    Abstract: Methods for making thin silicon layers suspended over recesses (30) in glass wafers (22). One method includes providing a thin silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer (21), and a glass wafer (22). The SOI wafer (21) can include a silicon oxide layer (50) disposed between a first undoped or substantially undoped silicon layer (20) and a second silicon layer (60). Recesses (30) can be formed in the glass wafer surface (24) and electrodes (38) may be formed on the glass wafer surface (24). The first silicon layer (20) of the SOI wafer (21) is then bonded to the glass wafer surface (24) having the recesses (30), and the second silicon layer (60) is subsequently removed using the silicon oxide layer (50) as an etch stop. Next, the silicon oxide layer (50) is removed. The first silicon layer (20) can then be etched to form the desired structure. In another illustrative embodiment, the first silicon layer (120) has a patterned metal layer (129) positioned adjacent the recesses (30) in the glass wafer (22). The, the second silicon layer (60) is removed using the silicon oxide layer (50) as an etch stop, and the silicon oxide layer (50) is subsequently removed. The first silicon layer (120) is then etched using the patterned metal layer (129) as an etch stop. The patterned metal layer (120) is then removed.

    Abstract: A microdevice comprises an insulator base having a recess therein and a beamlike silicon structural body provided in the front side of the base and surrounding the recess. The beamlike structural body includes a functional section that comprises a support joined to the base, a cantilevered beam integrated with the support and extending over the recess, and a conductive film formed at least over the surface of the recess immediately under the cantilevered beam and electrically connected to the support. The conductive film serves to prevent the recess from being charged positively during dry etching. Therefore the etching gas having positive charge is repelled by the electrical repulsive force exerted by the recess and do not corrode the structural body. Thus such a microdevice has a beamlike structural body of high shape and dimensional precisions, providing high reliability and high degree of freedom of design.

    Abstract: A MEMS structure includes a planar substrate, a support body coupled to the planar substrate, a fixed electrode coupled to the planar substrate and a moveable portion. The movable portion is spaced from and faces the fixed electrode. The movable electrode includes a movable weight and an intermediate frame surrounding an outer edge of the movable weight. A plurality of elastic supports connect the movable weight to the intermediate frame. The elastic supports are elastically deformable in a first direction extending parallel to the plane of the substrate such that the movable weight can move in the first direction. At least one torsion bar pivotally connects one end of the intermediate frame to the support body so as to allow the intermediate frame, and with it the movable weight, to pivot around an axis which extends parallel to the plane of the substrate and perpendicular to the first direction.
