Abstract:
A method includes forming a release layer over a donor substrate. A plurality of devices made of a first semiconductor material are formed over the release layer. A first dielectric layer is formed over the plurality of devices such that all exposed surfaces of the plurality of devices are covered by the first dielectric layer. The plurality of devices are chemically attached to a receiving device made of a second semiconductor material different than the first semiconductor material, the receiving device having a receiving substrate attached to a surface of the receiving device opposite the plurality of devices. The release layer is etched to release the donor substrate from the plurality of devices. A second dielectric layer is applied over the plurality of devices and the receiving device to mechanically attach the plurality of devices to the receiving device.
Abstract:
In an embodiment a method of fabricating a MEMS structure is provided. The method includes fabricating a working structure in a doped layer proximate a first surface of a silicon substrate. The first surface of the silicon substrate is bonded to a first planar glass structure having a first one or more sacrificial features embedded therein. The method also includes etching to remove a bulk of the silicon substrate, wherein the bulk is reverse of the first surface on the silicon substrate, wherein etching removes the bulk and leaves the working structure bonded to the first planar glass structure. The method also includes etching to remove the first one or more sacrificial features from the first planar glass structure.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for the split and separation of a layer of desired thickness of crystalline semiconductor material containing optical, photovoltaic, electronic, micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS), or optoelectronic devices, from a thicker donor wafer using laser irradiation.
Abstract:
A dual backplate MEMS microphone system including a flexible diaphragm sandwiched between two single-crystal silicon backplates may be formed by fabricating each backplate in a separate wafer, and then transferring one backplate from its wafer to the other wafer, to form two separate capacitors with the diaphragm.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a transfer substrate for transferring a metal wiring material to a transfer-receiving object, the transfer substrate comprising a substrate, at least one metal wiring material formed on the substrate and an underlying metal film formed between the substrate and the metal wiring material, wherein the metal wiring material is a molded article prepared by sintering, e.g., gold powder having a purity of 99.9% by weight or more and an average particle size of 0.01 μm to 1.0 μm and the underlying metal film is composed of a metal such as gold or an alloy. The transfer substrate is capable of transferring a metal wiring material to the transfer-receiving object even at a temperature for heating the transfer-receiving object of 80 to 300° C.
