Semiconductor device and method of fabricating the same

摘要

In order to easily and accurately manufacture a micromachine comprising a member which is made of a single-crystalline material and having a complicated structure, an uppermost layer (1104) of a single-crystalline Si substrate (1102) whose (100) plane is upwardly directed is irradiated with Ne atom currents from a plurality of prescribed directions, so that the crystal orientation of the uppermost layer (1104) is converted to such orientation that the (111) plane is upwardly directed. A masking member (106) is employed as a shielding member to anisotropically etch the substrate (1102) from its bottom surface, thereby forming a V-shaped groove (1112). At this time, the uppermost layer (1104) serves as an etching stopper. Thus, it is possible to easily manufacture a micromachine having a single-crystalline diaphragm having a uniform thickness. A micromachine having a complicated member such as a diagram which is made of a single-crystalline material can be easily manufactured through no junction.
