摘要

MEMS release etching of a sacrificial oxide layer plays an important role in fabricating movingrnparts in MEMS devices. Traditionally, wet chemistries have been used in order to achieve release etching,rnbut their use can create surface tension issues that can cause the MEMS microstructures to stick together. Itrnhas been demonstrated that using hydrofluoric acid (HF) vapor release etching can efficiently circumventrnthe stiction phenomenon because it substantially eliminates surface tension. Inorganic-based films such asrnsilicon nitride, alumina, SiC, polysilicon, etc., have been used as masking materials that are resistant tornvapor HF. These materials require very-high-temperature vacuum deposition techniques that are oftenrnlengthy, complicated, and costly. This paper presents novel spin-on polymeric HF-resistant blanket coatingrnmaterials that protect silicon oxide or metals against HF attack during HF vapor etching. These newlyrndeveloped polymeric coatings can be processed at lower temperatures (< 250oC) and are applied as thinrnfilms (10-15 μm) for extended HF vapor etching periods (longer than 1 hour). Hence, these HF vapor–rnresistant materials will enable the MEMS industry to significantly lower the cost of manufacturing MEMSrndevices and will significantly simplify the manufacturing process as well.
