Abstract:
A method of fabricating a MEMS device includes conditioning of an insulating layer by applying a voltage across the insulating layer via a conductive sacrificial layer for a period of time, prior to removal of the conductive sacrificial layer. This conditioning process may be used to saturate or stabilize charge accumulated within the insulating layer. The resistance across the insulating layer may also be measured to detect possible defects in the insulating layer. ® KIPO & WIPO 2009
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method of through-etching substrate is provided to efficiently perform a cooling processing of a substrate and to improve a profile around a penetrated hole by using a metal material. CONSTITUTION: A buffer(62) made of a silicon dioxide is formed on a surface of a silicon substrate(50) having a hole. Then, a metal film(64) made of an aluminum is formed on the buffer(62). After depositing another buffer(72) and another metal film(74) on the rear surface of the silicon substrate(50), an etch mask pattern(66) is formed on the metal film(74). After etching the metal film(74) and the buffer(72) using the etch mask pattern(66) as an etch mask, the silicon substrate(50) is penetrated by etching using the metal film(74) and the buffer(72) as another etch mask. Due to the metal films(64,74), plasma ion flux is smoothly circulated, so that a good profile is completed.

Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) structures, methods of manufacture and design structures are disclosed. The method includes forming a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) beam structure by venting both tungsten material and silicon material above and below the MEMS beam to form an upper cavity above the MEMS beam and a lower cavity structure below the MEMS beam.
Abstract:
One aspect is a method for the production of a three-dimensional structure of successive layers producing a multitude of successive layers wherein, with the exception of a first layer, each of the successive layers is arranged on a preceding layer. Each of the successive layers includes at least two materials wherein one material is a sacrificial material and one material is a structure material. Each of the successive layers defines a successive cross-section through the three-dimensional structure. Producing each of the layers includes depositing the sacrificial material by means of an electrochemical process and depositing the structure material by means of physical gas phase deposition. After a multitude of successive layers has been produced, the three-dimensional structure is uncovered by removing at least a part of the sacrificial material. The sacrificial material is at least one of a group consisting of nickel, silver, palladium, and gold.

A method of fabricating a micro-device having micro-features on glass is presented. The method includes the steps of preparing a first glass substrate, fabricating a metallic pattern on the first glass substrate, preparing a second glass substrate and providing one or more apertures on the second glass substrate, heating the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate with a controlled temperature raise, bonding the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate by applying pressure to form a bonded substrate, wherein the metallic pattern is embedded within the bonded substrate, cooling the bonded substrate with a controlled temperature drop and thereafter maintaining the bonded substrate at a temperature suitable for etching, etching the metallic pattern within the bonded substrate, wherein an etchant has access to the metallic pattern via the apertures, forming a void within the bonded substrate, wherein the void comprises micro-features.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus which involve selectively removing a sacrificial portion of molybdenum (Mo) relative to other structural materials in a self-limiting manner. The Mo is only partially removed, leaving behind a remaining portion of molybdenum. The self-limiting etch can form an internal cavity by removing only a portion of a Mo layer between electromechanical systems electrodes. The remaining Mo can serve as a support structure between the electrodes.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides implementations of high surface area stacked layered metallic structures, devices, apparatus, systems, and related methods. A plurality of stacked layers on a substrate may be manufactured from a plating bath including a first metal and a second metal. A modulated plating current can deposit alternate first metal layers and alloy layers, the alloy layers including the first metal and the second metal. Gaps between the alloy layers can be formed by selectively etching some portions of the first metal layers to define a stacked layered structure. Stacked layered structures may be useful in applications to form capacitors, inductors, catalytic reactors, heat transfer tubes, non-linear springs, filters, batteries, and heavy metal purifiers.
