  10. Assembly via Residual Stress Low Insertion Loss Packaged and Fiber-Connectorized Si Surface-Micromachined Reflective Optical Switch V. Aksyuk, B. Barber, C. R. Giles, R. Ruel, L. Stulz, and D. Bishop Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, 700 Mountain Ave. Murray Hill, NJ 07974 Figure 2.Self-Assembling optical shutter. High tensile residual stress metal is deposited on a polysilicon beam anchored at one end. Upon release the metal-poly sandwich structure deforms, moving the free end of the beam upward. The lifting structure engages the cut in the hinged-plate shutter causing it to rotate 90 degrees into tits operating position.

  15. Taxonomy of Microassembly • Parallel microassembly • Multiple parts assembled simultaneously • Deterministic: pre-determined destination for parts • Stochastic: random process determines part destinations • Serial microassembly • “Pick and place” on a microscale Courtesy: Roger Howe, UCB

  16. Parallel Microassembly Processes K. Böhringer, et al, ICRA, Leuven, Belgium, May 1998 Courtesy: Roger Howe, UCB

  17. Stochastic Parallel Microassembly • Agitated parts find minimum energy state via an annealing process • Gravitational well: J. S. Smith, UC Berkeley and Alien Technology Corp., Morgan Hill, Calif. • (video) • Patterned chemical “binding sites”G. M. Whitesides, Harvard: hydrophobic surfaces formed by self-assembled monolayers define the binding site Courtesy: Roger Howe, UCB

  18. Biomimetic Approach • Pattern part surfaces with hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). • free energy cost of SAM-water interface is high • hydrophobic regions act as binding sites Terfort, A. et al. Nature, 386, 162-4 (1997). Courtesy: Roger Howe, UCB

  19. Application to Microassembly • Pattern complementary hydrophobic shapes onto parts and substrates using SAMs. • no shape constraints on parts • no bulk micromachining of substrate • submicron, orientational alignment • Uthara Srinivasan, Ph.D. thesis,UC Berkeley Chem.Eng., May 2001 Courtesy: Roger Howe, UCB

  27. Research Challenges for Self-Assembly Processes • Assembly extensions: • multi-pass and multi-part simultaneous assembly • Reduce area consumed by binding site, in order to achieve: • “High quality” mechanical interconnects • “High density” electrical interconnects Courtesy: Roger Howe, UCB

  28. Post-Assembly Processes • Polymer adhesives are not sufficient for many MEMS applications • Good interfaces require high temperatures (> 450o C), which can damage micro-components • Potential solutions: Local heating through laser Local resistive heating (Prof. Liwei Lin, UC Berkeley) Courtesy: Roger Howe, UCB
