20090004765 | Method of manufacturing micro-optic device - A micro-optic device including a complicate structure and a movable mirror is made to be manufactured in a reduced length of time. A silicon substrate and a single crystal silicon device layer with an intermediate layer of silicon dioxide interposed therebetween defines a substrate on which a layer of mask material is formed and is patterned to form a mask having the same pattern as the configuration of the intended optical device as viewed in plan view. A surface which is to be constricted as a mirror surface is chosen to be in a plane of the silicon crystal. Using the mask, the device layer is vertically etched by a reactive ion dry etching until the intermediate layer is exposed. Subsequently, using KOH solution, a wet etching which is anisotropic to the crystallographic orientation is performed with an etching rate which is on the order of 0.1 μm/min for a time interval on the order of ten minutes is performed to convert the sidewall surface of the mirror into a smooth crystallographic surface. Subsequently, the intermediate layer is selectively subject to a wet etching to remove the intermediate layer only in an area located below the movable part of the optical device. | 01-01-2009 |
20090146228 | Microminiature moving device - A microminiature moving device has disposed on a single-crystal silicon substrate movable elements such as a movable rod and a movable comb electrode that are displaceable in parallel to the substrate surface and stationary parts that are fixedly secured to the single-crystal silicon substrate with an insulating layer sandwiched between. Depressions are formed in the surface regions of the single-crystal silicon substrate where no stationary parts are present and the movable parts are positioned above the depressions. The depressions form gaps large enough to prevent foreign bodies from causing shorts and malfunctioning of the movable parts. | 06-11-2009 |
