    Abstract: The invention is directed to methods for direct patterning of silicon. The invention provides the ability to fabricate complex surfaces in silicon with three dimensional features of high resolution and complex detail. The invention is suitable, for example, for use in soft lithography as embodiments of the invention can quickly create a master for use in soft lithography. In an embodiment of the invention, electrochemical etching of silicon, such as a silicon wafer, for example, is conducted while at least a portion of the silicon surface is exposed to an optical pattern. The etching creates porous silicon in the substrate, and removal of the porous silicon layer leaves a three-dimensional structure correlating to the optical pattern.

    Abstract: The present publication discloses a method for forming cavities in prefabricated silicon wafers comprising a first silicon layer (1), a second monocrystalline silicon layer, or a so-called structural layer (3), oriented substantially parallel with said first silicon layer (1) and an insulating layer (2) situated between said first and second layers (1, 3). According to the method, in at least one of the conducting silicon layers (1, 3) are fabricated windows (4) extending through the thickness of the layer, and cavities are etched in the insulating layer (2) by means of etchants passed to the layer via said fabricated windows (4). According to the invention, subsequent to the fabrication step of the windows (4) and prior to the etching step, a thin porous layer (5) is formed on the surface to be processed such that the etchants can be passed through said porous layer into said cavities (6) being etched and, after the cavities (6) are etched ready, at least one supplementary layer (7) is deposited in order to render to the material of said porous layer impermeable to gases.

    Abstract: This invention provides a front side silicon micromachining process for the fabrication of suspended Porous Silicon membranes in the form of bridges or cantilevers and of thermal sensor devices employing these membranes. The fabrication of the suspended Porous Silicon membranes comprises the following steps: (a) formation of a Porous Silicon layer (2) in, at least one, predefined area of a Silicon substrate (1), (b) definition of etch windows (5) around or inside said Porous Silicon layer (2) using standard photolithography and (c) selective etching of the silicon substrate (1), underneath the Porous Silicon layer (2), by using dry etching techniques to provide release of the Porous Silicon membrane and to form a cavity (6) under the said Porous Silicon layer. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for the fabrication of thermal sensors based on Porous Silicon membranes with minimal thermal losses, since the proposed methodology combines the advantages that result from the low thermal conductivity of Porous Silicon and the use of suspended membranes. Moreover, the front-side micromachining process proposed in the present invention simplifies the fabrication process. Various types of thermal sensor devices, such as calorimetric-type gas sensors, conductometric type gas sensors and thermal conductivity sensors are described utilizing the proposed methodology.
