MEMS Processing Wafers

MEMS Processing Wafers

Deep silicon etching and silicon anisotropic wet etching (using KOH TMAH, etc.) are possible.
Wafer sizes are compatible with 100mm 150mm 200mm 300mm.
Processing of minute dimensions may be a development project, so please contact us for details.

1. Preparation of silicon Bosch etching pattern

The SEM photo below is an example of a pattern formed on a silicon substrate using Bosch etching.
The technical difficulty of manufacturing varies depending on pattern dimensions and pattern density, so please contact us for details.

Trench Pattern
Width: 0.4 um
Depth: 18 um

Dense Pillar Pattern
Diameter: 50um
Depth: 340um

Sparse Pillar Pattern
Diameter: 60um
Depth: 200um

2. Preparation of silicon anisotropic wet etching pattern

The above SEM photo is an example of wet etching with TMAH using a silicon substrate with a (100) surface orientation.
Because the etching rate of the (111) silicon surface is slow, a sloped surface is formed.

3. Machining for making through holes in 300mm silicon wafers

A through hole can be formed in a silicon substrate (diameter 300mm, thickness 775um).
It is an inexpensive processing technology because it does not use dry etching.
