- the first impurity region and the second impurity region are electrically connected in parallel between the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion.
- An optical scanning device includes a reflector having a reflective surface, a support arranged at a distance from the reflector, a drive beam connecting the reflector and the support, and the support, and a drive section for twisting and driving the reflector around the drive beam.
- the driving portion includes a first conductive portion disposed on the reflector, a second conductive portion disposed on the support, and at least a driving beam disposed between the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion.
- the driving beam includes a first insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, and a second insulating layer which are stacked in this order, a first impurity region formed at the interface between the first insulating layer and the semiconductor layer, and a semiconductor layer and the second insulating layer. and a second impurity region formed at the interface with the layer.
- the first impurity region and the second impurity region constitute at least part of the wiring portion, and are electrically connected in parallel between the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion.
- a method for manufacturing a MEMS device includes a first insulating layer, an active layer, a second insulating layer, and a support layer which are laminated in this order, an interface between the first insulating layer and the active layer, an active layer and the second insulating layer, and layer or the interface between the second insulating layer and the support layer, and is spaced apart in the stacking direction of the first insulating layer, the active layer, the second insulating layer, and the support layer.
- the step of preparing an SOI substrate includes: forming a second impurity region on the first surface of the active layer; 3. forming an insulating film; and bonding the active layer and the supporting layer with the insulating film interposed therebetween.
- the present invention it is possible to provide a MEMS element, an optical scanning device, and a distance measuring device having wiring with a low sheet resistance value while suppressing changes in physical properties.

次に、光走査装置1の製造方法の一例を説明する。図4に示されるように、まず、第1シリコン基板11および第2シリコン基板12を準備する。
次に、図14に示されるように、領域81の第4絶縁層36上に、反射膜45を形成する。具体的には、反射膜45を構成する材料を第4絶縁層36上に成膜する。次に、ドライエッチングプロセスまたはウエットエッチングプロセスによって反射膜45を構成する材料から成る膜をパターニングし、反射膜45を形成する。
駆動梁上に導電層が形成されている光走査装置において、反射体が比較的広い振れ角で駆動された場合、導電層には比較的大きな応力が印加されるため、導電層の物性が変化(劣化)しやすい。特に、反射体が比較的広い振れ角で連続駆動される場合、導電層内にストレスマイグレーションによるボイド(欠陥)が形成される。
実施の形態1に係る光走査装置1では、第1不純物領域16が第1半導体層31と第1絶縁層34との界面に形成されており、第2不純物領域17が第1半導体層31と第2絶縁層32との界面に形成されているが、これに限られるものではない。第1不純物領域16は、第1絶縁層34と第1半導体層31との界面、第1半導体層31と第2絶縁層32との界面、および第2絶縁層32と第2半導体層33との界面のいずれかに形成されていればよい。第2不純物領域17は、第1絶縁層34と第1半導体層31との界面、第1半導体層31と第2絶縁層32との界面、および第2絶縁層32と第2半導体層33との界面のうち、第1不純物領域16が形成されている界面を除くいずれかに形成されていればよい。

レンズ123は、光源103から出射された光115の配光を変える。配光とは、光源から各方向に出射される光の空間的分布をいう。レンズ123は、測距装置101から出射される出射光121が平行光となるように配光を変える。レンズ123は、たとえば、凸レンズ、シリンドリカルレンズまたはトロイダルレンズ等である。レンズ123としては、2枚以上の複数枚のレンズを用いてもよい。なお、測距装置101から出射光121が平行光として出射されるのであれば、レンズ123は省いてもよい。
ミラー105は、実施の形態1または2に係る光走査装置1,10の反射体2,62の反射面45a(図1,17参照)である。ミラー105は、光源103から出射され、レンズ123を透過した光115を反射する。ミラー105で反射された光115は、出射光121として、測距装置101から出射される。
出射光121は、測距装置101から出射されるレーザ光である。出射光121には、複数の光源103から出射されてミラー105で反射した光115を含む。出射光121は、平行光とされる。出射光121のビームが最も絞られたビームウエストは、たとえば、60m先に設定される。出射光121は、パルス光である。パルス幅は、たとえば、1ns~10nsである。出射光121は、対象物119に照射される。
反射光125は、出射光121が対象物119に照射されて、対象物119において反射した光のうち、対象物119から測距装置101へ向かって進む光(成分)である。
受光部107は、光を検知する。受光部107は、たとえば、光を検出する受光素子を備えている。受光素子は、たとえば、フォトダイオードまたはアバランシェフォトダイオード等である。受光部107では、対象物119から測距装置101へ向かって進み、ミラー105およびミラー127において反射した反射光125が検知される。
ミラー127は、ミラー105において反射された反射光125を受光部107へ向けて反射する。ミラー127は、光源103から出射された光115が通過するように、たとえば、中心に貫通穴が形成された態様のミラーが望ましい。また、ミラー127として、光源103から出射された光115の光路から外れた位置に配置した1枚または複数枚のミラーでもよい。さらに、ミラー127として、照射された光の一部を透過し、一部を反射する、ハーフミラーまたはビームスプリッターでもよい。また、ミラー127として、集光機能を備えていてもよい。
制御部109は、光源103、ミラー105、受光部107を含む測距装置101の動作を制御する。制御部109は、光源103から出射する、たとえば、パルス状の光115の出射タイミングを制御するとともに、その出射タイミングを検知する。制御部109は、ミラー105の駆動を制御するとともに、ミラー105の傾き角度および法線の角度を検知する。制御部109は、受光部107の受光状況を検知する。
筐体111は、測距装置101の光学系を収容した外装箱である。筐体111の内部には、複数の光源103、ミラー105および受光部107等を含む光学系が収容されている。筐体111は、遮光性を有している。筐体111の内側は、迷光を吸収するために黒色であることが望ましい。筐体111には、出射光121と反射光125とが通り抜ける窓113が設けられている。
窓113は開口であり、出射光121は窓113から対象物119へ向けて出射される。反射光125は窓113から筐体111内に入射する。窓113は、筐体111の外部からの光を遮蔽することが望ましい。窓113には、透過させる光の波長に対応した波長特性を有する窓材が装着されている。窓材として、光115を透過する波長特性を有する窓材が装着されている。
次に、測距装置101の動作の一例について説明する。図34に示すように、光源103から出射した光115は、レンズ123において配光が変更される。レンズ123を透過した光115は、たとえば、平行光になる。平行光となった光115は、ミラー127を透過するか、ミラー127に設けられた貫通穴(図示せず)を通り抜けて、ミラー105において反射される。
