摘要： A method for manipulating MEMS devices integrated on a semiconductor wafer and intended to be diced one from the other includes bonding of the semiconductor wafer including the MEMS devices on a support with interposition of a bonding sheet. The method may also include completely cutting or dicing of the semiconductor wafer into a plurality of independent MEMS devices, and processing the MEMS devices diced and bonded on the support in a treatment environment for semiconductor wafers. A support for manipulating MEMS devices is also included.

摘要： A process for manufacturing a MEMS device, wherein a bottom silicon region is formed on a substrate and on an insulating layer; a sacrificial region of dielectric is formed on the bottom region; a membrane region, of semiconductor material, is epitaxially grown on the sacrificial region; the membrane region is dug down to the sacrificial region so as to form through apertures; the side wall and the bottom of the apertures are completely coated in a conformal way with a porous material layer; at least one portion of the sacrificial region is selectively removed through the porous material layer and forms a cavity; and the apertures are filled with filling material so as to form a monolithic membrane suspended above the cavity. Other embodiments are directed to MEMS devices and pressure sensors.

摘要： The described process allows trenches to be etched in a structure comprising a support substrate and a multilayer, formed on the substrate, for the definition of wave guides of an integrated optical device and comprises a selective plasma attack in the multilayer through a masking structure that leaves uncovered areas of the multilayer corresponding to the trenches to be etched. Such a masking structure is obtained by forming a mask of metallic material on the multilayer that leaves uncovered the areas corresponding to the trenches to be etched and forming a mask of non-metallic material, for example photoresist, on it that leaves uncovered regions comprising at least part of the areas and an edge portion of the mask of metallic material.

摘要： The method is based on the use of an etching mask comprising silicon carbide or titanium nitride for removing a sacrificial region. In case of manufacture of integrated semiconductor material structures, the following steps are performed: forming a sacrificial region of silicon oxide on a substrate of semiconductor material; growing a pseudo-epitaxial layer; forming electronic circuit components; depositing a masking layer comprising silicon carbide or titanium nitride; defining photolithographically the masking layer so as to form an etching mask containing the topography of a microstructure to be formed; with the etching mask, forming trenches in the pseudo-epitaxial layer as far as the sacrificial region so as to laterally define the microstructure; and removing the sacrificial region through the trenches.
