Thereafter a first drying step is performed in which the wafer (1) is rotated around the axis perpendicular to the wafer surface (3) and in which the humidity of the environment is such that the water on the wafer surface (3) is partially removed while the wafer surface (3) remains covered with a film of water (13). The first drying step is followed by a second drying step, which removes the film of water (13) from the wafer surface (3). The method according to the invention advantageously reduces metal ion contamination on the wafer surface (3).

    Abstract: After the release etch of MEMS structures stiction is a well-known problem. Especially for the buried oxide etch on SOI wafers because of the very flat surfaces. Methods to prevent stiction are etching with an etch liquid but the wafers are dried in a CPD tool or alternatively etching with a vapor. However these methods require special equipment and are only effective for the release etch. A simple method for the formation of anti-stiction structures is described in order to prevent direct mechanical contact. The buried oxide is etched in a controlled way and stopped before the buried oxide is totally etched away. The buried oxide residues form anti-stiction structures and prevent direct contact between the resonator and the substrate. For this method no special equipment is required and the process complexity is not increased.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for etching a feature in an etch layer that has a thickness of more than 2 micrometer from an initial contact face for the etchant to an opposite bottom face of the etch layer, at a lateral feature position in the etch layer and with a critical lateral extension at the bottom face. The method comprises fabricating, at the lateral feature position on the substrate layer, a mask feature from a mask-layer material, the mask feature having the critical lateral extension. The etch layer is deposited to a thickness of more than 2 micrometer, on the mask feature and on the substrate layer, from an etch-layer material, which is selectively etchable relative to the mask-layer material. Then, the feature is etched in the etch layer at the first lateral position with a lateral extension larger than the crit ical lateral extensio n, using an etchant that selectively removes the etch layer-material relative to the mask-layer material.
