Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an electronic device, particularly an acceleration sensor, comprising providing a wafer (10) having first and second semiconductor layers (12, 16) with a buried oxide layer (14) therebetween and forming a semiconductor device (such as a detection circuit) on one side of the wafer (10) in the first semiconductor layer (16) and a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) device on the opposite side of the wafer (10) in the second semi-conductor layer (12).
