    Abstract: The invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor component with a rough buried interface. The method includes providing a first semiconductor substrate having a first surface of roughness R1. The method further includes thermally oxidizing the first surface of the first semiconductor substrate to form an oxide layer defining an external oxide surface on the first semiconductor substrate and a buried oxide-semiconductor interface below the oxide surface, so that the buried oxide surface has a roughness R2 that is less than R1. The method also includes assembling the oxide surface of the first semiconductor substrate with a second substrate. The invention also provides a component formed according to the method of the invention.

    Abstract: A useful layer (1) is initially attached by a sacrificial layer (2) to a layer (3) forming a substrate. Before etching of the sacrificial layer (2), at least a part of the surface (4, 5) of at least one of the layers in contact with the sacrificial layer (2) is doped. After etching of the sacrificial layer (2), the surface (4, 5) is superficially etched so as to increase the roughness of its doped part. After doping, a mask (9) is deposited on a part of the useful layer (1) so as to delineate a doped zone and a non-doped zone of the surface (4, 5), one of the zones forming a stop after the superficial etching phase.

    Abstract: A mechanism for reducing stiction in a MEMS device by decreasing surface area between two surfaces, such as a travel stop and travel stop region, that can come into close contact is provided. Reduction in contact surface area is achieved by increasing surface roughness of the travel stop region. This is achieved by depositing a polysilicon layer over a dielectric layer using gaseous hydrochloric acid as one of the reactants. A subsequent etch back is performed to further increase the roughness. The deposition of polysilicon and subsequent etch back may be repeated one or more times in order to obtain the desired roughness. A final polysilicon layer may then be deposited to achieve a desired thickness. This final polysilicon layer is patterned to form the travel stop regions. The rougher surface decreases the surface area available for contact and, in turn, decreases the area through which stiction can be imparted.

    Abstract: A mechanism for reducing stiction in a MEMS device by decreasing surface area between two surfaces that can come into close contact is provided. Reduction in contact surface area is achieved by increasing surface roughness of one or both of the surfaces. The increased roughness is provided by forming a micro-masking layer on a sacrificial layer used in formation of the MEMS device, and then etching the surface of the sacrificial layer. The micro-masking layer can be formed using nanoclusters. When a next portion of the MEMS device is formed on the sacrificial layer, this portion will take on the roughness characteristics imparted on the sacrificial layer by the etch process. The rougher surface decreases the surface area available for contact in the MEMS device and, in turn, decreases the area through which stiction can be imparted.
