BONDED WAFER OPTICAL MEMS PROCESS

摘要

A microelectromechanical system is fabricated from a substrate having a handle layer, a silicon sacrificial layer and a device layer. A micromechanical structure is etched in the device layer and the underlying silicon sacrificial layer is etched away to release the micromechanical structure for movement. One particular micromechanical structure described is a micromirror.
