Laser-Based Silicon Crystallization Process Improves MEMS Sensing

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (Fraunhofer ILT), in collaboration with colleagues from Fraunhofer ISIT and IST, developed a CMOS-compatible deposition and laser crystallization process for the production of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). In contrast to other common processes, the method eliminates the need for wires and solder joints — an advantage that can significantly reduce the component size and enhance the sensor performance. To measure acceleration and other factors, MEMS inertial sensors are incorporated into consumer products such...Read full article

    wafer
    In the context of electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, a wafer refers to a thin, flat disk or substrate made of a semiconducting material, usually crystalline silicon. Wafers serve as the foundation for the fabrication of integrated circuits (ICs), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and other microdevices. Here are key points regarding wafers: Material: Silicon is the most commonly used material for wafer fabrication due to its excellent semiconductor properties, high purity,...
    microelectromechanical systems
    Refers to micron-size complex machines that have physical dimensions suitable for the fabrication of optical switches for use in state-of-the-art communications networks.
    electronics
    That branch of science involved in the study and utilization of the motion, emissions and behaviors of currents of electrical energy flowing through gases, vacuums, semiconductors and conductors, not to be confused with electrics, which deals primarily with the conduction of large currents of electricity through metals.
