entering the inside, the gauge resistance 131 has the pressure of the filled liquid in the high-pressure chamber 5'corresponding to the reference pressure of the reference pressure chamber (since ΔP << P, P≈P + ΔP). ) Will be measured. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the cross section of the sensor substrate 10 is E as a whole.
Since the thin-walled portion 11 and the thin-walled portion 13 are formed by etching in agreement, the thicknesses of these portions are substantially equal. By making the thicknesses of both thin portions equal, mass-production processing becomes easy, the sensor can be downsized, and it is useful for forming the reference pressure chamber 132 into a small sealed chamber as described above. Therefore, a static pressure sensor having excellent static pressure detection characteristics is constructed. Also, another portion of the outer fixed thick portion 12 ″ of the sensor substrate 10 is processed from the outer periphery as shown in the drawing to form a thin portion 14
Is formed, the temperature detecting semiconductor gauge resistor 141 is formed on the upper surface of the thin portion 14 by diffusion, and the thin film lead terminal 141a is vapor-deposited. The thin portion 14 is provided to reduce the heat capacity and to prevent the housing 2 from being affected by the deformation of the housing 2 due to the static pressure.
Is communicated with the high pressure chamber 5 ', the thin-walled portion 14 will not be bent and deformed by the static pressure P and the differential pressure ΔP. 5 '
The same effect can be obtained by using the low pressure chamber and the high pressure chamber. Collectively referred to as "measurement pressure chamber".

いようになるので、温度検出用半導体ゲージ抵抗141
は、このようにして形成してある。When a gauge resistance is formed by diffusing boron, which is a p-type impurity, into a silicon single crystal plate having a (100) plane, the gauge resistance is set along the <100> axis where the piezoresistance coefficient is almost zero. By arranging them, when slight deformations are transmitted, they do not appear as an electric signal, so that the semiconductor gauge resistor 141 for temperature detection is used.
Are formed in this way.
