Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR PRESSURE SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/052800
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is possible to provide a low-cost semiconductor pressure sensor of a simple
structure capable of easily controlling, for example, the thickness of its diaphragm
portion, and having a high yield, a low dependence on temperature, and a high sensitivity.
The semiconductor pressure sensor comprises a Schottky barrier diode (10) consisting
of a barrier film (1), an electrode film (2), and an n-type semiconductor substrate
(3), and a base (4). In the Schottky barrier diode (10), the barrier film (1) formed
of a metal is brought into contact with the n-type semiconductor substrate (3),
so that a depletion layer is formed in the contact area on the side of the n-type
semiconductor substrate (3) and a Schottky barrier is generated. This Schottky
junction portion is included in the diaphragm portion (5) in the n-type semiconductor
substrate (3) and functions as a pressure sensing area.
