    Abstract: The optical two-dimensional position sensor (1) comprises a selective optical unit (9) which faces, and is displaceable relative to an integrated device (2). The selective optical unit (9) is formed by a polarised light source (4,5) and a filter with four quadrants (3) which permits passage of the light onto two quadrants only. The selective optical unit (9) is attached to a control lever (6) such as to translate in a plane along a first direction (X) and a second direction (Y), and to pivot around a third direction (W) which is orthogonal to the preceding directions. In a transparent package, the integrated device (2) comprises a first group of sensor elements (10 1 -10 3 ) which are spaced along the first direction (X), a second group of sensor elements (10 4 -10 7 ) which are spaced along the second direction (Y) and a third group of sensor elements (10 8 -10 9 ) which detect the angular position of the selective optical sensor. Electronics which is integrated with the sensor elements generates a code which is associated with each position which is assumed by the selective optical unit (9) and a control signal (S) which corresponds to the function required.

    Abstract: A manufacturing process of a semiconductor piezoresistive accelerometer (35) includes the steps of: providing a wafer (11) of semiconductor material; providing a membrane (23) in the wafer (11) over a cavity (22); rigidly coupling an inertial mass (25) to the membrane (23); and providing, in the wafer (11), piezoresistive transduction elements (24), that are sensitive to strains of the membrane (23) and generate corresponding electrical signals. The step of coupling is carried out by forming the inertial mass (25) on top of a surface of the membrane (23) opposite to the cavity (22). The accelerometer (35) is advantageously used in a device for monitoring the pressure (30) of a tyre of a vehicle. The cavity may be formed as a buried cavity. The mass may be formed by silk-screen printing of a metal paste.
