- the cap layer 100 In order to measure the displacement of the weight 2 in the third direction (z direction), a part of the cap layer 100 is formed as the through electrodes T3 and T4, which are used as the fixed electrodes C1B and C2B. Therefore, when the thermosetting resin 153 is pressure-molded, the capacitances of the detection electrodes C1 and C2 also change according to the deformation of the cap layer 100.
- the acceleration detecting element S2E uses a laminated structure of a plurality of different materials such as silicon as the support substrate 1a, silicon oxide as the intermediate insulating layer 1b, and metal materials such as aluminum as the pads E1, E3, and E4. It is made as. Therefore, it is easily conceivable that the capacitance of the detection electrodes C1 and C2 changes due to the deformation of the acceleration detection element S2E or the cap layer 100 due to a change in environmental temperature.

- thermosetting resin 153 In the case of a package employing the thermosetting resin 153, an internal stress is generated inside the resin during pressure molding, and this internal stress is relieved with time. The amount of deformation of 100 also changes over time. Furthermore, the volume of the thermosetting resin 153 increases or decreases according to the environmental humidity. That is, the deformation amount of the cap layer 100 changes depending on the environmental humidity. The zero point drift depending on these environmental and temporal factors cannot be electrically corrected.
- the initial and temporal fluctuations of the detection electrodes C1 and C2 are suppressed, and even when there is a fluctuation, the fluctuation amount is made the same between C1 and C2, so that It needs to be able to offset.

- a cap layer is formed by disposing the fixed portion 6 and the beam 5 near the center of the cavity CA (B line in FIG. 7) and disposing the through electrodes T1 and T2 along the rotation axis (B line) on the fixed portion 6. Even when a pressure is applied from the outside to 100, the amount of deformation is made as small as possible. Further, since the cap layer 100 has the step t, even if the cap layer 100 is deformed, the capacitance changes of the detection electrodes C1 and C2 are the same, so the influence of the deformation is offset by differential detection. can do.
- the cap layer 100 It can easily be considered to reduce the deformation amount of the cap layer 100 by increasing the thickness of the cap layer 100.

- the ratio of the width of the trench to the thickness of the cap layer 100 is 20 or less, so that mass production is possible. Therefore, increasing the thickness of the cap layer 100 has a limit from the viewpoint of mass productivity.
- the width of the trench is several ⁇ m, and the thickness of the cap layer 100 is 100 to 400 ⁇ m.
- Detecting electrodes C1 and C2 are arranged at equal intervals and the same capacity in the first direction (x direction) with the torsion beam 5 (B line) as the axis of symmetry. Further, the thickness of the cap layer 100 on the cavity CA2 side, which is short in the first direction from the rotation center (B line), is formed thinner than the thickness of the cap layer 100 on the opposite side of the cavity CA1. That is, adjustment is made so that the rigidity in the third direction of the fixed side electrodes C1B and C2B of the detection electrodes C1 and C2 is approximately the same. Therefore, even when the cap layer 100 is deformed by the application of pressure from the outside or a change in the surrounding environment, the capacitance fluctuations of the detection electrodes C1 and C2 are the same, and the influence can be offset by differential detection.

Furthermore, by providing the step t in the cap layer 100, it is possible to cancel the fluctuations in the capacitance of the detection electrodes C1 and C2 due to external pressure and environmental fluctuations, and to improve the stability of the zero point output of the sensor.
- the capacitance variation amounts of the detection electrodes C1 and C2 are made the same.
- the essence of Embodiment 1 is that the inflection point of the cap layer 100 coincides with the rotation center (B line).
- the essence of the second embodiment is to make the through electrodes T3 and T4 have the same rigidity. That is, by adjusting the rigidity of the through-electrodes T3 and T4 according to the sizes of the cavities CA1 and CA2, the amount of deformation caused by external pressure application or environmental fluctuation can be made the same.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the acceleration sensor according to the third embodiment.
- FIG. 9C is a plan view of the acceleration sensor according to the third embodiment, and shows a state where the cap layer 100 is peeled off as in FIG.

