3 INTRODUCTION This document provides detailed information on RIT s surface micromachine process. This process is capable of making many different types of MEMS devices. This MEMS fabrication process is CMOS compatible (with some modifications) back end module that can be added to realize compact microsystems (CMOS plus MEMS). This version is a simplified 4 or 5 photo level process to take advantage of 4 levels per plate maskmaking and to minimize the time to fabricate the devices. Page 3

68 USING NEGATIVE RESIST 1. Coat wafers with n-lof-2020 Image Reversal Resist, Use COATNLOF recipe on the SSI track HMDS prime: 140C, Dispense for 30s, Prime for 60s Manually dispense photoresist Spin at 2500 RPM, Spin for 60s, Thickness ~2100nm = 2.1um Soft Bake at 110C, Bake for 60s 2. Expose on the ASML Stepper use same mask as for etch process (clear field) Dose = 66 mj/cm 2 i-line (365nm), Focus = 0, NA = 0.60, Sigma= Develop on SSI Track using recipe DEVNLOF PEB (Image Reversal Bake) at 110C for 60s Spin and dispense developer for 5s, Dispense developer for 5s, Puddle develop for 70s, Spin and rinse for 30s at 1000 RPM. Spin dry for 30s at 3750 RPM, Do not hard bake. It can damage the sidewall profile. Hard Bake time = 0s 4. Etch 5. Remove Photoresist Page 68

72 HOMEWORK FABRICATION DETAILS 1. Draw a series of pictures that show the crossection and layout for your design project. From starting wafer to test. Not all of the steps but for most of the steps. 2. Provide a list of all recipes and a short description. 3. What data should be collected ie. at step 7 record oxide thickness, at step 9 take picture of resolution, at step?.. 4. Discuss how your device will be packaged. 5. Discuss how the devices you make will be tested. Describe any electronic circuits Page 72
