    Abstract: A solid state structure having a surface is provided and is exposed to a flux, F, of incident ions. The conditions of this incident ion exposure are selected based on: 1 null null t null C null ( r , t ) = F null null null Y 1 + D null null 2 null C - C null trap - F null null null C null null null null C , where C is concentration of mobile adatoms at structure surface, r is vector surface position, t is time, Y1 is number of adatoms created per incident ion, D is adatom diffusivity, nulltrap is average lifetime of an adatom before adatom annihilation occurs at a structure surface defect characteristic of solid state structure material, and nullCis cross-section for adatom annihilation by incident ions characteristic of selected ion exposure conditions. Ion exposure condition selection controls sputtering of the structure surface by incident ions to transport, within the structure including the structure surface, material of the structure to a feature location, in response to the ion flux exposure, to produce a feature substantially by locally adding material of the structure to the feature location.

    Abstract: A method for releasing a structure from contact with a substrate in a micromechanical device includes the step of irradiating the structure with energy having parameters selected to produce a thermal gradient normal to the surface of the structure which causes upward bowing and release of the structure from the substrate. Preferably, the structure is irradiated with laser energy and, more preferably, the structure is irradiated with pulsed laser energy. The temperature gradient creates a strain gradient, due to thermal expansion, which causes the structure to bow upwardly. Support elements react and hold the structure up after the thermal gradient has disappeared.

    Abstract: A microelectromechanical device (MEMD) defined within a substrate of a MEMS includes a mass element defining an area of interest. The device also includes a support beam supporting the mass element in spaced-apart relationship from the substrate. The support beam includes a first beam member defined by a first fixed end connected to the substrate, and a first free end connected to the mass element. The support beam further includes a second beam member defined by a second fixed end connected to the substrate, and a second free end connected to the mass element. The beam members are in spaced-apart relationship from one another. A first cross member connects the first beam member and the second beam member. Preferably, the support beam includes a plurality of cross members. Two such support beams can be used to support a mass element in a MEMD in a bridge configuration.

    Abstract: A laser direct write method creates true three dimensional structures within photocerams using an focused pulsed ultraviolet laser with a wavelength in a weakly absorbing region of the photoceram material. A critical dose of focused laser UV light selectively exposes embedded volumes of the material for subsequent selective etching. The photoceram material exposure is nonlinear with the laser fluence and the critical dose depends on the square of the per shot fluence and the number of pulses. The laser light is focused to a focal depth for selective volumetric exposure of the material within a focal volume within the remaining collateral volumes that is critically dosed for selecting etching and batch fabrication of highly defined embedded structures.
