Abstract:
A method of fabricating a passivation layer and a passivation layer for an electronic device. The passivation layer includes at least one passivation film layer and at least one nanoparticle layer. A first film layer is formed of an insulating matrix, such as aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) and a first layer of a noble metal nanoparticle layer, such as a platinum nanoparticle layer, is deposited on the first film layer. Additional layers are formed of alternating film layers and nanoparticle layers. The resulting passivation layer provides a thin and robust passivation layer of high film quality to protect electronic devices, components, and systems from the disruptive environmental conditions.

Abstract:
A method is provided for fabricating a MEMS device on a workpiece by forming a mercaptain mask (306) on a gold structure (309). The mask (306) is used to inhibit anodic etching of polysilicon structures (303) during the acid etch process that is used to remove the oxide dielectric layer from the workpiece to expose the polysilicon structures of the MEMS device (303) to allow their movement. The mercaptain can be utilised to adhere to the exposed gold surface (309) to form a self-mask (306) on the gold surface (309). As such, a workpiece having numerous gold surfaces, such as numerous optomechanical switches, each having various types of gold structures, can be placed in a mercaptain solution. The mercaptain selectively coats the gold surfaces to form self-adhering mercaptain masks on all the exposed gold surfaces.
Abstract:
The present disclosure discloses a bipolar transistor type MEMS pressure sensor and a preparation method thereof. The bipolar transistor type MEMS pressure sensor includes a thin film, a cantilever beam and a bipolar transistor. The bipolar transistor includes a base region, a collector region and an emitter region. The base region is configured to sense deformation of the thin film through a change in resistance value. For the bipolar transistor type MEMS pressure sensor of the disclosure, sensitivity of the sensor can be effectively improved without changing the performance indicators such as the measurement range and nonlinearity. Meanwhile, the bipolar transistor is used as a pressure-sensitive element, so that temperature drift of the sensor can be effectively inhibited.
Abstract:
A MEMS device is obtained by forming a temporary biasing structure on a semiconductor body, and forming an actuation coil on the semiconductor body, the actuation coil having at least one first end turn, one second end turn and an intermediate turn arranged between the first and the second end turns and electrically coupled to the first end turn through the temporary biasing structure. In this way, the intermediate turn is biased at approximately the same potential as the first end turn during galvanic growth, and, at the end of growth, the actuation coil has an approximately uniform thickness. At the end of galvanic growth, portions of the temporary biasing structure are selectively removed to electrically separate the first end turn from the intermediate turn and from a dummy biasing region adjacent to the first end turn.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a micromechanical device includes providing a silicon substrate having a front side and a rear side, where a first normal of the front side deviates by a first angle from the direction of the silicon substrate; forming in the front side first and second trenches that are spaced apart from and essentially parallel to each other, with the first and second trenches extending along a direction of the deviation; forming on the front side a first etching mask that covers the front side except for a first opening area between the first and second trenches; and anisotropically etching the front side using the etching mask, thereby forming in the opening area an oblique surface having a second angle to the first normal, which approximately corresponds to the first angle.
