[0008] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below do not unduly limit the content of the present invention as defined in the claims. Furthermore, not all of the configurations described below are necessarily essential components of the present invention.

[0009] 1. First embodiment 1.1. Inertial Measurement Unit First, the inertial measurement unit according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram schematically showing an inertial measurement unit 100 according to the first embodiment.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 1, the inertial measurement device 100 includes, for example, a substrate 10, a terminal 16, a cap 30, a first inertial sensor module 40, a second inertial sensor module 50, a semiconductor element 60, and an electronic component 62.

[0011] The substrate 10 includes a first substrate 12 and a second substrate 14. The first substrate 12 is a ceramic substrate made of, for example, aluminum oxide. The first substrate 12 may be configured by laminating multiple ceramic layers, or may be configured by a single ceramic layer.

[0012] The second substrate 14 is provided on the first substrate 12. The second substrate 14 is provided between the first substrate 12 and the first inertial sensor module 40. The second substrate 14 is joined to the first substrate 12 by, for example, solder. When viewed from the direction of a perpendicular line P to the top surface of the first substrate 12, the area of ​​the second substrate 14 is smaller than the area of ​​the first substrate 12. The second substrate 14 includes a plate-shaped member 15. The plate-shaped member 15 is, for example, a ceramic substrate made of aluminum oxide or the like. The plate-shaped member 15 may be configured by stacking multiple ceramic layers or by a single ceramic layer. The second substrate 14 may also have a recess, in which case the second substrate 14 may be configured by stacking multiple ceramic layers.

[0013] The terminals 16 are provided below the first substrate 12. The terminals 16 protrude from the first substrate 12. A plurality of terminals 16 are provided. The number of terminals 16 is not particularly limited. The material of the terminals 16 is a metal such as copper, aluminum, or gold. The inertial measurement unit 100 can be mounted on an external member (not shown) using the terminals 16.

[0014] The second substrate 14 includes a terminal electrode 20. The terminal electrode 20 penetrates the plate-shaped member 15 in the direction of the perpendicular line P. Specifically, a through hole is provided in the plate-shaped member 15, and the terminal electrode 20 is provided in the through hole. A plurality of terminal electrodes 20 are provided. The number of terminal electrodes 20 is not particularly limited. The material of the terminal electrode 20 is a metal such as silver, silver-palladium, platinum-silver, or copper.

[0015] The cap 30 is a sealing member in the claims. The cap 30 is provided on the substrate 10. In the illustrated example, the cap 30 is provided on the second substrate 14. The cap 30 is joined to the second substrate 14, for example, by soldering. The cap 30 has a case-like shape with an open bottom. The material of the cap 30 is, for example, a metal such as aluminum or stainless steel. The cap 30 is formed, for example, by press-molding a metal material. Furthermore, if the second substrate 14 has a recess, the cap 30 may be a flat plate. In other words, the cap 30 does not have to have a recess.

[0016] The cap 30, together with the substrate 10, hermetically seals the first inertial sensor module 40. In the illustrated example, the first inertial module is housed in a space 32 between the substrate 10 and the cap 30. Specifically, the space 32 surrounded by the second substrate 14 and the cap 30 is hermetically sealed, and the first inertial sensor module 40 is located in the space 32. The cap 30 seals the first inertial sensor module 40 while maintaining the airtightness of the space 32.

[0017] The first inertial sensor module 40 is provided on the substrate 10. In the illustrated example, the first inertial sensor module 40 is provided on the second substrate 14. The first inertial sensor module 40 is joined to the second substrate 14 by, for example, soldering. The first inertial sensor module 40 is located inside the cap 30.

[0018] The first inertial sensor module 40 has a first inertial sensor 42. The first inertial sensor 42 may be an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration, or a gyro sensor that detects angular velocity. The first inertial sensor module 40 may be a 6DoF (Six-degrees of freedom) sensor. In this case, the first inertial sensor module 40 has a plurality of inertial sensors (not shown) in addition to the first inertial sensor 42. This allows the first inertial sensor module 40 to detect acceleration and angular velocity using three mutually orthogonal axes as detection axes. The first inertial sensor 42 is, for example, a silicon MEMS (Micro Electric Mechanical Device).

[0019] The first inertial sensor module 40 has a first package 44. The first package 44 houses the first inertial sensor 42. The first package 44 forms the outer shape of the first inertial sensor module 40. The material of the first package 44 includes resin. Specifically, the material of the outside of the first package 44 is epoxy resin. The inside of the resin in the first package 44 may be an inorganic material such as glass or silicon.