- the hole 10 is formed so as not to penetrate the cap layer 100 along the third direction (z direction) from the insulating film 101 side toward the weight 2.
- Other configurations are the same as those in the first and second embodiments.
- the inflection point of the cap layer 100 can be variously adjusted by adjusting the arrangement, size, pitch, and depth of the holes 10. Specifically, by forming more holes 10 on the left side of the rotation axis B than on the right side, the rigidity of the cap layer 100 on the left side of the rotation axis B can be made weaker than that on the right side. Further, by using the hole 10, unlike the case where the step t is provided, the thickness of the cap layer 100 can be kept constant. Therefore, the insulating layer 101 and the pads E3 and E4 arranged on the cap layer 100 can be formed by a simpler manufacturing method.
- a cylindrical hole 10 that does not penetrate the cap layer 100 is provided in the cap layer 100.
- a hole having a shape such as a square or a band (groove) is provided in the cap layer 100.
- the hole is not limited to a circular hole.

- FIG. 10A is a plan view of the cap layer 100
- FIG. 10B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line E-E 'of FIG.
- the groove 11 is formed on the bottom surface of the cap layer 100, that is, on the cavity CA side.
- the arrangement of the fixing portion 6 described in the second embodiment is assumed, but the groove 11 can be provided in the configuration described in the first embodiment.
- FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a result of analyzing the deformation state of the cap layer 100 by a finite element method.
- FIG. 11A shows an analysis result when there is no groove 11
- FIG. 11B shows an analysis result when the groove 11 is present.
- the displacement amounts of the through electrodes T3 and T4 in the third direction can be made substantially the same. Accordingly, since the capacitance changes ⁇ C1 and ⁇ C2 have the same value, the influence of deformation of the cap layer 100 can be offset by using differential detection.
- ⁇ Embodiment 3 Supplement about hole 10 and groove 11> All the depressions such as the hole 10 and the groove 11 for adjusting the inflection point and rigidity of the cap layer 100 are arranged so as not to straddle the insulating film 101 and the trench that separates the fixed-side electrodes C1B and C2B from the surrounding silicon. Has been.
- the first embodiment is performed in order to remove silicon of the cap layer 100 and silicon oxide constituting the insulating layer 101.
- a manufacturing step different from ⁇ 2 is required.
- SF6 is used as a reactive gas in order to remove silicon
- CHF3 is used as a reactive gas in order to remove a silicon oxide film, so that the manufacturing process becomes somewhat complicated.
- the depressions such as the holes 10 and the grooves 11 are formed so as not to cross the trench, only the silicon needs to be processed, so that the manufacturing process can be simplified.
- the depressions such as the holes 10 and the grooves 11 are formed in the cap layer 100 along the third direction from the outer side of the cap layer 100 (that is, the surface not facing the weight 2) toward the weight 2.
- the distance between the fixed side electrode C1B or C2B and the weight 2 is not affected by the presence of the depression. Therefore, in this case, as shown by the hole 10 in FIG. 9C, the position overlaps with the fixed side electrode C1B or C2B in the third direction (z direction) (FIG. 9C ) May be disposed in the inner part surrounded by a dotted line), or may be disposed in a position that does not overlap (an outer part not surrounded by the dotted line in FIG. 9C). Therefore, the inflection point and rigidity of the cap layer 100 can be adjusted extensively without affecting the capacitance of the detection electrodes C1 and C2.
- the cap layer 100 is formed along the third direction with the depressions such as the holes 10 and the grooves 11 from the inner side of the cap layer 100 (ie, the surface facing the weight 2) toward the opposite surface.
- the hole 10 or the groove 11 is located between the fixed side electrode C1B or C2B and the weight 2, so that the detection electrodes C1 and C2 and the weight depend on the positions of these depressions.
- the capacitance formed by 2 is affected. Therefore, in this case, it is desirable to arrange the depression at a position that does not overlap with the fixed side electrode C1B or C2B in the third direction (z direction).
- the degree of freedom for adjusting the inflection point and the rigidity of the cap layer 100 is reduced as compared with the case where the depression is formed from the outside to the inside of the cap layer 100.
- the pads E1, E3, E4, etc. on the depressions since it is not necessary to form the pads E1, E3, E4, etc. on the depressions, the formation and arrangement of the pads E1, E3, E4 and the routing of the wiring are facilitated.

