摘要: A method of making a micro electo-mechanical switch or tunneling sensor. A cantilevered beamstructure and a mating structure are defined on an etch stop layer on a first substrate or wafer;and at least one contact structure and a mating structure are defined on a second substrate orwafer, the mating structure on the second substrate or wafer being of a complementary shape tothe mating structure on the first substrate or wafer. A bonding layer, preferably a eutecticbonding layer, is provided on at least one of the mating structures. The mating structure of thefirst substrate is moved into a confronting relationship with the mating structure of the secondsubstrate or wafer. Pressure is applied between the two substrates so as to cause a bond to occur between the two mating structures at the bonding or eutectic layer. Then the first substrate or wafer and the etch stop layer are removed to free the cantilevered beam structure for movement relative to the second substrate or wafer.

摘要: A method of making a micro electro-mechanical gyroscope. A cantilevered beam structure, firstportions of side drive electrodes and a mating structure are defined on a first substrate or wafer;and at least one contact structure, second portions of the side drive electrodes and a matingstructure are defined on a second substrate or wafer, the mating structure on the second substrateor wafer being of a complementary shape to the mating structure on the first substrate or waferand the first and second portions of the side drive electrodes being of a complementary shape to each other. A bonding layer, preferably a eutectic bonding layer, is provided on at least one of the mating structures and one or the first and second portions of the side drive electrodes. The matingstructure of the first substrate is moved into a confronting relationship with the mating structureof the second substrate or wafer. Pressure is applied between the two substrates so as to cause a bond to occur between the two mating structures at the bonding or eutectic layer and alsobetween the first and second portions of the side drive electrodes to cause a bond to occurtherebetween. Then the first substrate or wafer is removed to free the cantilevered beam structurefor movement relative to the second substrate or wafer. The bonds are preferably eutectic bonds.

A cantilevered beam structure and a mating structure are defined on a first substrate or wafer; and at least one contact structure and a mating structure are defined on a second substrate or wafer, the mating structure on the second substrate or wafer being of a complementary shape to the mating structure on the first substrate or wafer. At least one of the mating structures includes a protrusion extending from a major surface of at least one of said substrates. A bonding layer, preferably a eutectic bonding layer, is provided on at least one of the mating structures. The mating structure of the first substrate is moved into a confronting relationship with the mating structure of the second substrate or wafer. Pressure is applied between the two substrates so as to cause a bond to occur between the two mating structures at the bonding or eutectic layer. Then the first substrate or wafer is removed to free the cantilevered beam structure for movement relative to the second substrate or wafer.

摘要: A three axis MEM tunneling/capacitive sensor and method of making same. Cantilevered beamstructures for at least two orthogonally arranged sensors and associated mating structures aredefined on a first substrate or wafer, the at least two orthogonally arranged sensors havingorthogonal directions of sensor sensitivity. A resonator structure of at least a third sensor is alsodefined, the third sensor being sensitive in a third direction orthogonal to the orthogonal directions of sensor sensitivity of the two orthogonally arranged sensors and the resonatorstructure having a mating structure thereon. Contact structures for at least two orthogonallyarranged sensors are formed together with mating structures on a second substrate or wafer, themating structures on the second substrate or wafer being of a complementary shape to the matingstructures on the first substrate or wafer. The mating structures of the first substrate aredisposed in a confronting relationship with the mating structures of the second substrate orwafer. A eutectic bonding layer associated with one of the mating structures facilitates bondingbetween the respective mating structures. At least a portion of the first substrate or wafer is removed to release the cantilevered beam structures and the resonator structure.
