The method is based on the bonding and detachment of a glass plate cap by using a thermoplastic adhesive. The sand blast technique was used for fabrication of the glass cap wafer, which has concavities with depth of 100 /spl mu/m. The thermoplastic adhesive (STAYSTIK373, Techno Alpha Co. Ltd.) was screen printed on the glass cap wafer. The glass cap wafer was thermocompression-bonded to silicon wafer at 210/spl deg/C and diced to individual chips. The glass cap plate was easily detached at 300/spl deg/C. This method prevented MEMS devices from suffering contamination by water or dicing dust during the dicing process. The method is easily applied to current mass-production processes, because the method is accomplished with inexpensive materials and well-established equipment. The process conditions and examples have been explained in the paper.","PeriodicalId":285115,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMs","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130926864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deep silicon etch, silicon-glass anodic bonding and thinning process are used in this research for a silicon mirror plate. This approach offers a flat silicon mirror plate and the thickness of a silicon plate can be thinned up to 25 /spl mu/m. The micromirror should rotate with 45 degrees for out-of-plane right angle reflection. Therefore it is difficult to use stiff materials as a torsional spring.

For the works of nano-photonics, a key device is a probe for generating/detecting optical near field with high efficiency and high resolution.
