An integrated semiconductor device comprises, reciprocally superimposed, a thermally insulating region; a thermal conduction region of a high thermal conductivity material; a passivation oxide layer; and a gas sensitive element. The thermal conduction region defines a preferential path towards the gas sensitive element for the heat generated by the heater element, thereby the heat dispersed towards the substrate is negligible during the operation of the device.

摘要:
An acceleration sensor is described which is formed by planar technology on a substrate. It includes a core of ferromagnetic material and, coupled conductively together by the core, a first winding adapted to be connected to a power supply and a second winding adapted to be connected to circuit means for measuring an electrical magnitude induced therein. The core has two suspended portions which are free to bend as a result of an inertial force due to an accelerative movement of the sensor itself. The bending causes lengthening of the core and hence a variation in the reluctance of the magnetic circuit. If a constant current is supplied to the first winding, a voltage is induced in the second winding as a result of the variation in the magnetic flux caused by the variation in reluctance.

The electronic device is formed in a die including a body of semiconductor material having a first face covered by a covering structure and a second face. An integral thermal spreader of metal is grown galvanically on the second face during the manufacture of a wafer, prior to cutting into dice. The covering structure comprises a passivation region and a protective region of opaque polyimide; the protective region and the passivation region are opened above the contact pads for the passage of leads.

A method of producing suspended elements for electrical connection between two portions of a micro-mechanism that can move relative to one another provides for the formation of a layer of sacrificial material, the formation of the electrical connection elements on the layer of sacrificial material, and the selective removal of the layer of sacrificial material beneath the electrical connecting elements, the layer of sacrificial material being a thin film with at least one adhesive side that can be applied dry to the surface of the micro-mechanism.

To manufacture integrated semiconductor devices comprising chemoresistive gas microsensors, a semiconductor material body is first formed, on the semiconductor material body are successively formed, reciprocally superimposed, a sacrificial region of metallic material, formed at the same time and on the same level as metallic connection regions for the sensor, a heater element, electrically and physically separated from the sacrificial region and a gas sensitive element, electrically and physically separated from the heater element; openings are formed laterally with respect to the heater element and to the gas sensitive element, which extend as far as the sacrificial region and through which the sacrificial region is removed at the end of the manufacturing process.

A method for the electrical and/or mechanical interconnection of components of a microelectronic system includes at least one first component and at least one second component to be connected, and at least one local Joule-effect micro-heater is incorporated in one of the first and second components at a respective soldering point therebetween. The method includes supplying electrical energy to the micro-heater to utilize the heat produced therefrom by the Joule effect to solder the first and second components at the respective soldering point.

摘要:
A microactuator is attached to a first face of a coupling formed on a suspension, so that an R/W transducer projects from an opposite face. A hole in the coupling permits passage of an adhesive mass interposed between a rotor of the microactuator and the R/W transducer. A strip of adhesive material extends between a die accommodating the microactuator and the coupling, and externally surrounds the microactuator. The coupling acts as a protective shield for the microactuator, both mechanically and electrically. The coupling covers the microactuator at the front, and prevents foreign particles from blocking the microactuator. In addition, the coupling electrically insulates the R/W transducer, which is sensitive to magnetic fields, from regions of the microactuator biased to a high voltage. With the coupling, the strip forms a sealing structure, which in practice surrounds the microactuator on all sides.
