Water-soluble sacrificial layers for surface micromachining.
This manuscript describes the use of water-soluble polymers for use as sacrificial layers in surface micromachining. Water-soluble polymers have two attractive characteristics for this application: 1) They can be deposited conveniently by spin-coating, and the solvent removed at a low temperature (95-150 degrees C), and 2) the resulting layer can be dissolved in water; no corrosive reagents or ...
متن کاملThick-layer resists for surface micromachining
Interest in thick-photoresist applications is steadily growing. In addition to bump fabrication and wire interconnect technology (WIT), the process of patterning thick-layer photoresists by UV lithography is specially qualified for applications in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Specialized equipment and new photoresists have been developed or are under development to cope with the new c...
متن کاملReleasing high aspect ratio SU-8 microstructures using AZ photoresist as a sacrificial layer on metallized Si substrates
This paper presents a successful method for releasing high aspect ratio SU-8 micro-structures by the use of positive photoresist (AZ 4620) as sacrificial layer. The AZ 4620 photoresist sacrificial layer was dissolved by the SU-8 developer (propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate). Thus, this process reduces the need for complex microfabrication steps and equipments which are otherwise require...
متن کاملSacrificial etching of AlxGa1−xAs for III–V MEMS surface micromachining
A study of AlxGa1−xAs as a sacrificial film for surface micromachining is presented. AlxGa1−xAs etch rate and selectivity are measured over a range of aluminum mole fractions and HF etchant concentrations during the release of structural features up to 500 μm in width. The etch process is found to be diffusion limited, with an inverse power law relationship between etch depth and etch rate. Exc...
متن کاملLow-Surface-Energy Photoresist as a Medium for Optical Replication
In these applications, a master surface relief is created by exposing photoresist through a suitably designed grayscaleintensity mask. Development of the resist produces a profiled surface according to the mask transmittance and exposure. Components can be replicated from this master by contact molding; this requires a release layer to insure the master and replicant can be separated without da...
