1 Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics University of Pennsylvania A glimpse of MEMS Presented to MEAM 550 (Fall 2001) students G. K. Ananthasuresh September 17, 2001
2 What s in a name? Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Widely used in Americas. MicroSystems Technology (MST) Popular in Europe. Micromachines Used in Japan. Microscience Some people prefer to call it this way as they begin to explore scientific aspects of MEMS.
3 Outline What are they? How small are they? How are they useful? How do they work? What are they made of? How are they made? How do you design them? What are the modeling and design issues and challenges for us?
4 A MEMS design question What does this mean? 1. MEMS field is somewhat mature because people are asking routine questions about how to design them. 2. There must be something different about designing them. 3. There is a need to learn the basics of the field and be familiar with the jargon of the field. And so we begin
5 What are they? MEMS are systems that integrate sensing actuation computation control communication power They are smaller more functional faster less power-consuming and cheaper!
6 How small are they? Nanotechnology Microsystems Meso Macrosystems 10 nm 1 um 100 um 10 mm 1 m 0 A 1 nm 0.1 um 10 um 1 mm 100 mm 10 m Atoms Molecules DNA Nanostructures Virus Smallest microelectronic features Bacteria Biological cells Dust particles Dia. of human hair MEMS Optical fibers Packaged ICs Packaged MEMS Lab-on-a-chip Plain old machines Humans Animals Plamts Planes, trains, and automobiles Micro-machining Nano-machining Precision machining Macro-machining
7 Why are they small? Micro size is almost incidental. They are small because of the technologies used to make them. And it is economical to make them small when made in large volumes just like microelectronics. Of course, there are some MEMS devices that would not work if they are any bigger.
8 A bit of history There is plenty of room at the bottom - A 1959 lecture by Richard Feynman Pioneered by Professor James Angell at Stanford University, researchers at Westinghouse in late 1960 s into 1970 s Infinitesimal Machinery - A 1983 lecture by Richard Feynman Formal identity ( MEMS ) to the field came in late1980 s
9 What (more) are they? Early on Solid state transducers And later Integrated systems MEMS sensors actuators are batch fabricated are economical have more functionality involve physical, chemical, biochemical phenomena at small scales act upon macro scale too Take leverage of the enormously successful VLSI technology
10 How are they useful Commercial successes Pressure sensors Accelerometers Ink-jet printer heads Projection display with micro mirror array Portable clinical analyzers etc. Movable solids and fluids at microscale made possible lots and lots of sensors and actuators.
11 More applications Inertial measurement devices Accelerometers, gyroscopes Mass data storage Opto-mechanical devices Projection displays, photonics, optics-on-a-chip Flow control Bio-chemical lab-on-a-chip Communication hardware Mechanical filters, RF-switches and relays Chemical microreactors Power MEMS Micro engines, generators

17 How do they work? Accelerometer Side view V Top view
18 How do they work? TI s digital light processor torsional beam Tiltable mirror torsional beam actuating electrode 1 actuating electrode 2

23 How do they work? A diaphragm pump Diaphragm V Passive inlet valve Passive outlet valve
24 Outline What are they? How small are they? How are they useful How do they work? What are they made of? How are they made?
25 What are they made of? Phase 1: Old materials and old processes Silicon, its oxide, nitride, and some metals IC-chip processing technology Lithography Thin film deposition (e.g., chemical vapor deposition CVD) Etching Doping Phase 2: Old materials and new processes Silicon, its oxide, nitride, glass, polysilicon, and some metals IC-chip processing techniques enhanced as micromachining techniques Sacrificial layer process Dissolved wafer process Wafer bonding LIGA Hexil Deep reactive ion etching Etc.
26 What are they made of (contd.) Phase 3: New materials and old processes Polymers More metals Ceramics Silicon carbide Piezoelectric films Ferroelectric films Shape-memory materials, etc. e.g., PDMS George Whitesides at Harvard Phase 4: New materials and new processes Processes unconventional to the microelectronic field Processes that re-define the size of MEMS micro to meso or nano Deposition and etching for the new materials
27 How are they made? Surface micromachining Deposition of thin films (mainly polysilicon) Etching using masks Layered construction Bulk-micromachining Carving features into bulk wafers by etching Wafer bonding Patterning individual wafers Wafer-to-wafer bonding LIGA HEXIL
28 Micromachining is not precision machining! Precision machining Relative tolerance (feature to part size) is better than For micromachinig, it is 10-2 to Roughly what we have for building houses. With micromachining, You can make it small, but not precisely. (at least not yet. Wait for nanotechnology )
29 Surface micromachining Deposit or grow silicon dioxide Silicon wafer Pattern the oxide using a mask Deposit polysilicon Pattern polysilicon Sacrifice oxide layer by dissolving The sacrificial layer process to make released structures (Berkeley)
30 Isotropic etching Types of etching With agitation Without agitation Anisotropic etching (111) plane (111) (100) silicon (110) silicon Slanted surfaces
31 Bulk micromachining Etch using a mask Boron doping using a mask Silicon wafer Flip and bond to a glass Glass Dissolve undoped silicon Boron doped dissolved wafer process (Michigan)

39 How much should we know about u-fab?
40 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 he 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) See
41 Visualize the process steps from a device cross section Visualizing a process from a cross-section. How was this made? See
42 MEMS Foundries You don t have to make them if you don t want to or can t. Cronos MUMPs (formerly MCNC s MUMPs) Now, owned and operated by Uniphase.

52 Packaging! Packaging access to and protection from the external macro world Packaging is a big problem with MEMS. Sometimes, it may be better not integrate sensor/actuator and electronics. Packaging serves Signal redistribution Mechanical support Power distribution Thermal management Fluidic fittings Etc. Some techniques Ball and wire bonding Flip-chip Sandia s process Research continues
53 Outline What are they? How small are they? How are they useful How do they work? What are they made of? How are they made? How do you design them? What are the modeling and design issues and challenges for us?
54 Modeling and design of MEMS What is different? Integration of sensor, actuator, mechanism, processor, power, and communication makes system level tasks challenging -- common representation for multiple energy domains Device level too has multiple energy domains -- macromodels Component level -- coupled energy domain equations Mask level -- geometric modeling
55 Modeling and design of MEMS System Representing as block diagrams of multi-domain subsystems Device Reduced order macro models of the components Component (physical) Multiple, coupled energy behavioral simulations Artwork of masks and process Defining mask geometry for the process steps Each level involves design There is analysis (forward) problem and synthesis (inverse) problem.
56 The future of MEMS? The proverb: Forecasting is difficult, especially the future. (from Chinese fortune cookies) In any case, MEMS will impact the following industries: Automotive Aerospace Biomedical/bio-tech Health-care Telecommunication Information technology
