    Abstract: A device structure is defined in a single-crystal silicon (SCS) layer separated by an insulator layer, such as an oxide layer, from a handle wafer. The SCS can be attached to the insulator by wafer bonding, and is selectively etched, as by photolithographic patterning and dry etching. A sacrificial oxide layer can be deposited on the etched SCS, on which polysilicon can be deposited. A protective oxide layer is deposited, and CMOS circuitry and sensors are integrated. Silicon microstructures with sensors connected to CMOS circuitry are released. In addition, holes can be etched through the sacrificial oxide layer, sacrificial oxide can be deposited on the etched SCS, polysilicon can be deposited on the sacrificial oxide, PSG can be deposited on the polysilicon layer, which both can then be patterned.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new process of the cantilever structure in the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS), and more particularly, to a process that could overcome the contamination problem on the undesired areas during the thin-film growth. Their advantages include not only to substitute the complex technique with sacrificial layer, but also to increase the yield for its simple structure and to deal the sub-micron microelectromechanical system technology for the mature stage on the wet-etching skill.

The micro support extends along a vertical axis. The micro support has a central upper cavity extending along the vertical axis within the micro support. The micro support has a lower end connected to the substrate layer and an upper end connected to the microstructure for supporting the microstructure with respect to the substrate layer. The micro support is a multilayer micro support comprising two conductive paths and a layer made of dielectric material. The conductive paths and the layer of the micro support extend from the upper end to the lower end thereof. The two conductive paths connect respectively the two first contacts to the two second contacts.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of fabricating a precision etched, three dimensional device from a silicon wafer, wherein the etching is done from one side of the wafer using a two step silicon etching process. A two-sided deposition of a robust protective layer, such as polycrystalline silicon, is placed over a two-sided deposition of a chemical masking layer such as silicon dioxide. The two layers are concurrently patterned with first and second sets of vias on one side of the wafer, while the opposite side is protected by the protective layer. The protective layer is removed to permit deposition of a second masking layer such as silicon nitride, followed by deposition of a second protective layer. Again, the second protective layer prevents damage to the fragile second masking layer on the wafer backside while its frontside is patterned with a similar set of vias aligned with the first set of vias in the first masking layer. This similar set of vias is sequentially formed in both the second protective layer and the underlying second masking layers. Then the wafer is placed in an etchant bath so that the first set of recesses is anisotropically etched in the wafer frontside side. Next, the second protective layer and second masking layer are removed to permit anisotropic etching of the second set of recesses through the second set of vias in the first masking layer. If the protective layer is polycrystalline silicon, it is concurrently etch-removed during the initial etching of the silicon wafer.
