    Abstract: Multilayer structures are electrochemically fabricated on a temporary (e.g. conductive) substrate and are thereafter bonded to a permanent (e.g. dielectric, patterned, multi-material, or otherwise functional) substrate and removed from the temporary substrate. In some embodiments, the structures are formed from top layer to bottom layer, such that the bottom layer of the structure becomes adhered to the permanent substrate, while in other embodiments the structures are formed from bottom layer to top layer and then a double substrate swap occurs. The permanent substrate may be a solid that is bonded (e.g. by an adhesive) to the layered structure or it may start out as a flowable material that is solidified adjacent to or partially surrounding a portion of the structure with bonding occurring during solidification. The multilayer structure may be released from a sacrificial material prior to attaching the permanent substrate or it may be released after attachment.

    Abstract: Organic anti-stiction coatings such as, for example, hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon based self-assembled organosilanes and siloxanes applied either in solvent or via chemical vapor deposition, are selectively etched using a UV-Ozone (UVO) dry etching technique in which the portions of the organic anti-stiction coating to be etched are exposed simultaneously to multiple wavelengths of ultraviolet light that excite and dissociate organic molecules from the anti-stiction coating and generate atomic oxygen from molecular oxygen and ozone so that the organic molecules react with atomic oxygen to form volatile products that are dissipated, resulting in removal of the exposed portions of the anti-stiction coating. A hybrid etching process using heat followed by UVO exposure may be used. A shadow mask (e.g., of glass or quartz), a protective material layer, or other mechanism may be used to selective expose the portions of the anti-stiction coating to be UVO etched. Such selective UVO etching may be used, for example, to expose wafer bond lines prior to wafer-to-wafer bonding in order to increase bond shear and adhesion strength, to expose bond pads in preparation for electrical or other connections, or for general removal of anti-stiction coating materials from metal or other material surfaces. One specific embodiment uses two wavelengths of ultraviolet light, one at around 184.9 nm and the other at around 253.7 nm.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for delivering a fine mist of a lubricant to a micromechanical device. A mixture 402 of a lubricant and a diluent carrier fluid is held in a supply reservoir 404. The mixture is forced through a nebulizer tip 406 to produce a fine aerosol. A particle selector 408 removes large droplets from the aerosol as the aerosol passes. The aerosol travels a distance through a delivery conduit 410 while the diluent carrier fluid evaporates from the nebulized droplets. The evaporation removes the vast majority of the diluent carrier fluid from the droplets, greatly reducing the size of the lubricant droplets. The evaporated aerosol enters a deposition chamber 412 and is deposited on a micromechanical device 414. The micromechanical devices may be lubricated in wafer form, in which case the lubricant aerosol will lubricate an entire wafer of micromechanical devices at one time. One embodiment produces an aerosol having a mean droplet size of less than 10 microns. Evaporation of the diluent carrier fluid reduces this droplet size to 10-500 nm by the time the lubricant is deposited on the micromechanical devices. The preceding abstract is submitted with the understanding that it only will be used to assist in determining, from a cursory inspection, the nature and gist of the technical disclosure as described in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b). In no case should this abstract be used for interpreting the scope of any patent claims.
