摘要:
A micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) terminal structure of board-to-board electrical connector and manufacturing method thereof are provided. The terminal of the terminal structure includes a side arm, a bent portion, and a flexible arm integrally formed as one component. The flexible arm includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and the side arm form an insertion space. The second portion and the side arm form a locking space. The second portion of the flexible arm has a contact portion. The insertion space is greater than the locking space. The terminal has curved and locking features to extend the moment arm of the terminal for improving the terminal flexibility. The terminal contacts a mating terminal through multiple points, thereby improving the contact stability and providing the locking function. Furthermore, by using the MEMS techniques for semiconductor industries, the terminal of micro board-to-board electrical connector can be manufactured.

The invention relates to a one-piece metal component including an electroformed metal body, the external surface of the body including, only over or to a predetermined depth, less trapped hydrogen than the rest of the electroformed metal body causing a hardening relative to the rest of the body in order to improve the wear resistance of the one-piece component while preserving a relative magnetic permeability of less than 10 and the ability to be driven or pressed fit.

A method of manufacturing a metal microstructure (1) by using a resin mold (13). In order to provide a method in which a mild manufacturing condition which causes less damage to the resin mold (13) can be set and the high-precision metal microstructure (1) can be mass-produced by uniform electroforming, the method of manufacturing the metal microstructure (1) according to the present invention includes the steps of: fixing on a conductive substrate (11) the resin mold (13) having a vacant portion penetrating in the direction of thickness, by interposing a photosensitive polymer (12) having a chemical composition changed by an electron beam, ultraviolet radiation or visible radiation so as to form a layered structure (2) having the resin mold (13); exposing the layered structure (2) having the resin mold (13) to an electron beam, ultraviolet radiation or visible radiation; removing an exposed photosensitive polymer (12c) existing at the vacant portion of the resin mold (13); and filling with a metal (14) the vacant portion of the layered structure (2) having the resin mold (13) by electroforming.

摘要:
A stamper-forming electrode material contains Ag as its main ingredient and at least one other element, preferably Au and/or Cu. It is preferred that the Au and Cu contents each be 5.0 wt % or less. A stamper-forming thin film is made of this stamper-forming electrode material, whereby its corrosion resistance is improved to suppress damage to itself, and a high-quality stamper can hence be formed.

This invention relates to the area of microelectromechanical systems in which electronic circuits and mechanical devices are integrated on the same silicon chip. The method taught herein allows the fabrication of thin film structures in excess of 150 microns in height using thin film deposition processes. Wafers may be employed as reusable molds for efficient production of such structures.

Surface micromachining and bulk micromachining are employed for realizing a porous membrane with bulk support for a microparticle filter. The filter is manufactured by a process employing a thin film etch-stop, in which the bulk substrate is etched using a first etching process followed by etching of the etch stop and of material within pores of a filter layer using a second etching process. The filter is sufficiently sturdy to allow for easy handling. It may be used as a diffusion barrier and under high pressures. The disclosed fabrication method is simple, reliable, and integrated-circuit compatible, and thus amenable to mass production. Electronic circuitry may be integrated on the filter surface, as may be desired for several purposes, such as fluid characterization, filter self-cleaning, or charging of the filter surfaces. Methods are shown for the realization of biological containment capsules based on this microfilter.
