Abstract:
Method for manufacturing a micro-electro-mechanical system, MEMS, (50) integrating a first MEMS device (51) and a second MEMS device (52). The first MEMS device is a capacitive pressure sensor and the second MEMS device is an inertial sensor. The steps of manufacturing the first and second MEMS devices are, at least partly, shared with each other, resulting in a high degree of integration on a single die, and allowing to implement a manufacturing process with high yield and controlled costs.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a combined microelectromechanical device (30) provides for: forming, in a die (1) of semiconductor material, at least a first (2a) and a second (2b) microelectromechanical structures; performing a first bonding phase to bond a cap (10) to the die (1) by means of a bonding region (14), to define at least a first (20a) and a second (20b) cavity at the first and, respectively, second microelectromechanical structures, the cavities being at a controlled pressure having a first value; forming an access channel (22) through the cap in fluidic communication with the first cavity to control the pressure value inside the first cavity in a distinct manner with respect to a respective pressure value inside the second cavity; performing a second bonding phase, after which the bonding region deforms to hermetically close the first cavity with respect to the access channel.
Abstract:
Process for manufacturing a MEMS device (30), wherein a first structural layer (41) of a first thickness is formed on a substrate (31); first trenches (58) are formed through the first structural layer (41); masking regions (60') separated by first openings (62) are formed on the first structural layer; a second structural layer (42) of a second thickness is formed on the first structural layer (41) in direct contact with the first structural layer (41) at the first openings (62) and forms here, together with the first structural layer, thick structural regions (64) having a third thickness equal to the sum of the first and the second thicknesses; a plurality of second trenches (67) are formed through the second structural layer (42), over the masking regions (60'); and third trenches (68) are formed through the first and the second structural layers (41, 42) by removing selective portions of the thick structural regions (64) .
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a Coriolis-force-based flow sensing device (1), comprising the steps of: forming a driving electrode (6b; 6c); forming, on the driving electrode (6b; 6c), a first sacrificial region (21); forming, on the first sacrificial region, a first structural portion with a second sacrificial region (28) buried therein; forming openings for selectively etching the second sacrificial region (28); forming, within the openings, a porous layer (34) having pores; removing the second sacrificial region (28) through the pores of the porous layer, forming a buried channel (4); growing, on the porous layer and not within the buried channel, a second structural portion that forms, with the first structural region, a structural body (5); selectively removing the first sacrificial region (21) thus suspending the structural body on the driving electrode.
Abstract:
Device formed by a first die (210) and a second die (221). The first die is of semiconductor and integrates electronic components (202). The second die has a main surface (210A), forms patterned structures (230) and is bonded to the first die. Internal electrical coupling structures (242) electrically couple the main surface (210A) of the first die (210) to the second die (221). External connection regions (241) extend on the main surface of the first die (210). A package (246) embeds the first die (210), the second die (221) and the internal electrical coupling structures (242) and partially surrounds the external connection regions (241), the external connection regions partially protruding from the package. The second die (221) has through recesses (207, 208) accommodating external connection regions
