摘要:
A method for producing a micromechanical component, preferably for fluidic applications having cavities. The component is constructed from two functional layers, the two functional layers being patterned differently using micromechanical methods. A first etch stop layer having a first pattern is applied to a base plate. A first functional layer is applied to the first etch stop layer and to the first contact surfaces of the base plate. A second etch stop layer, having a second pattern, is applied to first functional layer. A second functional layer is applied to the second etch stop layer and to the second contact surfaces of the first functional layer. An etching mask is applied to the second functional layer. The second and the first functional layer are patterned as sacrificial layers by the use of the first and the second etch stop layer by etching methods and/or by using the first and the second etch stop layer. By supplementing patterning of the base plate, additional movable fluidic elements may be implemented, using the method. The method is preferably used for producing a micropump having an epitactic polysilicon layer as the pump diaphragm.

A micromechanical component having at least two caverns is provided, the caverns being delimited by the micromechanical component and a cap, and the caverns having different internal atmospheric pressures. The micromechanical component and cap are hermetically joined to one another at a first specifiable atmospheric pressure, then an access to at least one cavern is produced, and subsequently the access is hermetically closed off at a second specifiable atmospheric pressure.

A micromechanical component having a diaphragm is provided, the structure of which effectively prevents the penetration of dirt particles into the cavity. A method for manufacturing such a component is also provided. The structure of the component is implemented in a layer structure which includes at least one first sacrificial layer and a layer system over the first sacrificial layer. A cavity is formed in the first sacrificial layer underneath the diaphragm. In the region of the diaphragm between the upper layer and the lower layer of the layer system situated directly above the first sacrificial layer, at least one access channel to the cavity is formed which has at least one opening in the upper layer and at least one opening in the lower layer, the opening in the upper layer and the opening in the lower layer being offset with respect to each other.

A method for producing a micromechanical device, e.g., a micromechanical oscillating mirror device, is provided. It is provided, starting from the front side of an SOI/EOI(epipoly on insulator) substrate, to penetrate to the desired depth of the silicon substrate layer in two successive, separate deep etching steps, and to use this in its upper region that is close to the oxide layer as sacrificial layer for vertically exposing the island structures that are positioned above the oxide layer in the functional layer. The method according to the present invention of a sacrificial layer process for generating large vertical deflections utilizes purely surface micromechanical process steps.

A micromechanical structural element, having a very stable diaphragm, implemented in a pure front process and in a layer construction on a substrate. The layer construction includes at least one sacrificial layer and one diaphragm layer above the sacrificial layer, which is structured for laying bare the diaphragm and generating stabilizing elements on the diaphragm, at least one recess being generated for a stabilizing element of the diaphragm. The structure generated in the sacrificial layer is then at least superficially closed with at least one material layer being deposited above the structured sacrificial layer, this material layer forming at least a part of the diaphragm layer and being structured to generate at least one etch hole for etching the sacrificial layer, which is removed from the region under the etch hole, the diaphragm and the at least one stabilizing element being laid bare, a cavity being created under the diaphragm.

摘要:
A method is described for producing surface micromechanical structures having a high aspect ratio, a sacrificial layer being provided between a substrate and a function layer, trenches being provided by a plasma etching process in the function layer, at least some of these trenches exposing surface regions of the sacrificial layer. To increase the aspect ratio of the trenches, an additional layer is deposited on the side walls of the trenches in at least some sections, but not on the exposed surface regions of the sacrificial layer. In addition, a sensor is described, in particular an acceleration sensor or a rotational rate sensor.