- the step t, the hole 10 and the groove 11 are exemplified as means for adjusting the rigidity of the cap layer 100.
- the cap is formed on both sides of the rotation axis B. If the mass per unit area in the XY plane of the layer 100 can be configured to be different from each other, it is considered that the same effect can be exhibited.
- the step t, the hole 10, and the groove 11 are used to change the inflection point and rigidity of the cap layer 100, and the third direction of the fixed side electrodes T3 (C1B) and T4 (C2B). It was shown that the amount of displacement in can be adjusted. However, it is needless to say that these methods are not limited to those independent from each other, and can be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof.
- the recesses can be formed on the front or back of the cap layer 100 by combining the holes 10 and the grooves 11.
- the step t may be combined as necessary.

Abstract
Description
、一方は他方の一部または全部の変形例、詳細、補足説明等の関係にある。
、その繰り返しの説明は可能な限り省略するようにしている。なお、図面をわかりやすくするために平面図であってもハッチングを付す場合がある。以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
図1は、本発明の実施形態1に係る加速度センサS1の全体構成を示す模式図である。加速度センサS1は、加速度検出素子S1E、信号処理IC(Integrated Circuit)50、リードフレーム150、導電性ワイヤ152を備える。導電性ワイヤ152は、加速度検出素子S1E、信号処理IC50、リードフレーム150間を電気的に接続する。信号処理IC50と加速度検出素子S1Eは、接着剤151を介してそれぞれリードフレーム150と信号処理IC50上に固定される。
金をキャップ層100とデバイス層1cの間に塗布した後、熱処理することで硬化させる共晶接合法、(b)キャプ層100とデバイス層1cの表面をプラズマで活性化し、シリ
コン‐シリコンまたはシリコン‐シリコン酸化膜同士を直接接合する常温活性化接合法、(c)2つの表面を酸と純水の混合液で洗浄し、表面に水酸基を作った後、常温で水素結合させ、高温で加熱することにより、シリコン‐シリコンまたはシリコン‐シリコン酸化膜同士を直接接合する方法、などがある。
Θ=M/k 式2)
加速度センサS1は、低コスト化のため、熱硬化性樹脂153を加圧成形したパッケージを採用している。そのため、加速度検出素子S1Eは、熱硬化性樹脂153を加圧成形する際に発生する圧力を受けることになる。そのため加速度センサS1の出荷時において0点ドリフトが生じ得る。さらに、パッケージの形成時に熱硬化性樹脂153の内部に発生する内部応力は、環境温度や湿度の変化によって経時的に緩和するなどして変動する。そのため加速度センサS1を出荷した後においても0点ドリフトが生じ得る。
、C2Bの第3方向(z方向)における変位量は、互いに同じ値となる。したがって、検出電極C1、C2の容量変化ΔC1、ΔC2も同じ値となり、これらの変動分は差動検出によって相殺されるため、センサ出力は本来の期待通りの値となる。
樹脂153の内部の応力が経時的に緩和されて静電容量変化ΔC1、ΔC2が変動する場合、(b)硬化性樹脂153が環境から水分を吸って膨張することにより静電容量変化Δ
