    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a microsystem structure with lateral gaps and the corresponding microsystem structure. The inventive method consists in: (a) depositing a first sacrificial layer (CS1) on the substrate (S); (b) forming a structural element (SE), add-on structure, on said sacrificial layer, which is intended to form a mobile add-on structure with two degrees of freedom (YY, XX); (c) covering the free surface of the structural element (SE) with a second sacrificial layer of thickness e = dg which is equal to the linear dimension of the gap; (d) covering the first sacrificial layer (CS1) and the free surface of the second sacrificial layer (CS2) with a layer of material (SM) which is intended to form another add-on structure; and (e) etching the second sacrificial layer (CS2) and subsequently the first sacrificial layer (CS1) so as to prevent, at least partially, any contact between the structural element (SE) in the direction of the first and second degree of freedom and any other add-on structure and the substrate (S), in order to produce lateral gaps having a width that is essentially equal to the thickness of the sacrificial layer (CS2). The invention is suitable for the production of microsystem structures and components containing same.

    Abstract: Monolithically integrated pressure sensors of outstanding quality and versatility are produced through micromechanical surface structures definition techniques. A microphonic cavity in the semiconductor substrate is monolithically formed by cutting by plasma etching the front side or the back side of the silicon wafer a plurality of trenches or holes deep enough to extend for at least part of its thickness into a purposely made doped buried layer of opposite type of conductivity of the substrate and of the epitaxial layer grown over it; electrochemically etching through such trenches, the silicon of the buried layer with an electrolytic solution suitable for selectively etching the doped silicon of said opposite type of conductivity, making the silicon of the buried layer porous; and oxidizing and leaching away the silicon so made porous. Preferably, the trenches or holes for accessing the doped buried layer are cut through the epitaxial layer and not through the rear of the monocrystalline silicon substrate thus avoiding the burden of precisely aligning the mask on the rear surface with the masks that are used on the front surface of the substrate. Moreover, the thickness of the substrate is normally much greater than that of the epitaxial layer and thus the need to cut relatively deep and narrow trenches requiring the use of special plasma etching equipment is avoided.

    Abstract: A fabrication method for a MEMS structure, the MEMS structure including a fixing portion fixed to the substrate and a floating portion floating above the substrate. A sacrificial layer deposited on the substrate is patterned to have a groove forming a space surrounding the area corresponding to the area in which the fixing portion is to be formed. If the MEMS structure is deposited on the sacrificial layer, a sidewall is formed inside the space and the fixing portion and the floating portion are formed on the sacrificial layer. If the sacrificial layer is removed using an etchant, the sacrificial layer at the bottom of the fixing portion is protected from the etchant by the sidewall and accordingly, the sacrificial layer except the area surrounded by the sidewall is removed. Therefore, only the sacrificial layer under the floating portion is removed. Because the connecting portion is fabricated to have the same thickness as the fixing portion and the floating portion, a strong/durable MEMS structure is provided. Additionally, the boundary between the fixing portion and the floating portion can be precisely determined, and adjustment of the length of the floating portion can be precisely controlled.
