    摘要: Inter-connectors are typically used for interconnecting electronic components. Interconnections between electronic components are generally classified into at least two broad categories of “relatively permanent” and “readily demountable”. A “readily demountable” connector includes a spring-like contact structure of one electronic component for connecting to a terminal of another electronic component. The spring-like contact structure, also known as an inter-connector, generally requires a certain amount of contact force to effect reliable pressure contact to a terminal of an electronic component. Therefore, the shape and metallurgy of the inter-connector are important factors in determining the effectiveness of the inter-connector for making pressure connection to a terminal of the electronic component. Conventional methods of making such an inter-connector use lithographic and planarisation methods to “make” the inter-connectors in segments. This results in the inter-connector segments having joints therebetween. Metallurgically, the joint stress due to joining a pair of inter-connector segments and stress concentration at the joints due forces applied to the inter-connector can lead to the mechanical failure of the inter-connector in Mathieu. An embodiment of the invention uses lithographic techniques and heat treatment methods for forming a structure channel defining the shape and dimension of an inter-connector. The structure channel is then used to “mold” a reproduction of the inter-connector having a single continuous physical segment.

    摘要: A substrate having target transfer regions thereon is provided. A sacrificial wafer is coated with a polymer layer with low adhesion to metals. A conductive layer is coated on the polymer layer and covered with a photoresist layer which is patterned to provide openings to the conductive layer. Thin film and passive or active device structures are formed on the conductive layer within the openings. The substrate is bonded to the sacrificial wafer wherein the thin film and passive or active device structures and the photoresist layer provide the bonding and wherein the thin film and passive or active device structures contact the substrate at the target transfer regions. The photoresist is stripped in a high frequency agitation bath wherein the photoresist separates from the sacrificial wafer and wherein the thin film and passive or active device structures separate from the polymer layer to complete transfer bonding.

    摘要: A method is described to form a MOSFET with a fully silicided gate electrode and fully silicided, raised S/D elements that are nearly coplanar to allow a wider process margin when forming contacts to silicided regions. An insulator block layer is formed over STI regions and a conformal silicidation stop layer such as Ti/TiN is disposed on the insulator block layer and active region. A polysilicon layer is deposited on the silicidation stop layer and is planarized by a CMP process to form raised S/D elements. An oxide hardmask on the gate electrode is removed to produce a slight recess between the spacers. A silicidation process yields a gate electrode and raised S/D elements comprised of NiSi. Optionally, a recess is formed in the substrate between an insulator block mask and spacer and a Schottky barrier is used instead of a silicidation stop layer to form a Schottky Barrier MOSFET.

    摘要: A process for fabricating an integrated circuit sensor/actuator is described. High aspect ratio deep silicon beams are formed by a process of deep trench etch and silicon undercut release etch by using oxide spacers to protect the silicon beam sidewalls during release etch. An oxide layer is then formed, followed by deposition of a controlled thickness of polysilicon which is then thermally oxidized. The polysilicon layer inside the trenches gets fully oxidized resulting in void-free trench isolation. This process creates a silicon island or beam on three sides leaving the third side for interfacing with the sensor/actuator beams. The sensor/actuator is formed by a similar process of deep trench etch and release etch process on the same substrate. These suspended beams of the sensors and actuators are bridged with the silicon islands from the fourth side. The above process finally results in suspended silicon beams connected to electrically isolated silicon islands.
