    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method for forming a MEMS device and a MEMS device formed by the method. When forming the MEMS device, sacrificial material is deposited around the switching element within the cavity body. The sacrificial material is eventually removed to free the switching element in the cavity. The switching element has a thin dielectric layer thereover to prevent etchant interaction with the conductive material of the switching element. During fabrication, the dielectric layer is deposited over the sacrificial material. To ensure good adhesion between the dielectric layer and the sacrificial material, a silicon rich silicon oxide layer is deposited onto the sacrificial material before depositing the dielectric layer thereon.

    Abstract: A MEMS chip (100) includes a silicon substrate layer (110), a first oxidation layer (120) and a first thin film layer (130). The silicon substrate layer includes a front surface (112) for a MEMS process and a rear surface (114), both the front surface and the rear surface being polished surfaces. The first oxidation layer is mainly made of silicon dioxide and is formed on the rear surface of the silicon substrate layer. The first thin film layer is mainly made of silicon nitride and is formed on the surface of the first oxidation layer. In the above MEMS chip, by sequentially laminating a first oxidation layer and a first thin film layer on the rear surface of a silicon substrate layer, the rear surface is effectively protected to prevent the scratch damage in the course of a MEMS process. A manufacturing method for the MEMS chip is also provided.

    Abstract: Systems and methods that protect CMOS layers from exposure to a release chemical are provided. The release chemical is utilized to release a micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) device integrated with the CMOS wafer. Sidewalls of passivation openings created in a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) wafer expose a dielectric layer of the CMOS wafer that can be damaged on contact with the release chemical. In one aspect, to protect the CMOS wafer and prevent exposure of the dielectric layer, the sidewalls of the passivation openings can be covered with a metal barrier layer that is resistant to the release chemical. Additionally or optionally, an insulating barrier layer can be deposited on the surface of the CMOS wafer to protect a passivation layer from exposure to the release chemical.
