PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the cost and convenience of a sensor element for spectroscopic or optical measurement and a method for manufacturing the same. SOLUTION: A sensor element for spectroscopic/optical measurement includes: a sensor chip 2 having a measuring device 3 for sensing a beam 10; a cap chip 6 fixed to a sensor chip via a vacuum-sealing connector 5; a free space 7 formed between the cap chip and the measuring device and sealed with the connector 5; and a Fresnel zone structure 12 that focuses the incident beam 10 on the measuring device. A Fresnel lens is not realized as a three-dimensional structure on an upper surface of the chip but realized inside of the cap chip. That is, the Fresnel zone structure is formed inside of the cap chip. Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to realize a Fresnel lens, integrated on a cap wafer, which has a flat surface. It is possible to avoid a Fresnel lens taking the form of a three-dimensional structure and to realize the Fresnel lens in a cap wafer or a cap chip. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of forming a thermal sensor, including patterning an active layer on a first face of a handle substrate to form a frame, a mass carrying at least one thermally isolated MOS (TMOS) transistor, and a spring structure connecting the mass to the frame while thermally isolating the mass from the frame. The frame is then bonded to pads on a first face of an integrated circuit substrate. The handle substrate is removed, and a top cap is bonded to the first face of the integrated circuit substrate to enclose at least the mass and spring within the sealed cavity.
