    Abstract: A method for creating a semiconductor structure is provided. In accordance with the method, a semiconductor substrate (101) is provided over which is disposed a sacrificial layer (103), and which has a thin single crystal semiconductor layer (105) disposed over the sacrificial layer (103). An opening (107) is then created which extends through the semiconductor layer (105) and into the sacrificial layer (103). The semiconductor layer (105) is then epitaxially grown to a suitable device thickness, thereby resulting in a device layer. The semiconductor layer is grown such that the resulting device layer extends over the opening (107), and such that the surface of the portion of the device layer extending over the opening is single crystal silicon.

    Abstract: The current invention provides for encapsulated release structures, intermediates thereof and methods for their fabrication. The multi-layer structure has a capping layer (211) that preferably comprises silicon oxide and/or silicon nitride and which is formed over an etch resistant substrate (203). A patterned device layer (206), preferably comprising silicon nitride, is embedded in a sacrificial material (205, 209), preferably comprising polysilicon, and is disposed between the etch resistant substrate (203) and the capping layer (211). Access trenches or holes (219) are formed into the capping layer (211) and the sacrificial material (205, 209) is selectively etched through the access trenches (219) such that portions of the device layer (206) are released from the sacrificial material (205, 209). The etchant preferably comprises a noble gas fluoride N g F 2x (wherein Ng = Xe, Kr or Ar: and where x = 1, 2 or 3). After etching that sacrificial material (205, 209), the access trenches (219) are sealed to encapsulate (241) released portions the device layer (206) between the etch resistant substrate (203) and the capping layer (211). The current invention is particularly useful for fabricating MEMs devices, multiple cavity devices and devices with multiple release features.
