  1. Microfabrication Technologies Luiz Otávio Saraiva Ferreira LNLS lotavio@lnls.br

  2. OUTLINE • Lithography • Transfer of Patterns • Bulk Silicon Micromachinning • Surface Micromachinning • LIGA technique

  3. Litography - Evolution • France, 1822 • Graphic arts. • Printed circuit board- 1940-1945. • 0.1mm wide lines. • (It may be used for microfluidics). • Integrated circuit - 1961. • 5um wide lines. • Wide evolution on electronics industry. • Microsystems require progress on 3D lithography.

  4. Lithographic Masks • Stencil UV LIGHT 1:1 IMAGE GLASS OR QUARTZ LIGHT ABSORBER (800A Cr) PHOTORESIST SUBSTRATE • Light Field • Dark Field

  5. Photoresist processing • Spinning • Most used substrate: Si/SiO2 • Si Oxidation • Wet or dry. • Between 900 and 1150oC. • SiO2 masks the substrate in the following processing steps. PHOTORESIST SiO2 Si SUBSTRATE

  16. Deep X-ray Lithography X-Ray Be Filter (125um) Al Filter Kapton mask Plating Base (0.2um Au) Au absorber (1.8um) 20um SU-8 100um thick SU-8 film Si substrate 5 - 15 keV spectrum after filtering 16

  17. Resists for deep X-ray Lithography • PMMA (polymethylmetacrylate) • the most used. • High resolution. • Low sensitivity (2.5 kJ/cm3 minimum dose). • Long exposure times. • Up to 100µm thick  1-3 keV energy. • From 100µm to 500µm thick  3 - 7 keV energy. • SU-8 (epoxy based) • a promising material • Good resolution. • High sensitivity. • Short exposure times. • Difficult processing. 17

  18. Kapton Mask 20µm thick UV-LIGA process. Deep UV lithography on SU-8. Au platting. 2µm Au 20µm SU-8 Plating Base 25µm thick Kapton Membrane Frame 18

  19. Deep UV lithography  Deep X-ray lithography • UV • Cheap • Non-vertical sidewalls - border diffraction effect. • RX • Expensive • Vertical sidewalls - negligible border diffraction. 19
