    Abstract: A micro structure and an electric circuit included in a micro electro mechanical device are manufactured over the same insulating surface in the same step. In the micro electro mechanical device, an electric circuit including a transistor and a micro structure are integrated over a substrate having an insulating surface. The micro structure includes a structural layer having the same stacked-layer structure as a layered product of a gate insulating layer of the transistor and a semiconductor layer provided over the gate insulating layer. That is, the structural layer includes layers formed of the same insulating film as the gate insulating layer and the same semiconductor film as the semiconductor layer of the transistor. Further, the micro structure is manufactured by using each of conductive layers used for a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode of the transistor as a sacrificial layer.

    Abstract: A surface-micromachined rotatable member formed on a substrate and a method for manufacturing thereof are disclosed. The surface-micromachined rotatable member, which can be a gear or a rotary stage, has a central hub, and an annulus connected to the central hub by an overarching bridge. The hub includes a stationary axle support attached to the substrate and surrounding an axle. The axle is retained within the axle support with an air-gap spacing therebetween of generally 0.3 &mgr;m or less. The rotatable member can be formed by alternately depositing and patterning layers of a semiconductor (e.g. polysilicon or a silicon-germanium alloy) and a sacrificial material and then removing the sacrificial material, at least in part. The present invention has applications for forming micromechanical or microelectromechanical devices requiring lower actuation forces, and providing improved reliability.

    Abstract: The present invention is a technique for manufacturing microtube devices which have circumferential geometries repeated either uniformly or nonuniformly along the tube or device axis with sub-micron precision. The preferred manufacturing process involves forming a complex mandrel and giving it a metallic and/or nonmetallic coating or coatings by any of a variety of techniques. The mandrel can then be removed by appropriate chemical or physical means, leaving a microtube structure having an axial profile consisting of repeat units duplicating those on the mandrel. One technique for forming the complex mandrel consists of drawing a single core fiber (or bundle of core fibers) through a confining orifice. The fiber is held with minimal constraint (typically by friction), so that no breakage takes place as it is drawn through the orifice. However, enough constraint exists so that torque applied tangentially by another overwrapping fiber (or fibers) as it is being wound around the core fiber does not cause the core fiber to slip in the direction of applied torque. Moreover, the overwrapping fiber must be wound sufficiently close to the constraining orifice that twisting of the core fiber in the direction of torque is minimized to such an extent that unwinding, or "backlash" does not occur when constraining forces are removed at the end of winding.

    Abstract translation: 本发明是一种用于制造具有圆锥几何形状的微管器件的技术,其沿着管或器件轴线以亚微米精度均匀地或不均匀地重复。 优选的制造方法包括形成复杂心轴并通过各种技术中的任一种赋予其金属和/或非金属涂层或涂层。 然后可以通过适当的化学或物理手段去除心轴,留下微管结构,其具有由在心轴上复制的重复单元组成的轴向轮廓。 用于形成复合心轴的一种技术包括通过限制孔拉出单芯纤维(或芯纤维束)。 纤维以最小的约束(通常通过摩擦)保持,使得在通过孔被拉出时不会发生断裂。 然而,存在足够的约束,使得当其缠绕在芯纤维周围时由另外的外包纤维(或纤维)切向施加的扭矩不会导致芯纤维沿施加的扭矩的方向滑动。 此外,外包装纤维必须充分接近约束孔,使得芯纤维在扭矩方向上的扭转最小化到这样的程度,即在约束力在末端被去除时,展开或“间隙”不会发生 绕组。
