  • Publication number: 20220406670
    Abstract: A sensor package substrate disclosed in the present specification has a mounting area in which a sensor chip is mounted and a controller chip connected to the sensor chip. A through hole is formed in the sensor package substrate so as to overlap the mounting area in a plan view and to penetrate the substrate from one surface to the other surface thereof. The mounting area and the controller chip overlap each other in a plan view. According to the present invention, by reducing the thickness of an insulating layer, it is possible not only to reduce the distance of a wiring for the sensor chip and controller chip, but also to reduce the area of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11492696
    Abstract: A method of producing a semiconductor laminate film includes forming a semiconductor layer containing silicon and germanium on a silicon substrate by a sputtering method. In the sputtering method, a film formation temperature of the semiconductor layer is less than 500° C., and a film formation pressure of the semiconductor layer ranges from 1 mTorr to 11 mTorr, or, a film formation temperature of the semiconductor layer is less than 600° C., and a film formation pressure of the semiconductor layer is equal to or more than 2 mTorr and less than 5 mTorr. The sputtering method uses a sputtering gas having a volume ratio of a hydrogen gas of less than 0.1%, and the semiconductor layer satisfies a relationship of t?0.881×x?4.79, where t represents a thickness (nm) of the semiconductor layer, and x represents a ratio of the number of germanium atoms to a sum of the number of silicon atoms and the number of germanium atoms in the semiconductor layer.