[0020] For example, two first inertial sensor modules 40 are provided. By averaging the detection values ​​detected by the two first inertial sensor modules 40, it is possible to improve the detection accuracy of the inertial measurement device 100 compared to when only one first inertial sensor module 40 is provided. The number of first inertial sensor modules 40 is not particularly limited, and may be one, or three or more.

[0021] The second inertial sensor module 50 is provided on the substrate 10. In the illustrated example, the second inertial sensor module 50 is provided on the first substrate 12. The second inertial sensor module 50 is joined to the first substrate 12 by, for example, soldering. The second inertial sensor module 50 is located outside the cap 30. The second inertial sensor module 50 is spaced apart from the second substrate 14.

[0022] The second inertial sensor module 50 has a second inertial sensor 52. The detection accuracy of the second inertial sensor 52 is, for example, higher than the detection accuracy of the first inertial sensor 42. The second inertial sensor 52 is, for example, a quartz gyro sensor. The second inertial sensor 52 may be an acceleration sensor. Furthermore, the second inertial sensor module 50 may have a plurality of inertial sensors (not shown) in addition to the second inertial sensor 52.

[0023] The second inertial sensor module 50 has a second package 54. The second package 54 houses the second inertial sensor 52. The second package 54 forms the outer shape of the second inertial sensor module 50. The material of the exterior of the second package 54 is not resin. The material of the second package 54 is an inorganic material that is less permeable to moisture than resin. The material of the second package 54 is, for example, ceramic or metal.

[0024] The semiconductor element 60 is provided on the substrate 10. In the illustrated example, the semiconductor element 60 is provided on the first substrate 12. The semiconductor element 60 is joined to the first substrate 12 by, for example, solder. The semiconductor element 60 is located outside the cap 30. The semiconductor element 60 is separated from the second substrate 14. The semiconductor element 60 is configured to include an IC (Integrated Circuit).

[0025] The semiconductor element 60 drives the first inertial sensor 42. The semiconductor element 60 is electrically connected to the first inertial sensor 42, for example, via wiring (not shown) provided on the first substrate 12 and the terminal electrode 20. The semiconductor element 60 is electrically connected to the terminal 16, for example, via a via (not shown) that penetrates the first substrate 12. Furthermore, the semiconductor element 60 drives the second inertial sensor 52. The semiconductor element 60 is electrically connected to the second inertial sensor 52, for example, via wiring (not shown) provided on the first substrate 12.

[0026] The semiconductor element 60 does not have to be electrically connected to the second inertial sensor 52. In this case, the inertial measurement unit 100 includes a semiconductor element (not shown) that is electrically connected to the second inertial sensor 52.

[0027] The electronic component 62 is provided on the substrate 10. In the illustrated example, the electronic component 62 is provided on the first substrate 12. The electronic component 62 is joined to the first substrate 12 by, for example, solder. The electronic component 62 is located outside the cap 30. The number of electronic components 62 is not particularly limited. The electronic component 62 is electrically connected to the terminal 16, for example, through a via (not shown) that penetrates the first substrate 12. The electronic component 62 is electrically connected to the first inertial sensor 42, for example, through a wiring (not shown) provided on the first substrate 12. The electronic component 62 is, for example, a capacitor.

[0028] 1.2. Inertial Measurement Unit Manufacturing Method Next, a manufacturing method of the inertial measurement unit 100 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 2 and 3 are diagrams schematically showing the manufacturing process of the inertial measurement unit 100 according to the first embodiment.

[0029] 2, a second substrate 14 having terminal electrodes 20, a cap 30, and a first inertial sensor module 40 are prepared. Next, the first inertial sensor module 40 is bonded to the second substrate 14. Next, the cap 30 is bonded to the second substrate 14, and the first inertial sensor module 40 is hermetically sealed.

[0030] 3, a first substrate 12 provided with terminals 16, a second inertial sensor module 50, a semiconductor element 60, and an electronic component 62 are prepared. Next, a second substrate 14 provided with a cap 30 and a first inertial sensor module 40, the second inertial sensor module 50, the semiconductor element 60, and the electronic component 62 are bonded to the first substrate 12. Note that the order in which the second substrate 14, the second inertial sensor module 50, the semiconductor element 60, and the electronic component 62 are bonded is not particularly limited.

[0031] Through the above steps, the inertial measurement unit 100 shown in FIG. 1 can be manufactured.

[0032] 1.3. Effects In the inertial measurement device 100, the first inertial sensor module 40 is hermetically sealed by being housed in the space 32 between the substrate 10 and the cap 30 (sealing member). The second inertial sensor module 50 is provided outside the space 32 between the substrate 10 and the cap 30 (sealing member).

[0033] Therefore, in the inertial measurement unit 100, the possibility of moisture entering the first package 44, which is made of a resin-containing material, can be reduced compared to when the first inertial sensor module is not hermetically sealed. This makes it possible to prevent moisture from entering the first package 44, which would cause stress in the first package 44 to fluctuate and deform the first inertial sensor 42. Therefore, the first inertial sensor 42 can have good characteristics.

