摘要: A method for preferentially etching phosphosilicate glass to form a micromechanical structure includes forming layer of on substrate and opening at least one via in the layer. material which is patterned produce formed over extends through adheres substrate. The then removed by immersing device an etchant bath containing aqueous ammoniacal hydrogen peroxide solution. resulting has point attachment otherwise spaced apart from air gap. attaching overhanging mass miniature cantilever beam using microelectronics fabrication technology also provided center gravity shifted endpoint free end beam. There further integrated sensor transducing on-board detection circuitry detects extremely small motions produces corresponding digital output.