C1、ΔC2が変動する場合、(c)リードフレーム150を特定の基板上に半田付けな
どで拘束する際に発生する実装応力やひずみ、またこれらの経時的な変動によって静電容量変化ΔC1、ΔC2が変動する場合、などにおいても、加速度センサS1の出力ドリフト(変動)を抑制することができる。
以上のように、本実施形態1に係る加速度センサS1において、キャップ層100の固定側電極C1Bに対応する部分と固定側電極C2Bに対応する部分は互いに異なる厚さを有する。具体的には、錘2の回転中心Bを中心として軽い側に配置されている固定側電極C1Bに対応する部分は、重い側に配置されている固定側電極C2Bに対応する部分よりも薄く形成されている。これにより、熱硬化性樹脂153を加圧成形する際に発生する各検出電極C1、C2の変位量を同じくすることができる。この変位量は差動検出によって相殺できるため、加速度センサS1の初期0点および、環境温度、湿度、熱硬化性樹脂153の内部応力の緩和などに依存する経時的な0点の変動を抑制することができる。
図7は、本発明の実施形態2に係る加速度センサS2の主要な構成要素を示す平面図である。図7は図2と同様に、キャップ層100を剥がした状態を示している。以下では実施形態1の加速度センサS1について説明した内容と重複する部分は省いて、変更・追加された部分を重点的に説明する。
置し、(構成b)回転軸に沿って複数個のポスト(貫通電極T1、T2)を固定部6上に
配置し、(構成c)検出電極C1、C2は、ねじれ梁5(回転軸:Bライン)を対称軸と
して第1方向(x方向)に等間隔および同じ容量になるように配置し、(構成d)キャッ
プ層100は段差tを有し、キャップ層100が変形した場合でも、検出電極C1、C2の容量変化が同じになるように構成している。これら(構成a)~(構成d)の効果について以下に説明する。
以上のように、本実施形態2に係る加速度センサS2は、錘2に電気信号を印加するために設置した貫通電極T1、T2を、キャップ層100を支えるポストとしても活用することにより、キャップ層100の変形を低減することができる。さらに、キャップ層100に段差tを設けることにより、外部からの圧力や環境変動による検出電極C1、C2の容量の変動を相殺し、センサの0点出力の安定性を向上させることができる。
形態1~2と同様の効果を発揮することができる。具体例については以下の実施形態3で説明する。
本発明の実施形態3では、キャップ層100の変曲点および固定側電極C1B、C2Bの剛性を調整する方法として、実施形態1~2で説明した構成とは異なる手法について説明する。
。その結果は加速度センサの出力として現れ、加速度が印加されていない状態でも何らかの信号が出力されることになり、期待する0点の値を得ることができない。
キャップ層100の変曲点および剛性を調整するための孔10や溝11などの窪みは全て、固定側電極C1B、C2Bを周辺のシリコンから分離するトレンチと絶縁膜101を跨らないように配置されている。
)の点線によって囲まれた内側部分)に窪みを配置してもよいし、重ならない位置(図9(c)の点線によって囲まれていない外側部分)に配置してもよい。そのため、検出電極C1、C2の容量に影響を与えることなく、キャップ層100の変曲点および剛性を広範に調整することができる。
本発明は上記した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、様々な変形例が含まれる。上記実施形態は本発明を分かりやすく説明するために詳細に説明したものであり、必ずしも説明した全ての構成を備えるものに限定されるものではない。例えば、上記実施形態においてはキャップ層100の剛性を調整する手段として、段差t、孔10、溝11を例示したが、これら以外の構造を用いる場合であっても、回転軸Bの両側においてキャップ層100のXY面内における単位面積当たりの質量を互いに異なるように構成することができれば、同様の効果を発揮することができると考えられる。
における変位量を調整することができることを示した。しかし、これらの方法は互いに独立したものに限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々変更可能であることはいうまでもない。例えば、孔10と溝11を組み合わせてキャップ層100の表または裏にこれら窪みを形成することもできる。さらに、必要に応じて段差tを組み合わせてもよい。
