Fabrication Process for Cantilever Beam Micromechanical Switches
Abstract
This report presents a detailed process description for fabrication of a micromechanical accelerometer sensor switch. The switch consists of a metallic cantilever beam structure that is defined with silicon micromachining processing technology. The beam is made up of a gold-nickel-gold trimetallic structure, which is anchored at one end to a silicon substrate; the process was designed to be compatible with current integrated circuit technology used in industry.
