    Abstract: A method of adjusting plasma processing of a substrate in a plasma reactor having an electrode assembly. The method includes the steps of positioning the substrate in the plasma reactor, creating a plasma in the plasma reactor, monitoring optical emissions emanating from a plurality of different regions of the plasma in a direction substantially parallel to the surface of the substrate during plasma processing of the substrate, and determining an integrated power spectrum for each of the different plasma regions and comparing each of the integrated power spectra to a predetermined value. One aspect of the method includes utilizing an electrode assembly having a plurality of electrode segments and adjusting RF power delivered to the one or more electrode segments based on differences in the integrated power spectra from the predetermined value. Another aspect of the invention includes altering the flow of gas to different regions of the plasma in response to differences in the integrated power spectra detected by the fiber optic sensors. Several types of novel electrode assemblies suitable for carrying out the method of the invention are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of making a micromechanical device including forming a dielectric layer over a sacrificial layer, wherein the dielectric layer includes silicon, oxygen and nitrogen. In on embodiment, the dielectric layer is silicon oxynitride formed using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Silicon oxynitride can easily be formed as a low stress material, unlike silicon dioxide, and does not have a large charge trap density like silicon nitride.

    Abstract: Methods for fabricating crack resistant Microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices are provided, as are MEMS devices produced pursuant to such methods. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a sacrificial body over a substrate, producing a multi-layer membrane structure on the substrate, and removing at least a portion of the sacrificial body to form an inner cavity within the multi-layer membrane structure. The multi-layer membrane structure is produced by first forming a base membrane layer over and around the sacrificial body such that the base membrane layer has a non-planar upper surface. A predetermined thickness of the base membrane layer is then removed to impart the base membrane layer with a planar upper surface. A cap membrane layer is formed over the planar upper surface of the base membrane layer. The cap membrane layer is composed of a material having a substantially parallel grain orientation.
