    Abstract: A method for fabricating a MEMS device having a fixing part fixed to a substrate, a connecting part, a driving part, a driving electrode, and contact parts, includes patterning the driving electrode on the substrate; forming an insulation layer on the substrate; patterning the insulation layer and etching a fixing region and a contact region of the insulation layer; forming a metal layer over the substrate; planarizing the metal layer until the insulation layer is exposed; forming a sacrificial layer on the substrate; patterning the sacrificial layer to form an opening exposing a portion of the insulation layer and the metal layer in the fixing region; forming a MEMS structure layer on the sacrificial layer to partially fill the opening, thereby forming sidewalls therein; and selectively removing a portion of the sacrificial layer by etching so that a portion of the sacrificial layer remains in the fixing region.

    Abstract: A fabrication method for a MEMS structure, the MEMS structure including a fixing portion fixed to the substrate and a floating portion floating above the substrate. A sacrificial layer deposited on the substrate is patterned to have a groove forming a space surrounding the area corresponding to the area in which the fixing portion is to be formed. If the MEMS structure is deposited on the sacrificial layer, a sidewall is formed inside the space and the fixing portion and the floating portion are formed on the sacrificial layer. If the sacrificial layer is removed using an etchant, the sacrificial layer at the bottom of the fixing portion is protected from the etchant by the sidewall and accordingly, the sacrificial layer except the area surrounded by the sidewall is removed. Therefore, only the sacrificial layer under the floating portion is removed. Because the connecting portion is fabricated to have the same thickness as the fixing portion and the floating portion, a strong/durable MEMS structure is provided. Additionally, the boundary between the fixing portion and the floating portion can be precisely determined, and adjustment of the length of the floating portion can be precisely controlled.
