    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a micromechanical structure envisages: forming a buried cavity within a body of semiconductor material, separated from a top surface of the body by a first surface layer; and forming an access duct for fluid communication between the buried cavity and an external environment. The method envisages: forming an etching mask on the top surface at a first access area; forming a second surface layer on the top surface and on the etching mask; carrying out an etch such as to remove, in a position corresponding to the first access area, a portion of the second surface layer, and an underlying portion of the first surface layer not covered by the etching mask until the buried cavity is reached, thus forming both the first access duct and a filter element, set between the first access duct and the same buried cavity.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the fabrication of a membrane oriented in a (111) plane of a (100) silicon wafer. To this end the method comprises the following steps: applying a mask to both sides of the wafer, wherein portions of the sides are covered by the mask; and the at least partial removal by etching away silicon material from the portions of the two sides of the wafer that are not covered. This method is characterised in that the etching step substantially removes the silicon material forming recesses in the two surfaces of the wafer, such that the walls of the recesses are formed by (111) planes, and in that not covered portions at both sides of the wafer are aligned in relation to one another such that a (111) plane is formed and the distance d between said two planes is less than the thickness of the silicon wafer, so as to form a membrane in the (111) plane having a thickness d. Such a membrane has many application possibilities in the field of MEMS, for example by dividing the membrane into individual cantilevers.

    Abstract: The invention is a method for fabricating molecular filters which can separate objects approximately 1-5 nm in range, where the filtration size is controlled by using thin films of materials and technologies to form a filtration channel or pore in a middle thin film layer in a multilayered structure. Lithography is used to define two offset arrays of blind holes into the opposing sides of a multi-layer membrane. The blind holes extend across a thin central filtration layer. A selective etch is used to attack the filtration layer to form a communicating channel between the two holes. The only connection between one side of the filter and the other is through the channel in the filter layer, whose thickness, d, determines the largest size object which can traverse the filter.
