Method for forming suspended microstructures

摘要

A method for forming a suspended microstructure is provided. The method includes providing a monocrystalline target substrate and subjecting the surface of the monocrystalline target substrate to ion implantation to form a microstructure layer at the surface of the monocrystalline target substrate. An epitaxial material layer is formed overlying the microstructure layer. A handle substrate is provided and a patterned interposed material layer is provided between the epitaxial material layer and the handle substrate. The epitaxial material layer, the patterned interposed material layer and the handle substrate are affixed. The method further includes thermally treating the monocrystalline target substrate to effect separation between the microstructure layer and a remainder of the monocrystalline target substrate.
