Abstract:
A single silicon wafer micromachined thermal conduction sensor is described. The sensor consists of a heat transfer cavity with a flat bottom and an arbitrary plane shape, which is created in a silicon substrate. A heated resistor with a temperature dependence resistance is deposed on a thin film bridge, which is the top of the cavity. A heat sink is the flat bottom of the cavity and parallel to the bridge completely. The heat transfer from the heated resistor to the heat sink is modulated by the change of the thermal conductivity of the gas or gas mixture filled in the cavity. This change can be measured to determine the composition concentration of the gas mixture or the pressure of the air in a vacuum system.

Abstract:
The invention provides an electronic device package and fabrication method thereof. The electronic device package includes a sensor chip. An upper surface of the sensor chip comprises a sensing film. A covering plate having an opening structure covers the upper surface of the sensor chip. A cavity is between the covering plate and the sensor chip, corresponding to a position of the sensing film, where the cavity communicates with the opening structure. A spacer is between the covering plate and the sensor chip, surrounding the cavity. A pressure releasing region is between the spacer and the sensing film.

Abstract:
Method for making at least one first suspended part of a microelectronic or nanoelectronic structure from a monolithic part of a first substrate, the method comprising the following steps: make a first etching with a first given depth in the monolithic substrate to define the suspended part, deposit a protective layer on at least the side edges of the first etching, make a second etching with a second depth in the first etching, make a physicochemical treatment of at least part of the zone located under the suspended structure so as to modify it, and release the suspended part by removal of the physicochemically treated part.
Abstract:
A bonded device having at least one porosified surface is disclosed. The porosification process introduces nanoporous holes into the microstructure of the bonding surfaces of the devices. The material property of a porosified material is softer as compared to a non-porosified material. For the same bonding conditions, the use of the porosified bonding surfaces enhances the bond strength of the bonded interface as compared to the non-porosified material.
