    摘要: A method of fabricating a MEMS device includes performing an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process to deposit a barrier layer such as Aluminum Oxide (AI2O3) having a thickness on a sacrificial layer deposited on a substrate. A portion of the barrier layer is removed to form an etched structure defined as a trench. An epi-polysilicon cap layer is epitaxially growth on the barrier layer and the entire etched structure. A portion of the epi-polysilicon cap layer has been removed to form a plurality of openings. The sacrificial layer is etched away leaving a cavity below the etched openings. A refill epi-polysilicon layer is epitaxially grown in the openings and seals the entire openings after a gap is formed between the cap layer and the substrate.

    摘要: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device includes a high density getter. The high density getter includes a silicon surface area formed by porosification or by the formation of trenches within a sealed cavity of the device. The silicon surface area includes a deposition of titanium or other gettering material to reduce the amount of gas present in the sealed chamber such that a low pressure chamber is formed. The high density getter is used in bolometers and gyroscopes but is not limited to those devices.
