This paper reports on an enhanced anodic bonding technology of thin e-beam evaporated glass layers (d less than or equal to 5 mu m) for micromachined silicon sensors and actuators. This MOS-compatible technology has been developed for bonding between a silicon wafer with electrical structures and a bulk micromachined silicon wafer. A bonding frame structure can be realized with hermetically sealed metal feedtroughs especially suited for capacitive sensors with a small sensing gap and fast RC-time constants. A lift-off technology for structuring the glass using metal as a sacrificial layer has been developed, because the substrates were heated to about 300 degrees C in order to enhance the quality of the glass layer. A simple model for the current flow during the bonding process is given. The numerically calculated current-voltage behaviour is compared with measured data. An electrostatically excitated silicon resonator is realized to demonstrate the applicability of this technology. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
