Embodiment Construction

[0050] In FIG. 1 , a movable structure 1 made of monocrystalline silicon “floats” on four anchors 4 to which it is attached by means of suspension springs 5 ​​. A groove 2 is provided around the movable structure 1 , which groove ensures the mobility of said structure by separating the movable structure 1 from the substrate 12 . Detection holes 7 are also provided in single crystal silicon for release etching. In monocrystalline silicon, there are at least two protrusions 9, while a corresponding number of electrode protrusions 8 are arranged relative to them. Between the protrusion 9 and the electrode protrusion 8 of the monocrystalline silicon, a narrow gap 6 is etched, which is formed by a longitudinal groove 11 and a transverse groove 13 , and forms a gap in which the junction capacitance is formed by the protrusions 8 , 9 . The protrusions give the electrode structure a comb-like profile when viewed from above.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an acceleration sensor. In the method, thin SOI-wafer structures are used, in which grooves are etched, the walls of which are oxidized. A thick layer of electrode material, covering all other material, is grown on top of the structures, after which the surface is ground and polished chemo-mechanically, thin release holes are etched in the structure, structural patterns are formed, and finally etching using a hydrofluoric acid solution is performed to release the structures intended to move and to open a capacitive gap.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a method for obtaining narrow gaps in micromechanical components, in particular in micromechanical SOI-wafer structures, according to the preamble of claim 1 . [0002] The present invention also relates to the silicon micromechanical structure according to any one of claims 8-9, and the application of the silicon micromechanical structure according to any one of claims 20-21. Background technique [0003] According to prior art methods, silicon-micromechanical devices, such as acceleration sensors and other similar devices, are mainly manufactured by using SOI (silicon-on-insulator) wafer structures, on which grooves are etched, and the walls of the grooves are oxidized , and then the surface of the groove was made flat by fluorine-plasma etching.
