Abstract:
Two different switches with two different signal input schemes are fabricated by mounting the same semiconductor chip on the same lead pattern. Two of the leads of the lead pattern provides space enough for wire-bonding connection to corresponding electrode pads on the semiconductor chip at both ends of the semiconductor chip. Because each of electrode pads can be connected to the corresponding lead at either end of the semiconductor chip, two sets of bonding wire connection between the leads and the electrode pads provides two different switches with two different signal inputs scheme.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing individual semiconductor devices by forming island sections 26 on the surface of a common substrate 21, forming electrodes 27 and 28 one on either side of each island section 26, die bonding a semiconductor chip 29 to each island section 26, and wire bonding the electrodes 27 and 28 to the semiconductor chip 29. A single common cover 36 is fixed over the entire surface of the common substrate 21 to form a hermetically sealed hollow space over each chip mounting section 41. The cover 36 and substrate 21 are separated at each mounting section 41 to form individual semiconductor devices.

Abstract:
A capacitive pressure sensor includes first and second substrates, a groove, and first and second electrodes. The first substrate consists of an electrical insulating material. The second substrate consists of the same material as that for the first substrate and has a peripheral portion directly bonded to the first substrate. The groove is formed in a central portion of the surface of one of the first and second substrates. The first and second substrates oppose each other through the groove. The first electrode is coupled to a surface, of the first substrate, which opposes the second substrate so as to be movable together with the first substrate. The second electrode is arranged on a surface, of the second substrate, which opposes the first substrate so as to be parallel to the first electrode. The first and second substrate may consist of quartz glass or sapphire. The first and second substrates are bonded to each other at a temperature lower than the melting point of the substrate material without forming any bonding layer.
