    Abstract: An electron beam mask substrate including a substrate layer to form a membrane layer support through backside etching, an etching stopper layer formed on the substrate layer, and a membrane layer formed on the etching stopper layer. When the tensile stress of the membrane layer is reduced with the reduction in the thickness of the layer and when the membrane part having the membrane layer and the etching stopper layer is deformed during backside processing owing to the influence of the stress of the etching stopper layer thereon, and/or when the membrane layer is deformed within a range not satisfying the mask pattern positioning accuracy during removal of the etching stopper layer, then the membrane stress of the membrane layer and the membrane stress of the etching stopper layer are so correlated that the membrane part is not deformed during backside processing, and/or so correlated that the membrane layer is not deformed over the range satisfying the mask pattern positioning accuracy during removal of the etching stopper layer. This allows for the production of a tough electron beam mask for which the membrane stress of the etching stopper is specifically so controlled as to reduce the deformation of the layer structure, and to provide an electron beam mask substrate and an electron beam mask blank which are for producing the electron beam mask.

    Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating a CMOS based micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) integrated circuit. A CMOS circuit layout is fabricated on a silicon substrate. A first thick film photo resist layer is then deposited on the CMOS circuit layout. To prevent oxidation from occurring between aluminum and gold, a seed layer is applied to the first thick film photo resist layer. A mold is then formed by selectively depositing a second thick film photo resist layer on portions of the seed layer so that a conductive layer can be applied to the mold. Portions of the seed layer are then removed and a stress compensation material is applied to the conductive layer. A back side surface of the silicon substrate is then etched to remove areas not covered by a mask, and the first thick film photo resist layer is removed via openings in the CMOS circuit layout.

    Abstract: A two-dimensional driving actuator comprises a flat spring structure, and a driver for driving the flat spring structure. The flat spring structure includes a moving plate, a moving inner frame surrounding the moving plate, first torsion bars coupling the moving plate and the moving inner frame so as to allow the moving plate to be vibrated relative to the moving inner frame, a fixed outer frame surrounding the moving inner frame, and second torsion bars coupling the moving inner frame and the fixed outer frame so as to allow the moving inner frame to be vibrated relative to the fixed outer frame. The flat spring structure is manufactured from a single semiconductor substrate. The first and second torsion bars are made of different materials.

    Abstract: An improved micromachined structure used for beam scanners, gyroscopes, etc. includes a reference member from which project a first pair of axially aligned torsion bars. A first dynamic member, coupled to and supported from the reference member by the torsion bars, oscillates in one-dimension about the torsion bar's axis. A second dynamic member may be supported from the first dynamic member by a second pair of axially aligned torsion bars for two-dimensional oscillation. The dynamic members respectively exhibit a plurality of vibrational modes each having a frequency and a Q. The improvement includes means for altering a characteristic of the dynamic member's frequency and Q. Coupling between dynamic members permits altering the second dynamic member's frequency and Q by techniques applied to the first dynamic member. Some techniques disclosed also increase oscillation amplitude or reduce driving voltage, and also increase mechanical ruggedness of the structure.
