Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A MICROMECHANICAL SENSOR UNIT FOR DETECTING ACCELERATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1995/027214
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A micromechanical sensor unit for detecting acceleration having a pendulum with a spiral spring (B) fitted on a substrate (CH) via a support (E) and oscillating parallel to the substrate surface, and having at least one electrically conductive stop arranged on the substrate (CH) beside the pendulum as a position sensor (S), is produced in the following steps: the substrate is coated in succession with a soluble intermediate layer (P1), an electrically conductive layer (P2) and a photo-resist layer (P3). Photo-lithographic negative forms of the pendulum (Gm1), the stop (Gm2) and the support (Gm3) are made in the photo-resist layer (P3) by dissolving photo-resist material out as far as the electrically conductive layer (P2) and then filled with metal. Finally the intermediate layer (P1) beneath the pendulum and further photo-resist material immediately beside the pendulum and the stop are dissolved away.
