  • Patent number: 12172888
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a MEMS device. The MEMS device has a cavity in which a beam will move to change the capacitance of the device. After most of the device build-up has occurred, sacrificial material is removed to free the beam within the MEMS device cavity. Thereafter, exposed ruthenium contacts are exposed to fluorine to either: dope exposed ruthenium and reduce surface adhesive forces, form fluorinated Self-Assembled Monolayers on the exposed ruthenium surfaces, deposit a nanometer passivating film on exposed ruthenium, or alter surface roughness of the ruthenium. Due to the fluorine treatment, low resistance, durable contacts are present, and the contacts are less susceptible to stiction events.

  • Patent number: 12054382
    Abstract: A micro-electromechanical-system (MEMS) device may be formed to include an anti-stiction polysilicon layer on one or more moveable MEMS structures of a device wafer of the MEMS device to reduce, minimize, and/or eliminate stiction between the moveable MEMS structures and other components or structures of the MEMS device. The anti-stiction polysilicon layer may be formed such that a surface roughness of the anti-stiction polysilicon layer is greater than the surface roughness of a bonding polysilicon layer on the surfaces of the device wafer that are to be bonded to a circuitry wafer of the MEMS device. The higher surface roughness of the anti-stiction polysilicon layer may reduce the surface area of the bottom of the moveable MEMS structures, which may reduce the likelihood that the one or more moveable MEMS structures will become stuck to the other components or structures.