[0034] Furthermore, in the inertial measurement unit 100, the size of the cap 30 can be made smaller than when the second inertial sensor module is provided inside the cap, which allows the inertial measurement unit 100 to be manufactured at low cost.

[0035] In the inertial measurement unit 100, the substrate 10 includes a first substrate 12 and a second substrate 14 disposed between the first inertial sensor module 40 and the first substrate 12. The first inertial sensor module 40 is accommodated in a space 32 between the second substrate 14 and a cap 30 (sealing member), and the second inertial sensor module 50 is provided on the first substrate 12 and spaced apart from the second substrate 14. Therefore, in the inertial measurement unit 100, the first inertial sensor module 40 can be easily hermetically sealed by the second substrate 14 and the cap 30. For example, if the first inertial sensor module were hermetically sealed by the first substrate and the cap without the second substrate, wiring (not shown) electrically connected to the first inertial sensor would need to be routed between the first substrate and the cap, making hermetically sealing difficult. Furthermore, in the inertial measurement unit 100, the size of the second substrate 14 can be made smaller than when the second inertial sensor module is provided on the second substrate. This allows costs to be reduced.

[0036] The inertial measurement device 100 includes a semiconductor element 60 that drives the first inertial sensor 42, and the second substrate 14 includes a plate-like member 15 and terminal electrodes 20 that penetrate the plate-like member 15, and the semiconductor element 60 is electrically connected to the first inertial sensor 42 via the terminal electrodes 20. Therefore, in the inertial measurement device 100, the semiconductor element 60 and the first inertial sensor 42 can be electrically connected while the first inertial sensor module 40 is hermetically sealed.

[0037] In the inertial measurement unit 100, the material of the second package 54 is ceramic. Therefore, in the inertial measurement unit 100, the intrusion of moisture into the second inertial sensor 52 can be suppressed.

[0038] In the inertial measurement unit 100, the first inertial sensor module 40 uses three mutually orthogonal axes as detection axes, so the inertial measurement unit 100 can detect inertial quantities using the three mutually orthogonal axes as detection axes.

[0039] In the inertial measurement unit 100, the first inertial sensor module 40 detects acceleration and angular velocity. Therefore, the inertial measurement unit 100 can detect acceleration and angular velocity using three mutually orthogonal axes as detection axes.

[0040] In the inertial measurement device 100, the detection accuracy of the second inertial sensor 52 is higher than the detection accuracy of the first inertial sensor 42. Therefore, in the inertial measurement device 100, the second inertial sensor 52 can detect the inertial quantity with high accuracy.

[0041] 1.4. Variations Next, an inertial measurement unit according to a modification of the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 4 is a diagram schematically showing an inertial measurement unit 110 according to a modification of the first embodiment. In the following, in the inertial measurement unit 110 according to the modification of the first embodiment, components having the same functions as the components of the inertial measurement unit 100 described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 4, the inertial measurement unit 110 differs from the above-described inertial measurement unit 100 in that it includes a mold resin 70.

[0043] The mold resin 70 covers the first substrate 12, the second substrate 14, the cap 30, the second inertial sensor module 50, the semiconductor element 60, and the electronic components 62. In the illustrated example, the mold resin 70 covers the side and bottom surfaces of the first substrate 12. The terminals 16 protrude from the mold resin 70. The mold resin 70 is made of, for example, epoxy resin. The mold resin 70 is formed by, for example, spin coating or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition).

[0044] The inertial measurement unit 100 includes a mold resin 70 that covers the cap 30 and the second inertial sensor module 50. Therefore, the inertial measurement unit 100 can reduce external damage to the cap 30 and the second inertial sensor module 50. This can prevent the cap 30 and the second inertial sensor module 50 from being broken or falling off. Note that external damage can include contact with an external member (not shown).

[0045] 2. Second embodiment 2.1. Inertial Measurement Unit Next, an inertial measurement unit according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 5 is a diagram schematically showing an inertial measurement unit 200 according to the second embodiment. In the inertial measurement unit 200 according to the second embodiment, components having the same functions as those of the inertial measurement units 100 and 110 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0046] In the above-described inertial measurement device 100, the second substrate 14 and the cap 30 hermetically seal the first inertial sensor module 40, as shown in FIG.

[0047] 5, the inertial measurement unit 200 does not include a cap 30, and the first inertial sensor module 40 is hermetically sealed by being housed in a space 32 between the recess 18 of the substrate 12 and the third substrate 14. The third substrate 14 is a sealing member in the claims.

