    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thin-film strain gauge and its manufacturing method by which temperature compensation can be realized easily, by allowing a thin film to be formed mainly of metallic chromium. SOLUTION: This device is provided with a substrate 1 having a flexibility on which an insulation film 11 is formed on one surface and a thin-film chromium thin film 2 having a constant value of gauge rate that is defined according to the change in resistance to specified strain, of which resistance varies against a strain caused by external force and which is formed mainly of metallic chromium and is formed on one surface side of the substrate 1 with the insulation film 11 in between, and it measures an external force based on the change in resistance of the film 2. In such a thin-film strain gauge, respective temperature coefficients of the resistance and gauge rate in the film 2 are reverse to each other in sign and their absolute values are approximately equal to each other.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pressure sensor capable of measuring high pressure and being easily manufactured and its manufacturing method. SOLUTION: After a lower electrode 3a is formed on a stainless metal substrate 1 via an insulating coat 2, a sacrifice layer 5 is formed and patterned into a predetermined form. And an upper electrode 3b is formed at a location approximately opposed to the lower electrode 3a. Then after the upper electrode 3b is protected by a protective coat 4, the sacrifice layer 5 is removed by etching. At this time, an air gap is formed between the lower electrode 3a and the upper electrode 3b by the removal of the sacrifice layer 5, and a capacitor is also formed because of the opposed arrangements. In addition, the upper electrode 3b is supported by the protective coat 4.

CONSTITUTION:An insulating film 12 which is composed of silicon nitride or the like is formed on one face of a silicon substrate 11, and a thin film which is composed of silicon nitride is formed on its opposite face. A chromium layer is etched on the film 12, a lower electrode 15 is formed, an amorphous silicon layer is etched on it, and a thin-film resistor 14 is formed. In addition, an upper electrode 15 is formed of chromium on the resistor 14. Then, a silicon oxide layer is etched on the resistor 14 and the electrode 15, an infrared absorption layer 17 is formed, an aluminum layer is etched on the electrode 15, and electrode terminals 16 are formed. At this time, in a detector in which an irregularity in resistance values of four elements (a) which form a bridge circuit is at + or -2% or higher after the resistance values of the detector elements (a) have been measured, a part of the upper electrode film is cut by a laser, the opposite area between the upper and lower electrodes is adjusted, the irregularity is eliminated, and the respective resistance values are made uniform.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a low-noise infrared detector. CONSTITUTION:In an infrared detector, at least one detector element 8 which is provided with a thin-film infrared detection layer 1, with low-resistance layers 4, 5 which are formed at the upper part and the lower part of the thin-film infrared detection layer 1 and with a lower electrode 2 and an upper electrode 3 which are formed so as to be a pair at the upper part and the lower part of the low-resistance layers 4, 5 is formed. In the infrared detector, the peripheral part of the low-resistance layer 5 is removed. Since a leakage current which is generated at the edge of the element 8 due to foreign particles which adhere to the element 8 can be reduced, a noise can be reduced.
