Publication number: 20230341311Abstract: The application relates to a semiconductor device for particle measurement having a cavity housing and a MEMS chip arranged inside the cavity housing. The housing includes a first opening, via which the cavity is connected to the surroundings and in which a first grating is arranged, which is capable by setting it to a first electrical potential of attracting particles from the surroundings and/or electrically charging them. The MEMS chip includes a membrane facing toward the first opening, which is capable by setting it to a second electrical potential of attracting particles. The application furthermore relates to a method for operating a semiconductor device having a cavity housing and a MEMS chip arranged inside the cavity housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Klaus ELIAN, Ludwig HEITZER, Fabian MERBELER, Matthias EBERL, Thomas MÜLLER, Andreas ALLMEIER, Derek DEBIE, Cyrus GHAHREMANI, Jens POHL, Christian IRRGANG
