    Abstract: An integrated semiconductor heating assembly includes a semiconductor substrate, a chamber formed therein, and an exit port in fluid communication with the chamber, allowing fluid to exit the chamber in response to heating the chamber. The integrated heating assembly includes a first heating element adjacent the chamber, which can generate heat above a selected threshold and bias fluid in the chamber toward the exit port. A second heating element is positioned adjacent the exit port to generate heat above a selected threshold, facilitating movement of the fluid through the exit port away from the chamber. Addition of the second heating element reduces the amount of heat emitted per heating element and minimizes thickness of a heat absorption material toward an open end of the exit port. Since such material is expensive, this reduces the manufacturing cost and retail price of the assembly while improving efficiency and longevity thereof.

    Abstract translation: 集成半导体加热组件包括半导体衬底,形成在其中的腔室以及与腔室流体连通的出口,允许流体响应于加热室而离开腔室。 集成加热组件包括邻近腔室的第一加热元件,该第一加热元件可以产生高于选定阈值的热量,并将腔室中的流体朝向出口偏压。 第二加热元件邻近出口定位以产生高于所选阈值的热量,便于流体通过出口远离腔室的运动。 添加第二加热元件减少了每个加热元件发出的热量,并使吸热材料的厚度最小化到出口的开口端。 由于这样的材料是昂贵的,所以这降低了组件的制造成本和零售价格,同时提高了其效率和使用寿命。

    Abstract: A semiconductor oxide plate is formed on a recessed surface in a semiconductor matrix material layer. Comb structures are formed in the semiconductor matrix material layer. The comb structures include a pair of inner comb structures spaced apart by a first semiconductor portion. A second semiconductor portion that laterally surrounds the first semiconductor portion is removed selective to the comb structures using an isotropic etch process. The first semiconductor portion is protected from an etchant of the isotropic etch process by the semiconductor oxide plate, the pair of inner comb structures, and a patterned etch mask layer that covers the comb structures. A movable structure for a MEMS device is formed, which includes a combination of the first portion of the semiconductor matrix material layer and the pair of inner comb structures.
