摘要:
A process for fabricating a MEMS device with movable comb teeth and stationary comb teeth. A single mask is used to define, during a series of processing steps, the location and width of both movable comb teeth and stationary comb teeth so as to assure self alignment of the comb teeth. MEMS devices are fabricated from a single multi-layer semi-conductor structure of semiconductor material and insulator material. In a preferred embodiment the process is employed to provide a MEMS mirror device having a movable structure, a movable frame, a first set of two torsional members, a first set of at least four comb drives, an outer fixed frame structure, a second set of two torsional members, and a second set of at least four comb drives.

Probe tips, methods for making probe tips, and method for using such probe trips are described. The probe tips can include a pedestal portion connected to a beam of a cantilever structure and a contact portion that can contact an electronic component that to be tested. The pedestal portion and contact portions can have a generally trapezoidal shape. The probe tips can also include a rectangular-shaped extension portion located between the base and contact portions. The probe tips can be made using a dual-etching process that creates the generally trapezoidal shape of the base and contact portions and the generally rectangular-shaped extension portion.

A probe apparatus can include a substrate, a contact structure attached to the substrate, and an electronic component electrically connected to the contact structure. The electronic component can be attached to the contact structure.
摘要:
Probe array structures and methods of making probe array structures are disclosed. A plurality of electrically conductive elongate contact structures disposed on a first substrate can be provided. The contact structures can then be partially encased in a securing material such that ends of the contact structures extend from a surface of the securing material. The exposed portions of the contact structures can then be captured in a second substrate.
