    摘要: A microelectromechanical (MEM) device includes a substrate, a suspension spring, a structure, and a release bridge. The suspension spring is coupled to, and suspended above, the substrate. The structure is coupled to the suspension spring and is resiliently suspended thereby above the substrate. The release bridge is coupled to the suspension spring. During sensor manufacture, the suspension spring and structure are suspended above the substrate by undergoing a release process. The release bridge is sized such that, during the release process, the structure and the suspension spring are released substantially simultaneously.

    摘要: Method for fabricating a gyroscope including: fabricating a SMS wafer where a first wafer, a metal film, and a second wafer are sequentially stacked; forming a cantilever or a bridge shaped-structure on the relevant portion of the first wafer through the photolithography process; attaching to the surface of the first wafer, a first cap made of glass and having a predetermined space for sealing the movable structure in a vacuum state; separating and removing the metal film and the second wafer from the first wafer; and attaching to the backside of the first wafer, the second cap which is structurally and materially symmetric to the first cap. The SMS wafer is fabricated by depositing the metal film on the second wafer and bonding the first wafer on the metal film using metal paste or material of polymer series. With lower material costs, improvements in performance and characteristics can be achieved.

    摘要: A micro-scale gap fabrication process using a dry releasable dendritic material sacrificial layer. The fabrication process produces micro-scale gaps, such as those required between a suspended microstructure and an opposing surface in MEMS. The dendritic sacrificial layer is releasable by heating the dendritic material past its decomposition point after forming the microstructure. The sacrificial layer may be applied to a wafer, for example, by spin coating a solution including the dissolved dendritic material. The sacrificial layer, after being formed, may be patterned and prepared for accepting structural material for the microstructure. After a desired microstructure or microstructures are formed around the sacrificial layer, the layer is dry releasable by heating.

    摘要: A method of producing a micromechanical relay comprises the steps of providing a substrate including a conductive fixed electrode in or on said substrate. A sacrificial layer and a conductive layer are applied and the conductive layer is structured so as to define a beam structure as a movable counterelectrode opposite said fixed electrode. A contact area is applied, the conductive layer extending between an anchoring region and the contact area and being insulated from said contact area. Subsequently, the sacrificial layer is removed by means of etching so as to produce the beam structure comprising a movable area and an area secured to the anchoring region on the substrate. The beam structure is defined such that etch access openings in said beam structure are structured such that the size of the area covered by the etch access openings used for etching the sacrificial layer increases from the area of the beam structure secured to the substrate to the movable area of the beam structure so that the etching of the sacrificial layer is controlled in such a way that the portion of the sacrificial layer arranged below the movable area of the beam structure is etched faster than the portion of the sacrificial layer arranged in the area of the anchoring region.
