Abstract: Nanochannel sensors and methods for constructing nanochannel sensors. An example method includes forming a sacrificial line on an insulating layer, forming a dielectric layer, etching a pair of electrode trenches, forming a pair of electrodes, and removing the sacrificial line to form a nanochannel. The dielectric layer may be formed on insulating layer and around the sacrificial line. The pair of electrode trenches may be etched in the dielectric layer on opposite sides of the sacrificial line. The pair of electrodes may be formed by filling the electrode trenches with electrode material. The sacrificial line may be removed by forming a nanochannel between the at least one pair of electrodes.

Abstract: A silicon-on-insulator wafer is provided. The silicon-on-insulator wafer includes a silicon substrate having optical vias formed therein. In addition, an optically transparent oxide layer is disposed on the silicon substrate and the optically transparent oxide layer is in contact with the optical vias. Then, a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor layer is formed over the optically transparent oxide layer.

Abstract: A method of forming a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) includes forming a lower electrode on a first insulator layer within a cavity of the MEMS. The method further includes forming an upper electrode over another insulator material on top of the lower electrode which is at least partially in contact with the lower electrode. The forming of the lower electrode and the upper electrode includes adjusting a metal volume of the lower electrode and the upper electrode to modify beam bending.

Abstract: Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) structures, methods of manufacture and design structures are provided. The method of forming a MEMS structure includes forming fixed actuator electrodes and a contact point on a substrate. The method further includes forming a MEMS beam over the fixed actuator electrodes and the contact point. The method further includes forming an array of actuator electrodes in alignment with portions of the fixed actuator electrodes, which are sized and dimensioned to prevent the MEMS beam from collapsing on the fixed actuator electrodes after repeating cycling. The array of actuator electrodes are formed in direct contact with at least one of an underside of the MEMS beam and a surface of the fixed actuator electrodes.
