    摘要: The microreactor is formed by a sandwich including a first body, an intermediate sealing layer and a second body. A buried channel extends in the first body and communicates with the surface of the first body through a first and a second apertures. A first and a second reservoirs are formed in the second body and are at least partially aligned with the first and second apertures. The sealing layer separates the first aperture from the first reservoir and the second aperture from the second reservoir, thereby avoiding contamination of liquids contained in the buried channel from the outside and from any adjacent buried channels. The sealing layer is perforated during use of the device, but a resilient plug can be used to reseal the device.

    摘要: A method for the quantitative assessment of the degree of geometrical deformation undergone by a surface profile of a wafer following the formation of a conformal surface layer employs a simple mechanical profilometer, whose stylus is run over a target morphological detail comprising at least two mutually parallel ridges or reliefs which rise above the plane of the surface of the wafer for a height of between 0.1 and 0.5 .mu.m, and which enclose between them a depression of a width of between 2 and 4 .mu.m, in order to determine the elevation of the bottom of the valley between the two ridges relative to the plane of the surface of the wafer from which the ridges rise following the formation of one or more similar surface layers. The vertical measurement of the elevation undergone by the bottom of the valley in itself represents a quantitative index of the vertical and horizontal geometrical deformation undergone by the details of the surface profile of the wafer. In order to determine characteristics of automatic alignability by a particular apparatus employing said target details for automatic alignment, it is possible to establish a maximum value for said distortion index, determined as above, above which the automatic alignment capability is lost.

    摘要: A method of forming buried cavities in a wafer of monocrystalline semiconductor material with at least one cavity formed in a substrate of monocrystalline semiconductor material by timed TMAH etching silicon; covering the cavity with a material inhibiting epitaxial growth; and growing a monocrystalline epitaxial layer above the substrate and the cavities. Thereby, the cavity is completely surrounded by monocrystalline material. Starting from this wafer, it is possible to form a thin membrane. The original wafer must have a plurality of elongate cavities or channels, parallel and adjacent to one another. Trenches are then excavated in the epitaxial layer as far as the channels, and the dividers between the channels are removed by timed TMAH etching.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an SOI (silicon on insulator) wafer includes the step of selective anisotropic etching to form, in the substrate, trenches which extend to a predetermined depth from a major surface of the substrate and between which pillar portions of the substrate are defined. The method further includes the step of selective isotropic etching to enlarge the trenches, starting at a predetermined distance from the major surface, thus reducing the thicknesses of the pillar portions of the substrate between adjacent trenches. Also, the method includes the steps of selective oxidation to convert the pillar portions of reduced thickness of the substrate into silicon dioxide and to fill the trenches with silicon dioxide, starting substantially from the predetermined distance, and epitaxial growth of a silicon layer on the major surface of the substrate. The method permits more freedom in the selection of the dimensional ratios between the trenches and the pillars and thus enables the necessary crystallographic quality of the epitaxial layer to be achieved, ensuring a continuous buried oxide layer.

    摘要: A process manufactures a wafer using semiconductor processing techniques. A bonding layer is formed on a top surface of a first wafer; a deep trench is dug in a substrate of semiconductor material belonging to a second wafer. A top layer of semiconductor material is formed on top of the substrate so as to close the deep trench at the top and form at least one buried cavity. The top layer of the second wafer is bonded to the first wafer through the bonding layer. The two wafers are subjected to a thermal treatment that causes bonding of at least one portion of the top layer to the first wafer and widening of the buried cavity. In this way, the portion of the top layer bonded to the first wafer is separated from the rest of the second wafer, to form a composite wafer.
