    Abstract: It is intended to provide a membrane structure element that can be easily manufactured, has an excellent insulating property and high quality; and a method for manufacturing the membrane structure element. The manufacturing method is for manufacturing a membrane structure element including a membrane formed of a silicon oxide film and a substrate which supports the membrane in a hollow state by supporting a part of a periphery of the membrane. The method includes: a film formation step of forming a heat-shrinkable silicon oxide film 13 on a surface of a silicon substrate 2 by plasma CVD method; a heat treatment step of performing a heat treatment to cause the thermal shrinkage of the silicon oxide film 13 formed on the substrate 1; and a removal step of removing a part of the substrate 2 in such a manner that a membrane-corresponding part of the silicon oxide film 13 is supported as a membrane in a hollow state with respect to the substrate 2 to form a recessed part 4.

    Abstract: The invention relates to processes for the formation of isolation structures for micro-machined sensors in single-crystal surface technology. In known processes, silicon structures defined by deep trenches are etched and uncovered by a “release etch” step also at their bottom surface towards the substrate. The subsequent lining of these trenches with a non-conducting insulating material, such as silicon dioxide leads to a firm anchoring by means of a surrounding of the silicon structure with the lined trenches on three sides, leaving one side uncovered. It is the main idea of the invention—instead of lining the trenches—to convert thin-walled silicon into an electrically non-conducting material. This can, for instance, be accomplished by means of a thermal oxidation of narrow silicon ribs released prior thereto by trenches. In the minimal configuration, two trenches (holes) per rib with the required structure depth must be etched for this purpose. The silicon rib between them must be narrow enough to permit its complete thermal through oxidation.

    Abstract: A staggered torsional electrostatic combdrive includes a stationary combteeth assembly and a moving combteeth assembly with a mirror and a torsional hinge. The moving combteeth assembly is positioned entirely above the stationary combteeth assembly by a predetermined vertical displacement during a combdrive resting state. A method of fabricating the staggered torsional electrostatic combdrive includes the step of deep trench etching a stationary combteeth assembly in a first wafer. A second wafer is bonded to the first wafer to form a sandwich including the first wafer, an oxide layer, and the second wafer. A moving combteeth assembly is formed in the second wafer. The moving combteeth assembly includes a mirror and a torsional hinge. The moving combteeth assembly is separated from the first wafer by the oxide layer. The oxide layer is subsequently removed to release the staggered torsional electrostatic combdrive.

    Abstract: A micromirror for fast beam steering and method of fabricating the same. The micromirror of the present invention is lightweight and optically flat, and includes a tensile membrane that is stretched under high tension across a rigid single-crystal silicon support rib structure. A thin layer of gold may be deposited on the polysilicon membrane to improve reflectivity. The tensile stress in the membrane gives the micromirror a very high resonant frequency, thereby allowing the mirror to be scanned at high frequencies without exciting resonant nodes that may compromise the flatness of the optical surface and ruin its optical properties. The tensile stress also causes the optical surface to be stretched flat. The micromirror of the present invention may be actuated by a staggered torsional electrostatic combdrive.
