14 14 Visualize device from a verbal description of the process Being able to draw the process flow diagrams from a description. Shallow pits were etched into n-type substrates, and p-type deflection electrodes were diffused in the above pits, followed by fusion bonding of a second wafer above the first. The top wafer was then ground and polished down to a thickness of 6 um. A passivation layer was then formed on the top wafer and sensing piezoesistors were formed using ion implantation, after which contact holes for metallization to connect to the diffused deflection electrodes were etched. Bond pads and interconnect metallization were then deposited and patterned, followed by etching of the diaphragm from the back of the wafer. Finally, two slots were etched next to the beam to release it over the buried cavity. (Petersen et al., 1991)

69 69 Why LTCC tapes? Easily Machinable: In the green state, ceramic tape are soft, pliable, and easily machinable. The material facilitates easy fabrication of mesoscopic features (100 µm 10 mm). In the fired state, features can be machined using diamond tools, abrasive jets, and lasers. Tailored properties: It is possible to cast tapes of various ceramic compositions to obtain desirable properties. Laminated 3-D structures: Large number of layers can be laminated to form 3-D structures. Easy integration of electronics: A well developed thick film technology facilitates the deposition of various metals and electrical components on the tapes in the green state and the formation of threedimensional interconnects. Hybrid structures: It is possible to fabricate hybrid structures consisting of ceramics, glass, polyimides.
