본 논문에서는 THAH/IPA/pyrazine 용액에서의 전기화학적 식각정지특성을 기술한다. THAH/IPA/pyrazine 용액에서의 n-형과 p-형의 Si에 대한 I-V 곡선이 얻어졌다. p-형 Si에 대한 OCP(개방회로전압)과 PP(보호막생성 전압)은 각각 -1.2 V와 0.1 V이고, n-형에 대해서는 -1.3 V와 -0.2 V로 각각 나타났다. p-형과 n-형 Si 모두 PP점보다 양의 전압에서 식각율이 급속히 감소하였다. 또한 THAH/IPA/pyrazine 용액에서의 식각정지특성을 관찰하였다. pn 접합부에서의 정확한 식각정지에 의해서 epi. 층의 두께에 상응하는 Si 다이어프램을 제작할 수 있었다. 최적 이방성 식각조건인 TMAH 25 wt.%/IPA 17 vol.%/pyrazine 0.1g/100ml에서 식각률이 가장 높기 때문에 식각소요시간이 크게 감소하였다.

Using the anisotropic etching characteristics of N2H4-H2O solutions, Si diaphragm was fabricated for the integrated sensors. The optimal composition and temperature of the etching solution in (100) Si etching process was established to be 50mol% N2H4 in H2O at 105\ulcorner\ulcorner for both higher etch rate (=2.6\ulcorner/min) and better surface quality of etched (100) planes. Based on the above optimal etching condition, the electrochemical etch-stop technique was employed to form n-type Si diaphragm having a thickness of 20\ulcorner and the thickness of diapragm could exactly be controlled to 20\ulcorner\ulcorner.

Using the anisotropic etching characteristics or $N_2H_4-H_2O$ solution, Si diaphragm was fabricated for the integrated sensor. The optimal composition and temperature of the solution in Si etching process was established to be 50mol% $N_2H_4$ in water at $105{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for both higher etch rate(=$2.6{\mu}m/min$) and better surface quality of etched {100} planes. Under the optimal etching condition, the electrochemical etch stop technique was employed to form Si diaphragm for pressure sensor and diaphragm thickness was exactly controlled to $20{\pm}2{\mu}m$.

This paper reports on the fabrication process and characteristics of a ceramic thin-film pressure sensor based on Ta-N strain-gauges for harsh environment applications. The Ta-N thin-film strain-gauges are sputter-deposited on a thermally oxidized micromachined Si diaphragms with buried cavities for overpressure tolerance. The proposed device takes advantage of the good mechanical properties of single-crystalline Si as a diaphragm fabricated by SDB and electrochemical etch-stop technology, and in order to extend the temperature range, it has relatively higher resistance, stability and gauge factor of Ta-N thin-films more than other gauges. The fabricated pressure sensor presents a low temperature coefficient of resistance, high-sensitivity, low non-linearity and excellent temperature stability. The sensitivity is 1.21 ~ 1.097 mV/V.kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in temperature ranges of 25~ $200^{\circ}C$ and a maximum non-linearity is 0.43 %FS.

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of a metal thin-film pressure sensor based on Cr strain-gauges for harsh environment applications. The Cr thin-film strain-gauges are sputter-deposited onto a micromachined Si diaphragms with buried cavity for overpressure protectors. The proposed device takes advantages of the good mechanical properties of single-crystalline Si as diaphragms fabricated by SDB and electrochemical etch-stop technology, and in order to extend the operating temperature range, it incorporates relatively the high resistance, stability and gauge factor of Cr thin-films. The fabricated pressure sensor presents a low temperature coefficient of resistance, high-sensitivity, low non-linearity and excellent temperature stability. The sensitivity is 1.097~1.21 $mV/V{\cdot}kgf/cm^2$ in the temperature range of $25{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ and the maximum non-linearity is 0.43 %FS.

Silicon diaphragms, 10 and 20 \ulcorner-thick and 1x1 mm\ulcornerarea, have been fabricated by means of the electrochemical P-N junction etch-stop technique. The P-type diffused resistors were formed on the diaphragm, and the piezoresistance effect was examined. It was been found that the fractional variation of the resistance is dependent on the diaphragm thickness, resistor location, and resistor length, etc. The 1.2 k\ulcornerfull-brige pressure sensor with 10\ulcorner-thick diaphragm exhibits a pressure sensitivity of 42 \ulcorner/V\ulcornermHg with a temperature coefficient of 2.3 mmHg/\ulcorner, and shows a good linearity in the pressure range from 0 to 300 mmHg.

본 논문에서는 Ta-N 스트레인게이지를 이용한 극한 환경용 세라믹 박막형 압력센서의 제작 및 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 압력감지부로 Ta-N 스트레인게이지를 사용하였으며, SDB(Si-wafer Direct Bonding)와 전기화학적 식각정지법을 이용하여 매몰 cavity를 가지는 저가격 고수율의 Si 박막 다이어프램을 제작하였다. 또한, 실리콘 박막 다이어프램상에 박막형 스트레인게이지를 형성하여 세라믹 박막형 압력센서를 제작하였다. 제작된 세라믹 박막형 압력 센서는 기존의 스트레인 게이지를 이용한 로드셀에 비해서 온도특성이 우수하고 재현성, 소형화, 집적화 및 저가격화가 가능하기 때문에 고온, 고압 등의 각한 환경에서도 사용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
