    Abstract: A method includes forming a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) device on a front surface of a substrate. After the step of forming the MEMS device, a through-opening is formed in the substrate, wherein the through-opening is formed from a backside of the substrate. The through-opening is filled with a dielectric material, which insulates a first portion of the substrate from a second portion of the substrate. An electrical connection is formed on the backside of the substrate. The electrical connection is electrically coupled to the MEMS device through the first portion of the substrate.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) structures and methods of forming the same. Substrates of the MEMS structures are bonded together by fusion bonding at high processing temperatures, which enables more complete removal of chemical species from the dielectric materials in the substrates prior to sealing cavities of the MEMS structures. Fusion bonding of MEMS structures reduces outgassing of chemical species and is compatible with the cavity formation process. The MEMS structures bonded by fusion bonding are mechanically stronger compared to eutectic bonding due to a higher bonding ratio. In addition, fusion bonding enables the formation of through substrate vias (TSVs) in the MEMS structures.

    Abstract translation: 本公开内容包括微机电系统(MEMS)结构及其形成方法。 MEMS结构的衬底通过在高加工温度下的熔融粘合而结合在一起,这使得在MEMS结构的密封腔之前能够更好地从基板中的电介质材料中去除化学物质。 MEMS结构的熔合结合减少了化学物质的脱气,并且与腔形成过程相容。 通过熔接结合的MEMS结构由于较高的接合率而与共晶接合机械地更强。 此外,熔接可以在MEMS结构中形成贯穿衬底通孔(TSV)。

    Abstract: An HF vapor etch etches high aspect ratio openings to form MEMS devices and other tightly-packed semiconductor devices with 0.2 μm air gaps between structures. The HF vapor etch etches oxide plugs and gaps with void portions and oxide liner portions and further etches oxide layers that are buried beneath silicon and other structures and is ideally suited to release cantilevers and other MEMS devices. The HF vapor etches at room temperature and atmospheric pressure in one embodiment. A process sequence is provided that forms MEMS devices including cantilevers and lateral, in-plane electrodes that are stationary and vibration resistant.
