Abstract: There is provided a method for forming a composite cavity and a composite cavity formed using the method. The method comprises the following steps: providing a silicon substrate (101); forming an oxide layer on the front side thereof; patterning the oxide layer to form one or more grooves (103), the position of the groove (103) corresponding to the position of small cavity (109) to be formed; providing a bonding wafer (104), which is bonded to the patterned oxide layer to form one or more closed micro-cavity structures (105) between the silicon substrate (101) and the bonding wafer (104); forming a protective film (106) over the bonding wafer (104) and forming a masking layer (107) on the back side of the silicon substrate (101); patterning the masking layer (107), the pattern of the masking layer (107) corresponding to the position of a large cavity (108) to be formed; using the masking layer (107) as a mask, etching the silicon substrate (101) from the back side until the oxide layer at the front side thereof to form the large cavity (108) in the silicon substrate (101); and using the masking layer (107) and the oxide layer as a mask, etching the bonding wafer (104) from the back side through the silicon substrate (101) until the protective film (106) thereover to form one or more small cavities (109) in the bonding wafer (104). The uniformity of thickness of the semiconductor medium layer where the small cavity (109) in the composite cavity is located is well controlled by the present invention.

Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a micromechanical component including a substrate and a cap connected to the substrate and together with the substrate enclosing a first cavity, a first pressure prevailing and a first gas mixture with a first chemical composition being enclosed in the first cavity. An access opening, connecting the first cavity to surroundings of the micromechanical component, is formed in the substrate or in the cap. The first pressure and/or the first chemical composition are adjusted in the first cavity. The access opening is sealed by introducing energy and heat into an absorbing part of the substrate or the cap with the aid of a laser. A recess is formed in a surface of the substrate or of the cap facing away from the first cavity in the area of the access opening for reducing local stresses occurring at a sealed access opening.

Abstract: A surface of a cavity of a MEMS device that is rough to reduce stiction. In some embodiments, the average roughness (Ra) of the surface is 5 nm or greater. In some embodiments, the rough surface is formed by forming one or more layers of a rough oxidizable material, then oxidizing the material to form an oxide layer with a rough surface. Another layer is formed over the oxide layer with the rough surface, wherein the roughness of the oxide layer is transferred to the another layer.

Abstract: A process for fabricating relatively thin SiC diaphragms may include fast Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) followed by Dopant Selective Reactive Ion Etching (DSRIE). The process may produce silicon carbide (SiC) diaphragms thinner than 10 microns. These thinner, more sensitive diaphragms may then be used to effectively resolve sub-psi pressures in jet engines, for example.
