Abstract: A method for forming a cavity in a microfabricated structure, includes the sealing of that cavity with a low temperature solder. The method may include forming a sacrificial layer over a substrate, forming a flexible membrane over the sacrificial layer, forming a release hole through a flexible membrane to the sacrificial layer, introducing an etchant through the release hole to remove the sacrificial layer, and then sealing that release hole with a low temperature solder.

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 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: 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: Described herein is a method and structure for fabricating a self-sensing piezoelectric actuator. In a single device, the actuator may be formed which is capable of movement, along with a sensor that may provide a signal indicative of the speed and/or magnitude of the movement. The actuator may be fabricated on one wafer, and the sensor fabricated on a second wafer, and the two wafers bonded together to form the device. The device may be appropriate for vibration devices such as ultrasound tranducers and the like. The structure may be fabricated using well known semiconductor techniques such as depositions, etching and ion implantation.

Abstract: A microfabricated fluid pump 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. The force may be provided by an embedded layer of piezoelectric material. Embedded strain gauges may allow self-sensing and convenient, precise operational control.

Abstract: A MEMS device, having two flexible, permeable members which are manufactured to have sub-millimeter dimensions using MEMS fabrication procedures. The flexible, permeable members may form a reed switch, which closes an electrical connection in the presence of a magnetic field, and opens the connection otherwise. The MEMS reed switch device may be made using a three-wafer architecture of a lid wafer, a device wafer, and a lower, supporting wafer.
