    摘要: A method for manufacturing an MEMS torsional electrostatic actuator comprises: providing a substrate (10), wherein the substrate (10) comprises a first silicon layer (100), a buried oxide layer (200) and a second silicon layer (300) that are laminated sequentially; patterning the first silicon layer (100) and exposing the buried oxide layer (200) to form a rectangular upper electrode plate (120) separated from a peripheral region (140), wherein the upper electrode plate (120) and the peripheral region (140) are connected by only using a cantilever beam (130), and forming, on the peripheral region (140), a recessed portion (110) exposing the buried oxide layer (200); patterning the second silicon layer (300) and exposing the buried oxide layer (200) to form a back cavity (310), wherein the back cavity (310) is located in a region of the second silicon layer (300) corresponding to the upper electrode plate (120), covers 40% to 60% of the area of the region corresponding to the upper electrode plate (120), and is close to one end of the cantilever beam (130); exposing the second silicon layer (300), and suspending the upper electrode plate (120) and the cantilever beam (130); and respectively forming an upper contact electrode (400) and a lower contact electrode (500) on the second silicon layer (300).

    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.

    摘要: In a method of manufacturing a capacitive electromechanical transducer, a first electrode (8) is formed on a substrate (4), an insulating layer (9) which has an opening (6) leading to the first electrode is formed on the first electrode (8), and a sacrificial layer is formed on the insulating layer. A membrane (3) having a second electrode (1) is formed on the sacrificial layer, and an aperture is provided as an etchant inlet in the membrane. The sacrificial layer is etched to form a cavity (10), and then the aperture serving as an etchant inlet is sealed. The etching is executed by electrolytic etching in which a current is caused to flow between the first electrode (8) and an externally placed counter electrode through the opening (6) and the aperture of the membrane.
