    Abstract: In a production method of a micromachine having a space between first and second electrodes, a first electrode is formed on a substrate, and then a stopper film is formed on its surface. Next, a second insulating film is formed as to cover the stopper film. The thickness of the second insulating film is larger than a total thickness of the first electrode and stopper film. Then, second insulating film is polished. By this polishing, the stopper film is exposed to the outside to the outside, and is planarized. After forming an opening in the stopper film, a sacrifice film is burred in the opening. Surfaces of the sacrifice film and second insulating film are planarized, and a second electrode is formed on the second insulating film as to cross the sacrifice film. A space is formed between the first and second electrodes by removing the sacrifice film.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for micromachining recessed layers (e.g. sacrificial layers) of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device formed in a cavity etched into a semiconductor substrate. The method uses chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) with a resilient polishing pad to locally planarize one or more of the recessed layers within the substrate cavity. Such local planarization using the method of the present invention is advantageous for improving the patterning of subsequently deposited layers, for eliminating mechanical interferences between functional elements (e.g. linkages) of the MEMS device, and for eliminating the formation of stringers. After the local planarization of one or more of the recessed layers, another CMP step can be provided for globally planarizing the semiconductor substrate to form a recessed MEMS device which can be integrated with electronic circuitry (e.g. CMOS, BiCMOS or bipolar circuitry) formed on the surface of the substrate.
