Summary of Introduction• MEMS (U.S.) Sometimes Microsystems in Europe.
• MEMS=MicroElectroMechanical Systems
• Very broad definition in practice: Mechanical, Electrical, Optical, Thermal, Fluidic, Chemical, Magnetic.
• Generally systems created using microfabrication that are not integrated circuits. Many (but not all) of the microfabrication techniques were borrowed from the IC industry.
• Market is smaller than IC market, but more diverse and growing faster.
![Page 2: Summary of Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568139c7550346895da173cd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Some Examples• Accelerometer
– Electrical/Mechanical
• TAS or Micro Total Analysis System– Purifies, amplifies, and detects DNA, for example.
– Fluids/Biochemistry/Optical/Electrical
• TI DLP– Optical/Mechanical/Electrical/Surface Science
• Microrelay– Mechanical/Electrical/Surface Science
• Microplasma Source– Electrical/Electromagnetic/Plasma
• What do you need to know for MEMS?
• Everything???!!!
• Truly an interdisciplinary field.

What are we going to do?• Learn a useful subset of techniques needed for designing MEMS
devices. Not all!!
• We will design MEMS devices.– Project teaming survey is due Friday – see web site.
– Project assignment is on the web site.
• We will discuss examples of MEMS devics and use the techniques we have developed.
• First we will look at microfabrication and process integration.
• Other notes:– First homework is due today. (Some flexibility here – students joining class, thurn-
in mechanism …)
– Second homework is due on Tuesday.

Microfabrication: Types of Micromachining for MEMS
• Bulk Micromachining– Etch away large parts of the silicon wafer.
– Traditionally, KOH or other chemical etch.
– Recently DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etch), an anisotropic plasma etch.
• Surface micromachining– On surface of wafer/substrate
– Sometimes can be a post-process on top of CMOS wafer for process integration with electronics.
– Typically much thinner structures than bulk micromachining, but metal structures can be fairly thick.
• LIGA– X-ray lithographie, galvanoformung, abformtechnik (or lithography,
electrodeposition, and molding).
– A special type of surface micromachining, not much used in its original form.
– Now sometimes refers to using very thick photoresist to make thick electroplated structures.

Packaging• Ideally, part of fabrication process, then just use a cheap plastic
package.
• Often, a surface micromachined device is bonded to a bulk micromachined package (the cavity to contain the device is etched from the wafer using bulk micromachining).
• Sometimes the package is the most expensive part of the device (pressure sensors, microfluidics). Especially true when the device interacts with the outside environment.

More compressive on top
Just right! The bottom line: anneal poly between oxides with similar phosphorous content. ~1000C for ~60 seconds is enough.

DRIE structures
• Increased capacitance for actuation and sensing
• Low-stress structures– single-crystal Si only
structural material
• Highly stiff in vertical direction– isolation of motion to
wafer plane– flat, robust structures
