    Abstract: A manufacturing method according to which surface unevenness of a workpiece on which microprocessing is performed such as a semiconductor substrate or a micromachine is readily flattened with a higher degree of flatness than the prior art even when depressions vary in depth, to thus facilitate the processing of the surface in a subsequent process. The manufacturing method includes the processes of applying a photosensitive resin 2 over the surface of a workpiece 1, exposing the applied resin using a grayscale mask 3 that corresponds to the surface shape of the resin, and developing the exposed resin and eliminating unhardened resin.

    Abstract: A method is described for manufacturing a micromechanical structure, in which a structured surface is created in a substrate by an etching method in a first method step, and residues are at least partially removed from the structured surface in a second method step. In the second method step, an ambient pressure for the substrate which is lower than 60 Pa is set and a substrate temperature which is higher than 150° C. is set.

    Abstract: MEMS devices (40) using etched cavities (42) are desirably formed using multiple etching steps. Preliminary cavities (20) formed by locally anisotropic etching to nearly the final depth have irregular (46) sidewalls (44) and steep and/or inconsistent sidewall (44) to bottom (54) intersection angles (48). This leads to less than desired cavity diaphragm (26) burst strengths. Final cavities (42) with smooth sidewalls (50), smaller and consistent sidewall (50) to bottom (54) intersection angles (58), and having more than doubled cavity diaphragm (26) burst strengths are obtained by treating the preliminary cavities (20) with TMAH etchant, preferably relatively dilute TMAH etchant. In a preferred embodiment, a cleaning step is performed between the etching step and the TMAH treatment step to remove any anisotropic etching by-products present on the preliminary cavities' (20) initial sidewalls (44). The multi-step cavity etching procedure is especially useful for forming robust MEMS pressure sensors, but is applicable to any type of MEMS device.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a process that uses selective etching to form a structure on a silicon substrate. The process starts by receiving the silicon substrate with a first layer composed of a first material, which includes voids created by a first etching operation. The process then forms a second layer composed of a second material over the first layer, so that the second layer fills in portions of voids in the first layer created by the first etching operation. Next, the process performs a chemo-mechanical polishing operation on the second layer down to the first layer so that only remaining portions of the second layer, within the voids created by the first etching operation, remain. The system then forms a third layer composed of a third material over the first layer and the remaining portions of the second layer, and performs a second etching operation using a selective etchant to remove the remaining portions of the second layer, thereby creating voids between the first layer and the third layer.
