Abstract: Systems and methods for forming an electrostatic MEMS switch that is used to switch a source of current or voltage. At least one surface of the MEMS switch may be rotated on approach to another substrate, such that when the surfaces are separated, the forces are shearing forces rather than static frictional forces.

Abstract: A microfabricated pressure transducer is formed in a multilayer substrate by etching a plurality of shallow and deep wells into the layers, and then joining these wells with voids formed by anisotropic etching. The voids define a flexible membrane over the substrate which deforms when a force is applied.

Abstract: An MEMS device, having two substantially parallel surfaces are separated by an initial distance. At least one of the surfaces includes a raised feature that limits the gap between the surfaces to less than the initial distance when an actuating voltage is applied. In some embodiments, the raised feature limits the gap to about 66% of the initial distance.

Abstract: A first ion rich dielectric substrate with a patterned dielectric barrier and a oxidizable metal layer is anodically bonded to a second ion rich dielectric substrate. To bond the substrates, the oxidizable metal layer is oxidized. The dielectric barrier may inhibit the migration of these ions to the bondline, which might otherwise poison the bond strength. Accordingly, when joining the two substrates, a strong bond is maintained between the wafers.

Abstract: A bonding technology is disclosed that can form an anodic, conductive bond between two optically transparent substrates. The anodic bond may be accompanied by a metal alloy, solder, eutectic and polymer bond. The first anodic bond may provide one attribute such as hermeticity, whereas the second bond may provide another attribute, such as electrical conductivity.

Abstract: A method for forming through silicon vias (TSVs) in a silicon substrate is disclosed. The method involves forming a silicon post as an annulus in a first side of a silicon substrate, removing material from an opposite side to the level of the annulus, removing the silicon post and replacing it with a metal material to form a metal via extending through the thickness of the substrate.

Abstract: A method for forming through substrate vias (TSVs) in a non-conducting, glass substrate is disclosed. The method involves patterning a silicon template substrate with a plurality of lands and spaces, bonding a slab or wafer of glass to the template substrate, and melting the glass so that it flows into the spaces formed in the template substrate. The template substrate may then be removed to leave a plurality of TSVs in the glass slab or wafer.

Abstract: A MEMS-based system and a method are described for separating a target particle from the remainder of a fluid stream. The system makes use of a unique, microfabricated movable structure formed on a substrate, which moves in a rotary fashion about one or more fixed points, which are all located on one side of the axis of motion. The movable structure is actuated by a separate force-generating apparatus, which is entirely separate from the movable structure formed on its substrate. This allows the movable structure to be entirely submerged in the sample fluid.
