Manufacturing costs for microsystems/MEMS using high aspect ratio microfabrication techniques

The emphasis on high aspect ratio micromachining techniques for microsystems/MEMS has been mainly to achieve novel devices with, for example, high sensing or actuation performance. Often these utilize deep structures (100–1,000 lm) with vertical wall layers but with relatively modest spatial resolution (1–10 lm). As these techniques move from research to industrial manufacture, the capital cost...

Quality Based Design and Design for Reliability of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Using Probabilistic Methods

The paper demonstrates the use of probabilistic methods to assess the electromechanical behavior of micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) under the presence of micromachining manufacturing and process uncertainties. Probabilistic Methods are used to assess uncertainties involved in the manufacturing of MEMS devices. Probabilistic methods guide the design of these devices to achieve a robust an...

Laser fabrication and assembly processes for MEMS

This paper discusses the use of high power lasers in the manufacture of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The ability to process a wide range of materials, and to produce truly three-dimensional structures with tolerances at the micron or sub-micron level, give laser micromachining some key advantages over other more established micromachining techniques. Previous work in this area is revi...

Laser processes for MEMS manufacture

This paper discusses the use of excimer lasers in the manufacture of microelectromechanical devices and systems. With emphasis on two application areas: laser micromachining of polymer masters for replication in metal by electroplating (Laser-LIGA), and laser-assisted manipulation of microparts for hybrid assembly. As a master fabrication method, laser micromachining offers advantages over conv...

A Quick Overview of Micromachining for MEMS Designers

0. Introduction Micromachining techniques have been developed on the basis of the microelectronic fabrication technology. Microfabrication is a generic term that is also used to imply micromachining. What makes micromachining different from microelectronic fabrication technology is the need to have a released mechanical structure that can move either like a rigid body (as in translation, rotati...
