T. Sasayama et al., HIGHLY RELIABLE SILICON MICROMACHINED PHYSICAL SENSORS IS MASS-PRODUCTION, Sensors and actuators. A, Physical, 54(1-3), 1996, pp. 714-717
Silicon micromachined physical sensors such as silicon pressure sensor
s and accelerometers are now in mass production in response to the str
ong market demands. In the design of such sensors, it is most importan
t to guarantee high reliability as well as low cost. To respond to the
se demands for microsensors, the designs of device structure, producti
on processes and packaging have been investigated in detail.
