    Abstract: A technique for manufacturing a micro-electro mechanical structure includes a number of steps. Initially, a cavity is formed into a first side of a handling wafer, with a sidewall of the cavity forming a first angle greater than about 54.7 degrees with respect to a first side of the handling wafer at an opening of the cavity. Then, a bulk etch is performed on the first side of the handling wafer to modify the sidewall of the cavity to a second angle greater than about 90 degrees, with respect to the first side of the handling wafer at the opening of the cavity. Next, a second side of a second wafer is bonded to the first side of the handling wafer.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus to obtain as-deposited polycrystalline and low-stress SiGe layers. These layers may be used in Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices or micromachined structures. Different parameters are analysed which effect the stress in a polycrystalline layer. The parameters include, without limitation: deposition temperature; concentration of semiconductors (e.g., the concentration of Silicon and Germanium in a SixGe1−x layer, with x being the concentration parameter); concentration of dopants (e.g., the concentration of Boron or Phosphorous); amount of pressure; and use of plasma. Depending on the particular environment in which the polycrystalline SiGe is grown, different values of parameters may be used.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating an infrared detector, a method of controlling the stress in a polycrystalline SiGE layer and an infrared detector device is disclosed. The method of fabricating includes the steps of forming a sacrificial layer on a substrate; patterning said sacrificial layer; establishing a layer consisting essentially of polycrystalline SiGe on said sacrificial layer; depositing an infrared absorber on said polycrystalline SiGe layer; and thereafter removing the sacrificial layer. The method of controlling the stress in a polycrystalline SiGe layer deposited on a substrate is based on varying the deposition pressure. The infrared detector device comprises an active area and an infrared absorber, wherein the active area comprises a polycrystalline SiGe layer, and is suspended above a substrate.

    Abstract: An air bridge type structure of a bridge shape which joins to a substrate or micro-structure is manufactured by forming an air bridge type structure on a first substrate and transferring the air bridge type structure to a second substrate and/or a micro-structure formed on the second substrate. A mold substrate, comprising a recessed portion provided on the surface of the mold substrate and a peeling layer formed on the recessed portion, is used for formation of the air bridge type structure. A micro-structure can be supported by the air bridge type structure, for example, a probe for detecting tunneling current or micro-force, supported by the air bridge type structure. Accordingly, electrical connection between structures and the substrate or between the structures one to another can be performed, even if there is undercutting underneath the structures. Film stress generated upon formation of air bridge type structures can be avoided, and increasing of productivity and lowering of costs can be simultaneously achieved.
