摘要:
A vent hole precursor structure (26) in an intermediate product for a semiconductor device having delicate structures (27,28), Wherein said intermediate product has a cavity (21) with a pressure differing from the pressure of the surroundings, said intermediate product comprising a first wafer (20) in which there is formed a depression (21), said first wafer being bonded to a second wafer (22) comprising a device layer (23) from which the structures (27,28) are to be made by etching; and a hole or groove (26) having a predefined depth and extends downwards into the device layer, such that the cavity (21) during etching is opened up before the etching procedure breaks through the device layer (23) forming the structures (27,28).
摘要:
The invention relates to a layered micro-electronic and/or micro-mechanic structure, comprising at least three alternating electrically conductive layers with insulating layers between the conductive layers. There is also provided a via in a first outer layer, said via comprising an insulated conductive connection made of wafer native material through the layer, an electrically conductive plug extending through the other layers and into said via in the first outer layer in order to provide conductivity through the layers, and an insulating enclosure surrounding said conductive plug in at least one selected layer of said other layers for insulating said plug from the material in said selected layer. It also relates to micro-electronic and/or micro-mechanic device comprising a movable member provided above a cavity such that it is movable in at least one direction. The device has a layered structure according to the invention. Methods of making such a layered MEMS structure is also provided.
