    摘要: A method of forming a via hole through a glass wafer includes depositing a material layer on an outer surface of the glass wafer, the material layer having a selection ratio higher than that of the glass wafer, forming a via-patterned portion on one side of the material layer, performing a first etching in which the via-patterned portion is etched to form a preliminary via hole, eliminating any remaining patterning material used in the formation of the via-patterned portion, performing a second etching in which the preliminary via hole is etched to form a via hole having a smooth surface and extending through the glass wafer, and eliminating the material layer. The method according to the present invention is able to form a via hole through a glass wafer without allowing formation of an undercut or minute cracks, thereby increasing the yield and reliability of MEMS elements.

    摘要: Method for fabricating a gyroscope including: fabricating a SMS wafer where a first wafer, a metal film, and a second wafer are sequentially stacked; forming a cantilever or a bridge shaped-structure on the relevant portion of the first wafer through the photolithography process; attaching to the surface of the first wafer, a first cap made of glass and having a predetermined space for sealing the movable structure in a vacuum state; separating and removing the metal film and the second wafer from the first wafer; and attaching to the backside of the first wafer, the second cap which is structurally and materially symmetric to the first cap. The SMS wafer is fabricated by depositing the metal film on the second wafer and bonding the first wafer on the metal film using metal paste or material of polymer series. With lower material costs, improvements in performance and characteristics can be achieved.
