Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing an integrated circuit having a substrate comprising a plurality of components and a metallization stack over said components, the metallization stack comprising a first sensing element (120) and a second sensing element (140) adjacent to the first sensing element, the method comprising depositing a moisture-impenetrable layer (150) over the metallization stack; depositing a passivation layer (510; 520) over the moisture-impenetrable layer; patterning the passivation layer and the underlying moisture-impenetrable layer such that a trench (600) is formed surrounding a region (810, 820) of the passivation layer over the first or second sensing element, the depth of said trench extending to a portion (310) of the metallization stack; depositing a layer of a further moisture-impenetrable material (700) over the resultant structure thereby filling said trench; patterning said further moisture-impenetrable material to expose a portion of the passivation layer in a region (810) above the first sensing element; and removing the exposed portion of the passivation layer to expose the first sensing element. A thus manufactured IC and article comprising such an IC are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a single crystal doped silicon microstructure comprising at least one functional element (2.1, 2.2) and placed in a substrate (1). Also disclosed is the method for producing said microstructure. According to the invention, the functional element (2.1, 2.2) is mechanically and electrically separated from the substrate on all sides by means of insulating gaps (5, 5a), and is connected in at least one position to a first structure (4a) of an electrically conductive layer (S) which is electrically insulated from the substrate (1) by means of an insulating layer (3). The functional element is thereby fixed in position in relation to the substrate (1) by means of said electrically conductive layer. The functional element is extracted from the substrate in such a way that the isolation gaps are present on all sides in relation to the substrate (1). The electrically conductive layer (S) is applied in such a way that it is connected to the functional element by means of contact fingers, fixing the functional element firmly in position.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a micromechanical component comprising a substrate (17) whereon is deposited a micromechanical functional layer (15) made of a first material. The invention is characterized in that the functional layer (15) includes first and second zones (15a, 15c) which are linked by a third zone (15b; 220a,b; 320a,b; 420a-d; 520; 520a-h) made of a second material (20). At least one of the zones (15a or 15b; 220a,b; 320a,b; 420a-d; 520; 520a-h or 15c) forms part of a mobile structure (32) which is suspended above the substrate (17). The invention also concerns a method for producing such a micromechanical component.