[0048] The substrate 12 has a recess 18. The recess 18 is provided on the upper surface of the substrate 12. In the illustrated example, the substrate 12 is composed of five ceramic layers 2. The recess 18 is formed by removing a portion of the third, fourth, and fifth ceramic layers 2 from the bottom out of the five ceramic layers 2. The ceramic layers 2 are, for example, aluminum oxide layers. The number of ceramic layers 2 is not particularly limited.

[0049] The second substrate 14 closes the recess 18. The space 32 in which the recess 18 is provided is hermetically sealed by the substrate 12 and the third substrate 14. The third substrate 14 has a first surface 14a and a second surface 14b facing in opposite directions. The third substrate 14 is bonded to the first substrate 12 with the first surface 14a facing toward the first substrate 12. In the illustrated example, the third substrate 14 is composed of three ceramic layers 4. The ceramic layers 4 are, for example, aluminum oxide layers. The number of ceramic layers 4 is not particularly limited.

[0050] The first inertial sensor module 40 is provided on the first surface 14a of the third substrate 14. In the illustrated example, only one first inertial sensor module 40 is provided. The first inertial sensor module 40 is located in the space 32. In the illustrated example, four electronic components 62 are provided. Two of the four electronic components 62 are provided on the first surface 14a of the second substrate 14 and are located in the space 32. The other two electronic components 62 are provided on the substrate 12 and are not located in the space 32.

[0051] The semiconductor element 60 is provided on the second surface 14b of the second substrate 14. The semiconductor element 60 is not located in the recess 18. Although not shown, the semiconductor element 60 may be provided on the substrate 12.

[0052] 2.2. Inertial Measurement Unit Manufacturing Method Next, a method for manufacturing the inertial measurement unit 200 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 6 and 7 are diagrams schematically showing the manufacturing process for the inertial measurement unit 200 according to the second embodiment.

[0053] 6, a third substrate 14 having terminal electrodes 20, a first inertial sensor module 40, and an electronic component 62 are prepared. Next, the first inertial sensor module 40 and the electronic component 62 are bonded to a first surface 14a of the third substrate 14. Next, a semiconductor element 60 is bonded to a second surface 14b of the third substrate 14. Note that the order in which the second inertial sensor module 50, the semiconductor element 60, and the electronic component 62 are bonded is not particularly limited.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 7 , a substrate 12 having a recess 18, a second inertial sensor module 50, a semiconductor element 60, and an electronic component 62 are prepared. Next, a third substrate 14 having a first inertial sensor module 40 and an electronic component 62, the second inertial sensor module 50, the semiconductor element 60, and the electronic component 62 are bonded to the substrate 12. The third substrate 14 is bonded with its first surface 14a facing the substrate 12, and the recess 18 is hermetically sealed. Note that the order in which the third substrate 14, the second inertial sensor module 50, the semiconductor element 60, and the electronic component 62 are bonded is not particularly limited.

[0055] Through the above steps, the inertial measurement unit 200 shown in FIG. 5 can be manufactured.

[0056] 2.3. Effects In the inertial measurement unit 200, the first inertial sensor module 40 is housed in the space 32 between the recess 18 of the substrate 12 and the third substrate 14, and is hermetically sealed.

[0057] Therefore, in the inertial measurement unit 200, similar to the inertial measurement unit 100, it is possible to reduce the possibility of moisture entering the first package 44, which is made of a resin-containing material. Furthermore, in the inertial measurement unit 200, the size of the third substrate 14 can be made smaller than when the second inertial sensor module is located in the space between the recess of the substrate and the third substrate. This allows the inertial measurement unit 200 to be manufactured at low cost.

[0058] 2.4. Variations Next, an inertial measurement unit according to a modification of the second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 8 is a diagram schematically showing an inertial measurement unit 210 according to a modification of the second embodiment. In the inertial measurement unit 210 according to the modification of the second embodiment, components having the same functions as the components of the inertial measurement units 100, 110, and 200 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 8, the inertial measurement unit 210 differs from the above-described inertial measurement unit 200 in that it includes a molding resin 70.

[0060] In the inertial measurement device 210 , the molding resin 70 covers the substrate 12 , the third substrate 14 , the terminal electrodes 20 , the second inertial sensor module 50 , the semiconductor element 60 , and the electronic components 62 .

[0061] As described above, the inertial measurement unit 210 includes the mold resin 70 that covers the substrate 12, the third substrate 14, and the second inertial sensor module 50. Therefore, in the inertial measurement unit 210, similar to the inertial measurement unit 110, external damage to the substrate 12, the third substrate 14, and the second inertial sensor module 50 can be reduced.

[0062] The above-described embodiment and modifications are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these. For example, the embodiments and modifications can be combined as appropriate.
