Publication number: 20150103391Abstract: A microelectromechanical (MEMS) device has a movable member supported above a substrate on a via support. The member and via support are fabricated integrally from first and second member forming layers. A first member forming layer forms a lower part of the member and supporting structure for the via support. First and second fill layers are deposited and patterned to form a plug that fills an inner cavity opening in the via structure. The plug is planarized to a planar part of the first member forming layer, and a second member forming layer is deposited over the first member forming layer and the planarized plug to form an upper part of the member. In an example micromirror device, metal layers define a movable mirror member supported on a via support which has a cavity filled by BARC layers. The BARC layers are planarized to a planar portion of a first metal layer and a second metal layer is formed over the first metal layer planar portion and planarized BARC layer plug.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2013Publication date: April 16, 2015Inventors: Lucius Marshall Sherwin, Jose Antonio Martinez, Ronald Charles Roth, Sean Christopher O'Brien

Publication number: 20100068663Abstract: Method for removing contaminants from a surface during semiconductor fabrication. A preferred embodiment comprises developing a resist layer on a top surface of a semiconductor substrate, curing the developed resist layer, and cleaning the developed resist layer with a developer solution to remove contaminants. The cleaning makes use of the same developer solution used to develop the resist layer, so the cleaning makes use of a process that already exists and requires no additional investment to implement, while the curing stabilizes the developed resist layer so that the cleaning does not damage the developed resist layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2009Publication date: March 18, 2010Applicant: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Erika Lee McFadden, Ronald Charles Roth, Lisa Ann Wesneski
