Abstract:
An implantable microneedle and a manufacturing method therefor is disclosed. The implantable microneedle includes a coating layer for covering at least one part of the surface of a tip part of the microneedle. When exposed to moisture, the coating layer can be separated from the tip part of the microneedle and thus be implanted.

Abstract:
A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device includes a supporting substrate, a cavity disposed in the supporting substrate, a stopper, and a MEMS structure. The stopper is disposed between the supporting substrate and the cavity, and an inner sidewall of the stopper is in contact with the cavity. The stopper includes a filling material surrounding a periphery of the cavity, and a liner wrapping around the filling material. The MEMS structure is disposed over the cavity and attached on the stopper and the supporting substrate.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, includes, in part, growing a first layer of oxide on a surface of a first semiconductor substrate, forming a layer of insulating material on the oxide layer, patterning and etching the insulating material and the first oxide layer to form a multitude of oxide-insulator structures and further to expose the surface of the semiconductor substrate, growing a second layer of oxide in the exposed surface of the semiconductor substrate, and removing the second layer of oxide thereby to form a cavity in which a MEMS device is formed. The process of growing oxide in the exposed surface of the cavity and removing this oxide may be repeated until the cavity depth reaches a predefined value. Optionally, a multitude of bump stops is formed in the cavity.
Abstract:
A layer structure may include a carrier, a two-dimensional layer, and a holding structure. The holding structure is arranged on the carrier and holds the two-dimensional layer on the carrier such that at least a portion of the two-dimensional layer is spaced apart from the carrier. The holding structure includes a holding portion extending from the two-dimensional layer towards the carrier beyond the at least a portion of the two-dimensional layer spaced apart from the carrier.
Abstract:
A nano-structure includes an oxidized layer, and at least two sets of super nano-pillars positioned on the oxidized layer. Each of the at least two sets of super nano-pillars includes a plurality of super nano-pillars, where each set is separated a spaced distance from each other set.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a thermal bimorph diaphragm and a MEMS speaker with thermal bimorphs, wherein the method comprises the steps of: thermally oxidizing a substrate to obtain an insulating layer thereon and providing a metal layer on the insulating layer; providing a sacrificial layer on the metal layer; providing a first thermal bimorph layer on the sacrificial layer; providing a second thermal bimorph layer on the first thermal bimorph layer; providing a metal connecting layer at the positions on the metal layer where the sacrificial layer is not provided; forming corresponding back holes on the substrate and the insulating layer and releasing the sacrificial layer; forming the thermal bimorph diaphragm which is warped with the first thermal bimorph layer and the second thermal bimorph layer after the sacrificial layer is released.
