ABSTRACT: |
|
We present a new fabrication sequence for integrated-silicon microstructures designed and manufactured in a conventional CMOS process. The sequence employs a post-CMOS deep silicon backside etch, which allows fabrication of high aspect ratio (25:1) and flat MEMS devices with integrated circuitry. A comb-drive actuator and a beam resonator were fabricated using this process sequence. Electrical isolation of single-crystal silicon was realized by using the undercut of the reactive ion etch (RIE) process. The fabricated devices were actuated electrostatically and flatness characterized using interferometric measurements. | |
