    Abstract: A process for overcoming extreme topographies by first planarizing a cavity in a semiconductor substrate in order to create a planar surface for subsequent lithography processing. As a result of the planarizing process for extreme topographies, subsequent lithography processing is enabled including the deposition of features in close proximity to extreme topographic surfaces (e.g., deep cavities or channels) and, including the deposition of features within a cavity. In a first embodiment, the process for planarizing a cavity in a semiconductor substrate includes the application of dry film resists having high chemical resistance. In a second embodiment, the process for planarizing a cavity includes the filling of cavity using materials such as polymers, spin on glasses, and metallurgy.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating a micromechanical device and a semiconductor circuit on a substrate includes the steps of forming the micromechanical device on a device area of the substrate, the micromechanical device being embedded in a sacrificial material, selectively depositing a planarization layer on the substrate in a circuit area thereof, forming the semiconductor circuit on the planarization layer in the circuit area and removing the sacrificial material from the embedded micromechanical device. In a preferred embodiment, the planarization layer is an epitaxial silicon layer. A protective cap may be formed over the micromechanical device, so that it is completely encapsulated and is thereby protected against particulate contamination.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards planarization materials that produce little or no volatile byproducts during the hardening process when used in contact planarization processes. The materials can be hardened by photo-irradiation or by heat during the planarization process, and they include one or more types of monomers, oligomers, or mixtures thereof, an optional cross-linker, and an optional organic reactive solvents. The solvent, if used, is chemically reacted with the monomers or oligomers and thus becomes part of the polymer matrix during the curing process. These materials can be used for damascene, dual damascene, bi-layer, and multi-layer applications, microelectromechanical system (MEMS), packaging, optical devices, photonics, optoelectronics, microelectronics, and sensor devices fabrication.
