Fabrication of substrate and film in MEMS using CMP
The chemical and mechanical polishing (CMP) process has already been applied to micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMSs)
and it has become an indispensable and key technology for developing high-quality micro-and nano-devices. The introduction of zonal backing pressure and end point detection during the CMP process can not only guarantee a within-wafer nonuniformity of less than 5%
but it can also effectively minimize polish defects
including dishing and erosion. The application of CMP to MEMS is more challenging in terms of complexity
target selection
and surface quality
compared to its application to semiconductors. Together with the self-developed CMP process for silicon
dielectric layers
quartz
germanium
platinum
and polymers
the application of CMP technology in the MEMS field is discussed and elaborated in detail. The experimental results show that when the CMP process is combined with slurry improvement and megasonic cleaning methods
global film planarization is observed; moreover
a high-quality ultra-thin substrate
a hard free-damage strain film
and a bonding surface with a surface roughness of less than 0.5 nm for low-temperature direct bonding are obtained. CMP technology allows for the effective fabrication of a high-quality substrate and film for MEMS devices.
