    Abstract: A method is for manufacturing a microstructure having a thin-walled portion with use of a material substrate. The material substrate has a laminated structure which includes a first conductor layer 101, a second conductor layer 102, a third conductor layer 103, a first insulating layer 104 interposed between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer, and a second insulating layer 105 interposed between the second conductor layer and the third conductor layer. The first insulating layer is patterned to have a first masking part for covering a thin-wall forming region of the second conductor layer. The second insulating layer is patterned to have a second masking part for covering the thin-wall forming region of the second conductor layer. The method includes forming the thin-walled portion in the second conductor portion by etching the material substrate from the first conductor layer down to the second insulating layer via a mask pattern 58 including a non-masking region corresponding to the thin-wall forming region of the second conductor layer.

    Abstract: A method of providing microelectromechanical structures (MEMS) that are compatible with silicon CMOS electronics is provided. The method providing for processes and manufacturing sequences limiting the maximum exposure of an integrated circuit upon which the MEMS is manufactured to below 350° C., and potentially to below 250° C., thereby allowing direct manufacturing of the MEMS devices onto electronics, such as Si CMOS circuits. The method further providing for the provisioning of MEMS devices with multiple non-conductive structural layers such as silicon carbide separated with small lateral gaps. Such silicon carbide structures offering enhanced material properties, increased environmental and chemical resilience whilst also allowing novel designs to be implemented taking advantage of the non-conductive material of the structural layer. The use of silicon carbide being beneficial within the formation of MEMS elements such as motors, gears, rotors, translation drives, etc where increased hardness reduces wear of such elements during operation.
