6 KOH based Anisotropic Etching For cavity formation KOH is the most popular etchant. Etch Rate: {110} > {100} >> {111} Used at elevated temperature (70-80 ºC) Etching mask Resist will not survive Oxide is attacked slowly Nitride is not attacked, best masking material
7 Thickness Calculation Of Etched thickness From micrometer readings, the value of x =.014 mm Y= x tan54.74 Y= mm Y= mm Y= μm (thickness ) 7

16 Integration of USM with MEMS Arrays of tool Alignment marks Silicon wafer compatibility Process sequence optimization Steep edges of the cavity Arrays of 3-D structures Any shape Economic in time Non toxic Integration with Microelectronics and MEMS processes
17 To Investigate/optimize Energy distribution from one to many tools Control of roughness Control over sharp geometries
18 USM- an overview, effort made for micromachining in pressure sensor Main component of USM consists of power supply, amplitude maintainer, horn, cutting tools, slurry hose and recirculation pump. USM principle states that a power supply that generates a 20 KHz signal when applied to piezoelectric transducer, converts high frequency electrical signal into mechanical motion. This mechanical motion from the converter is amplified using amplifier maintainer and transmitted to horn. Then it causes horn and milling tool vibrated perpendicularly to the wafer face 20,000 times per second. A recirculation pump forces slurry of abrasive material boron carbide between the tool face and work piece where flow speed of slurry can be controlled by slurry hose switch. The abrasive particles propelled by the tool strike the work piece at 150,000 times at their own weight. In this way USM etch the surface of the material as per applied tip.

33 Principle of piezoresistive pressure sensors When applied pressure from top towards the surface of the device, where diaphragm deforms under applied pressure, the thickness of the silicon diaphragm usually strain to a few micrometers. Above the diaphragm, we placed piezoresistors (polysilicon) in the form of Wheatstone bridge, where these piezoresistors convert the stresses induced in the silicon diaphragm by applied pressure into a change in electrical resistance, which is then converted into output voltage by Wheatstone bridge circuit as shown in given figure b. We get the output voltage by equation V R R 2 4 out V in R R R R Fig a Fig b
