A MEMS device is obtained by forming a temporary biasing structure on a semiconductor body, and forming an actuation coil on the semiconductor body, the actuation coil having at least one first end turn, one second end turn and an intermediate turn arranged between the first and the second end turns and electrically coupled to the first end turn through the temporary biasing structure. In this way, the intermediate turn is biased at approximately the same potential as the first end turn during galvanic growth, and, at the end of growth, the actuation coil has an approximately uniform thickness. At the end of galvanic growth, portions of the temporary biasing structure are selectively removed to electrically separate the first end turn from the intermediate turn and from a dummy biasing region adjacent to the first end turn.

A micro structure with a substrate having a top surface; a first electrode with a horizontal orientation parallel to the top surface of the substrate, wherein the first electrode is embedded within the substrate so that a top surface of the first electrode coincides with the top surface of the substrate; a dielectric layer arranged on the top surface of the first electrode; and a second electrode arranged above the dielectric layer.

A method for manufacturing a bonded substrate body in which an end portion of an adhesive is located at a position retreated in a direction to the inside of the bonded substrate body from an end surface of a bonding region of a first substrate and a second substrate includes forming a film on the end portion of the adhesive.

The present disclosure relates to a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) package featuring a flat plate having a raised edge around its perimeter serving as an anti-stiction device, and an associated method of formation. A CMOS IC is provided having a dielectric structure surrounding a plurality of conductive interconnect layers disposed over a CMOS substrate. A MEMS IC is bonded to the dielectric structure such that it forms a cavity with a lowered central portion the dielectric structure, and the MEMS IC includes a movable mass that is arranged within the cavity.

A photo-patterned fluorocarbon monolayer directly grafted to Si surface atoms provides anti-wetting performance at controlled locations, wherein the Si surface oxide is etched and reacted with fluorocarbon chains with a terminal CC double bond, resulting in SiC surface. As the direct SiC linkages are chemically robust, and much more resistant to decomposition than SiOC bonds, the resulting surface does not suffer from the shortcomings of current MEMS dispensers.

A method of producing a semiconductor device includes providing a carrier structure having a semiconductor substrate; applying or introducing a precursor substance onto or into the carrier structure, treating the precursor substance for producing a porous matrix structure; introducing a functionalization substance into the porous matrix structure.

A production method for a micromechanical component for a sensor or microphone device. The method includes: patterning a plurality of first trenches through a substrate surface of a monocrystalline substrate made of at least one semiconductor material using anisotropic etching, covering the lateral walls of the plurality of first trenches with a passivation layer, while bottom areas of the plurality of first trenches are kept free or are freed of the passivation layer, etching at least one first cavity, into which the plurality of first trenches opens, into the monocrystalline substrate using an isotropic etching method, in which an etching medium of the isotropic etching method is conducted through the plurality of first trenches, and by covering the plurality of first trenches by epitaxially growing a monocrystalline sealing layer on the substrate surface of the monocrystalline substrate made of the at least one identical semiconductor material as the monocrystalline substrate.

In one embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device includes a first emitter/collector region and a second emitter/collector region disposed in a substrate. The first emitter/collector region has a first edge/tip, and the second emitter/collector region has a second edge/tip. A gap separates the first edge/tip from the second edge/tip. The first emitter/collector region, the second emitter/collector region, and the gap form a field emission device.
