지난 세기부터 MEMS 제작 기술을 이용하여 만들어진 시스템들을 의학이나 생물학적인 용도로 응용하기 위한 많은 연구가 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 기술적인 측면에서 이러한 연구들은 MEMS 분야의 초창기에 강조되어 온 표면 및 몸체 미세 가공 기술(surface ＆ bulk micromachining)과 같은 미세 구조물 제작 기술의 발전에 힘입은 바 크다. 그러나 MEMS 기술이 점차 발전되어 오면서, 가공 기술이 고도화되고 미세 시스템의 구조가 점차 복잡해짐에 따라, 많은 연구들이 단순한 가공기술을 넘어 미세 시스템을 조립하고 집적화할 수 있는 기술, 접합 (bonding) 기술, 패키징 (packaging) 기술, 3차원 형상의 제작 기술, 실리콘(silicon)이나 유리(glass)가 아닌 다른 재료를 이용한 미세 가공 기술 등의 개발을 중심으로 이루어지고 있다.(중략)

We report experimental results on the periodic patterning using a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser (800nm, 100fs, 1kHz). Periodic structures with reproducible basic patterns are produced both on the surface and inside transparent materials. Period patterning for the application to display panel is widely investigated. Also, the submicron dot and line patterns are fabricated inside fused silica glass, which is important for the formation of diffraction grating in integrated optical circuit. finally, we demonstrate the utility of the femtosecond laser application to optical memory by fabricating the three-dimensional dot patterns.

This paper presents an electro-thermal modeling of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) uncooled microbolometer. This modeling provides a comprehensive solution for simulating the electro-thermal characteristics of the fabricated microbolometer and enables electro-thermal co-simulation between MEMS and CMOS integrated circuits. To validate this model, three types of uncooled microbolometers were fabricated using a post-CMOS surface micromachining process. The simulation results show a maximum discrepancy of 2.6% relative to the experimental results.

Micro resonators have been actively investigated for bio/chemical sensors and RF M/NEMS devices. Among various materials, SiC is a very promising material for micro/nano resonators since the ratio of its Young's modulus, E, to mass density, $\rho$, is significantly higher than other semiconductor materials, such as, Si and GaAs. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC cantilever with different lengths were fabricated using a surface micromachining technique. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators were actuated by piezoelectric element and its fundamental resonance was measured by a laser vibrometer in air and vacuum at room temperature, respectively. For the cantilever with $100{\mu}m$ length, $10{\mu}m$width and $1.3{\mu}m$ thickness, the fundamental frequency appeared at 147.2 kHz.

In this paper, the silicon-nitride membrane structure for IR sensor was fabricated through the etching and the direct bonding. The PT layer as a IR detection layer was deposited on the membrane and its characteristics were measured. The attack of PT layer during the etching of silicon wafer as well as the thermal isolation of the IR detection layer can be solved through the method of bonding/etching of silicon wafer. Because the PT layer of c-axial orientation rained thermal polarization without polling, the more integration capability can be achieved. The surface roughness of the membrane was measured by AFM, the micro voids and the non-contacted area were inspected by IR detector, and the bonding interface was observed by SEM. The polarization characteristics and the dielectric characteristics of the PT layer were measured, too.

Micro gold electroplating structure is fabricated by surface micromachining process. The made structure is clamped-clamped beam and its 1st natural frequency is measured by resonance method. In order to find residual stress, first natural frequency of beam which has tensile stress inside is analysed using Rayleigh's method. Elastic modulus and residual stress are estimated from the measured natural frequency.

2-D microwell arrays for micro ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immuno Solvent Assay) system were fabricated using micromachining technology. The materials for the bottom plate, top plate and sidewall of the microwell were used a #7740 glass, gold and silicon respectively considering bio-compatibility and easy fabrication. Cylindrical or groove shape microwells, which have about $100{\mu}m$ depth and $50{\sim}500{\mu}m$ diameter or width, were arrayed. The fabricated microwell array can be applied to the essential part of a biochip when surface modification is made to immobilize cells or biomolecules on the microwell bottom.

Recently, the interest on micro optical parts has increased rapidly with the development of technology related to microsystems. Among the optical parts, micro lens is one of the most broadly used micro parts. To mass-produce the micro lenses, it is very effective to use the mold insert and injection molding process. There are many methods to fabricate the mold insert for micro lenses: electroforming, etching, mechanical micromachining and so on. In this study, we fabricated the mold insert for micro lenses using a micro ball endmill to apply mechanical micromaching method and analyzed the effect of main process parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, dwell time on the processed surface. Then, using fabricated the mold insert we fabricated the micro lenses through injection molding process.

Recently, expansion of micro-technology parts requires micro-precision machining technology. Micro-groove machining is important to fabricate micro-grating lens and many micro-parts such as microscope lens, fluidic graphite channel etc. Conventional groove fabrication methods such as etching and lithography have some problems in efficiency and surface integrity. But, mechanical micromachining methods using single crystal diamond tools can reduce these problems in chemical process. For this reason, microfabrication methods are expected to be very efficient, and widely studied. This study deals with machinability in micro-precision V-grooves machining of nickel plated layer using non-rotational single crystal diamond tool and 3-axis micro stages. Micro V-groove shape, chip formation and tool wear were investigated for the analysis of machinability of Ni plated layer.
