    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing sacrificial layers in MEMS device fabrication are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises: applying a patterned layer of Aerogel material onto a substrate to form an Aerogel sacrificial layer; applying at least one non-sacrificial silicon layer over the Aerogel sacrificial layer, wherein the non-sacrificial silicon layer is coupled to the substrate through one or more gaps provided in the patterned layer of Aerogel material; and removing the Aerogel sacrificial layer by exposing the Aerogel sacrificial layer to a removal liquid.

    Abstract: Electro-mechanical switches and memory cells using vertically-disposed nanofabric articles and methods of making the same are described. An electro-mechanical device, includes a structure having a major horizontal surface and a channel formed therein. A conductive trace is in the channel; and a nanotube article vertically suspended in the channel, in spaced relation to a vertical wall of the channel. The article is electro-mechanically deflectable in a horizontal direction toward the conductive trace. Under certain embodiments, the vertically suspended extent of the nanotube article is defined by a thin film process. Under certain embodiments, the vertically suspended extent of the nanotube article is about 50 nanometers or less. Under certain embodiments, the nanotube article is clamped with a conducting material disposed in porous spaces between some nanotubes of the nanotube article. Under certain embodiments, the nanotube article is formed from a porous nanofabric. Under certain embodiments, the nanotube article is electromechanically deflectable into contact with the conductive trace and the contact is either a volatile state or non-volatile state depending on the device construction. Under certain embodiments, the vertically oriented device is arranged into various forms of three-trace devices. Under certain embodiments, the channel may be used for multiple independent devices, or for devices that share a common electrode.

    Abstract: Des premier et second matériaux sacrificiels sont déposés sur un substrat (1). Des premier et second motifs (2a, 6a) sont formés respectivement dans les premier et second matériaux sacrificiels. Le premier motif (2a) en premier matériau sacrificiel est disposé sur le second motif (6a) en un second matériau sacrificiel. Le premier motif laisse libre une zone de largeur prédéfinie sur la périphérie d'une face supérieure du second motif (6a). La couche active (3) recouvre au moins l'ensemble des parois latérales des premier et second motifs (2a, 6a) et ladite zone prédéfinie du second motif (6a). La zone active (3) est structurée pour permettre l'accès au premier matériau sacrificiel. Les premier et second matériaux sacrificiel sont éliminés sélectivement formant d'une structure mobile comportant une zone libre solidaire du substrat (1) par une zone d'accroche
