    摘要: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a capacitive micro-machined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) device comprising a first electrode (112) on a substrate (110) and a second electrode (122) embedded in an electrically insulating membrane, the first electrode and the membrane being separated by a cavity (130) formed by the removal of a sacrificial material (116) in between the first electrode and the membrane, the method comprising forming a membrane portion (22) on the second electrode and a further membrane portion (24) extending from the membrane portion towards the substrate alongside the sacrificial material, wherein the respective thicknesses the membrane portion and the further membrane portion exceed the thickness of the sacrificial material prior to forming said cavity. A CMUT device manufactured in accordance with this method and an apparatus comprising such a CMUT device are also disclosed.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for producing a microfluidic device, comprising the following method steps: a) arranging a thermoplastic elastomeric film (1) between a base substrate (2) and a cover substrate (3), wherein at least one of the substrates (2, 3) has at least one depression (4, 5) for forming a microfluidic chamber having a depression opening (4a, 5a) on the side (2a, 3a) of the substrate (2, 3) facing the elastomeric film (1), b) applying pressing power to the arrangement such that the elastomeric film (1) is compressed between the base substrate (2) and the cover substrate (3), in which process the thickness (d
    0 ) of the elastomeric film (1) is reduced, c) forming, by means of laser beam welding, at least one weld joining the thermoplastic elastomeric film (1), the base substrate (2) and the cover substrate (3), and d) removing the pressing power, in order to prevent the formation of capillaries between the base substrate (2) and the cover substrate (3).

    摘要: Systems and methods for processing sacrificial layers in MEMS device fabrication are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises: applying a patterned layer of Aerogel material onto a substrate to form an Aerogel sacrificial layer; applying at least one non-sacrificial silicon layer over the Aerogel sacrificial layer, wherein the non-sacrificial silicon layer is coupled to the substrate through one or more gaps provided in the patterned layer of Aerogel material; and removing the Aerogel sacrificial layer by exposing the Aerogel sacrificial layer to a removal liquid.
