This paper describes anodic bonding characteristics of MCA to Si-wafer using evaporated Pyrex #7740 glass thin-films for MEMS applications. Pyrex #7740 glass thin-films with the same properties were deposited on MCA under optimum RF sputter conditions (Ar 100 %, input power $1\;W/cm^2$). After annealing at $450^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr, the anodic bonding of MCA to Si-wafer was successfully performed at 600 V, $400^{\circ}C$ in $110^{-6}$ Torr vacuum condition. Then, the MCA/Si bonded interface and fabricated Si diaphragm deflection characteristics were analyzed through the actuation and simulation test. It is possible to control with accurate deflection of Si diaphragm according to its geometries and its maximum non-linearity being 0.05-0.08 %FS. Moreover, any damages or separation of MCNSi bonded interfaces did not occur during actuation test. Therefore, it is expected that anodic bonding technology of MCNSi-wafers could be usefully applied for the fabrication process of high-performance piezoelectric MEMS devices.

본 논문은 파이렉스 #7740 유리 박막을 이용한 MEMS용 MLCA (Multi Layer Ceramic Actuator)와 Si기판의 양극접합 특성에 관한 것이다. 최적의 RF 마그네트론 스피터링 조건 (Ar 100%, input power $1\;W/cm^2$)하에서 MLCA기판위에 파이렉스 #7740 유리의 특성을 갖는 박막을 증착하였다. $450^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리한 다음, -760 mmHg, 600V 그리고 $400^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안 양극접합했다. 그 다음에 Si 다이어프램을 제조한 후, MLCA/Si 접합계면과 MLCA 구동을 통한 Si 다이어프램 변위특성을 분석 및 평가하였다. 다이어프램 형상에 따라 정밀한 변위 세어가 가능했으며 0.05-0.08 %FS의 우수한 선형성을 나타내었다. 또한, 측정동안 접합계면 균열이나 계면분리가 일어나지 않았다. 따라서, MLCA/Si기판 양각접합기술은 고성능 압전 MEMS 소자 제작공정에 유용하게 사용가능할 것이다.

Indentation pattern and line pattern were machined on borosilicate(Pyrex 7740 glass) surface using the combination of mechanical machining by $Nanoi-indenter\circledR$ XP and HF wet etching, and a etch-mask effect of the affected layer of the nano-scratched and indented Pyrex 7740 glass surface was investigated. In this study, effects of indentation and scratch process with etching time on the morphologies of the indented and scratched surfaces after isotropic etching were investigated from an angle of deformation energies.

This study describes a new mastless nano-fabrication technique of Pyrex 7740 glass using the combination of nanomachining by nano-indenter XP and HF wet etching. First, the surface of a Pyrex 7740 glass specimen was machined by using the nano-machining system, which utilizes the mechanism of the nano-indenter XP. Next, the specimen was etched by HF solution. After the etching process, the convex structure or deeper hole is made because of masking or promotion effect of the affected layer generated by nano-machining. On the basis of this interesting fact. some sample structures were fabricated.

Stamps for microcontact processing are fabricated by casting elastomer such as PDMS on a master with a negative of the desired pattern. After curing, the PDMS stamp is peeled away from the master and exposed to a solution of ink and then dried. Transfer of the ink from the PDMS stamp to the substrate occurs during a brief contact between stamp and substrate. Generally, negative-tone masters, which are used for making positive-tone PDMS stamps, are fabricated by using photolithographic technique. The shortcomings of photolithography are a relative high-cost process and require extensive processing time and heavy capital investment to build and maintain the fabrication facilities. The goal of this study is to fabricate a negative-tone master by using Nano-indenter based patterning technique. Various sizes of V-grooves and U-groove were fabricated by using the combination of nanoscratch and HF isotropic etching technique. An achieved negative-tone structure was used as a master in the PDMS replica molding process to fabricate a positive-tone PDMS stamp.

In nanomachining processes, chemical effects are more dominant factor compared with physical deformation. For example, during the nanoscratch on a silicon surface in the atmosphere, micro protuberances are formed due to the mechanochemical reaction between the diamond tip and the surface. On the contrary, in case of chemically stable materials, such as ceramics or glasse, the surface protuberance are not formed. The purpose of this study is to understand effects of the mechanochemical reaction between tip and surfaces on deformation behaviors of hard-brittle materials. Nanometerscale elasoplastic deformation behavior of single crystal silicon (100) was characterized with the surface protuberance phenomena, and compared with that of borosilicate (Pyrex glass 7740).

Anodic bonding is a key technology for micromechanical components. The main advantages of this method can be formed in a batch process, over large areas, and is permanent and irreversible. In this paper, the bonding was performed at temperatures ranging from 300 to 450 $^{\circ}C$, voltages 400 to 1000 V, and times 10 to 30 minutes. The sizes of the Si and the Pyrex #7740 glass were 6 mm $\times$6 mm, respectively. Bonding processes and voids were observed by the optical microscope, and the composition of the anodic bonding interface was analyzed by the SIMS. Optimum condition of the anodic bonding was at temperature above 40$0^{\circ}C$ without regard to voltage.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a hyperfine maskless writing technique by using the nanoindentation and HF wet etching technique. Indents were made on the surface of Pyrex7740 glass by the hyperfine indentation process with a Berkovich diamond indenter, and they were etched in $50\;wr\%$ HF solution. After etching process, convex structure was obtained due to the deformation-induced hillock phenomena. In this study, effects of indentation process parameters (etching time, normal load, loading .ate, hold-time at the maximum load) on the morphologies of the indented surfaces after isotopic etching were investigated from an angle of deformation energies. Finally, sample characters were written to show the possibility of the application.

다중 채널 전극 위에 세포를 성장시켜 전극면을 통해 검출되는 신경 신호의 손실을 줄이고 주파수의 변형을 줄이기 위해서 전극과 전해질의 사이의 impedance를 줄이는 것이 바람직하다. 전하 이동을 증대시키기 위해서는 낮은 impedance가 요구되며 이를 위한 전극의 개선 방안으로 전극면이 증착될 기판의 표면을 거칠게 하여 결과적으로 전극면의 표면적을 넓히는 방법을 모색하였다. 기판으로 사용되는 glass(Pyrex#7740)의 구성 물질 중에서 4%를 차지하는 $N^+$ 이온을 황산 용액으로 표면 처리하여 제거함으로써 매끈한 표면을 거칠게 하여 표면적을 넓힐 수 있다. 기판으로 사용되는 glass (pyrex#7740) $1cm{\times}1cm{\times}0.05cm$를 50%, 95% 농도의 황산 용액 내에서 각각 30분, 60분 동안 상온에서 표면처리를 진행하였다. AFM을 이용하여 표면을 관찰한 결과 황산 용액 95%에서 30분간 표면 처리를 진행한 시편에서 최대 $4000{\AA}$정도의 조도를 얻었다. 이후 동일 시편에 대해 전극으로 사용될 Ti/Au를 각각 $500{\AA}/2500{\AA}$ 증착 후 사진식각 공정으로 MEA(Multi-channel electrode array)를 제작하여 impedance를 측정한 결과, 표면 처리 후 impedance가 70% 개선되었음을 측정하였다.
