Abstract:
A thin-film structural body formed by using a semiconductor processing technique and a manufacturing method thereof, and particularly a thin-film structural body constituting a semiconductor acceleration sensor and a manufacturing method thereof. The thin-film structural body allows the thin-film member to be easily stress-controlled, and easily makes the film-thickness of the thin-film member thicker. The thin-film member forms a mass body and, beams and fixed electrodes of the semiconductor acceleration sensor are constituted by a plurality of doped polysilicon thin-films that are laminated by performing a step of film deposition of polysilicon while, for example, phosphorous is being doped as impurities plural times.
Abstract:
A membrane structure element which can be easily manufactured, has excellent insulating characteristics and a high quality is provided. A method for manufacturing such membrane structure element is also provided. The membrane structure element is provided with a membrane formed of a silicon oxide film, and a substrate for supporting the membrane in a hollow status by supporting a part of the periphery of the membrane. The method for manufacturing such membrane is provided with a film forming step of forming a heat-shrinkable silicon oxide film (13) on the surface side of a silicon substrate (2) by plasma CVD method; a heat treatment step of performing heat treatment for making the silicon oxide film (13) formed on the substrate (1) shrink with heat; and a removing step of removing a part of the substrate (2) so that a corresponding part of the silicon oxide film (13) to the membrane is supported as a membrane to the substrate (2) in the hollow status, and forming a recessed section (4).

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing microstructures, such as MEMS or NEMS devices, including forming a protective layer on a surface of a moveable component of the microstructure. For example, a silicide layer may be formed on a portion of at least four different surfaces of a poly-silicon mass that is moveable with respect to a substrate of the microstructure. The process may be self-aligning.
Abstract:
A method of providing microelectromechanical structures (MEMS) that are compatible with silicon CMOS electronics is provided. The method providing for processes and manufacturing sequences limiting the maximum exposure of an integrated circuit upon which the MEMS is manufactured to below 350° C., and potentially to below 250° C., thereby allowing direct manufacturing of the MEMS devices onto electronics, such as Si CMOS circuits. The method further providing for the provisioning of MEMS devices with multiple non-conductive structural layers such as silicon carbide separated with small lateral gaps. Such silicon carbide structures offering enhanced material properties, increased environmental and chemical resilience whilst also allowing novel designs to be implemented taking advantage of the non-conductive material of the structural layer. The use of silicon carbide being beneficial within the formation of MEMS elements such as motors, gears, rotors, translation drives, etc where increased hardness reduces wear of such elements during operation.
