摘要： A curved spring structure includes a base section extending parallel to the substrate surface, a curved cantilever section bent away from the substrate surface, and an elongated section extending from the base section along the substrate surface under the cantilevered section. The spring structure includes a spring finger formed from a self-bending material film (e.g., stress-engineered metal, bimorph/bimetallic) that is patterned and released. A cladding layer is then electroplated and/or electroless plated onto the spring finger for strength. The elongated section is formed from plating material deposited simultaneously with cladding layers. To promote the formation of the elongated section, a cementation layer is provided under the spring finger to facilitate electroplating, or the substrate surface is pre-treated to facilitate electroless plating.

摘要： Micro-machined (e.g., stress-engineered spring) structures are produced by forming a release layer, forming a partially or fully encapsulated beam/spring structure, and then releasing the beam/spring structure by etching the release layer. The encapsulation structure protects the beam/spring during release, so both the release layer and the beam/spring can be formed using plating and/or using the same material. The encapsulation structure can be metal, resist, polymer, oxide, or nitride, and may be removed after the release process, or retained as part of the completed micro-machined structure.

摘要： Fluidic conduits, which can be used in microarraying systems, dip pen nanolithography systems, fluidic circuits, and microfluidic systems, are disclosed that use channel spring probes that include at least one capillary channel. Formed from spring beams (e.g., stressy metal beams) that curve away from the substrate when released, channels can either be integrated into the spring beams or formed on the spring beams. Capillary forces produced by the narrow channels allow liquid to be gathered, held, and dispensed by the channel spring probes. Because the channel spring beams can be produced using conventional semiconductor processes, significant design flexibility and cost efficiencies can be achieved.

摘要： A plurality of vertically spaced-apart microsprings are provided to increase microspring contact force, contact area, contact reliability, and contact yield. The microspring material is deposited, either as a single layer or as a composite of multiple sub layers, to have a tailored stress differential along its cross-section. A lower microspring may be made to push up against an upper microspring to provide increased contact force, or push down against a substrate to ensure release during manufacture. The microsprings may be provided with similar stress differentials or opposite stress differentials to obtain desired microspring profiles and functionality. Microsprings may also be physically connected at their distal ends for increased contact force. The microsprings may be formed of electrically conductive material or coated with electrically conductive material for probe card and similar applications.

摘要： Lithographically defined and etched spring structures are produced by various methods such that they avoid the formation of a plated metal wedge on an underside of the spring structure after release. A post is utilized to offset the spring from an underlying substrate by a distance greater than the thickness of the plated metal. A trench is etched into the substrate below the spring to provide clearance during deflection of the spring. Another spring includes a knee (bend) that provides the necessary clearance during deflection. A plating process is limited to the upper side of another spring. A released spring is used as a shadow mask for patterning resist that prevents wedge formation during plating. Various tip arrangements are disclosed that can be utilized with each spring structure

A method for integrally forming a capacitor and a microcoil on a substrate may involve depositing and patterning a dielectric layer on the substrate, depositing and patterning a sacrificial layer on the substrate, depositing and patterning conductive material on the semiconductor substrate, depositing and patterning a polymer layer on the semiconductor substrate, removing an exposed portion of the conductive material exposed by the patterned polymer layer to release a portion of the conductive pattern from the semiconductor substrate to form out-of-plane windings of the microcoil, depositing second conductive material on exposed portions of the conductive material, and removing the sacrificial layer. The patterned conductive material may include a windings portion of the microcoil, an overlapping electrode portion of the capacitor and a support portion for the electrode of the capacitor.

摘要： Xerographic micro-assembler systems and methods are disclosed. The systems and methods involve manipulating charge-encoded micro-objects. The charge encoding identifies each micro-object and specifies its orientation for sorting. The micro-objects are sorted in a sorting unit so that they have defined positions and orientations. The sorting unit has the capability of electrostatically and magnetically manipulating the micro-objects based on their select charge encoding. The sorted micro-objects are provided to an image transfer unit. The image transfer unit is adapted to receive the sorted micro-objects, maintain them in their sorted order and orientation, and deliver them to a substrate. Maintaining the sorted order as the micro-objects are delivered to the substrate may be accomplished through the use of an electrostatic image, as is done in xerography. The substrate with the micro-objects is further processed to interconnect the micro-objects—through electrical wiring, for example—to form the final micro-assembly.

摘要： A data transmission interconnect assembly capable of transmission speeds in excess of 40 Gbps in which, for example, a line-card is detachably coupled to a backplane using flexible flat cables that are bent to provide a continuous, smooth curve between the connected boards, and connected by a connection apparatus that employs cable-to-cable interface members that are transparent to the transmitted signal waves. Microspring interface members are formed on the contact structure pressed against the cables to provide interface arrangements that are smaller than a wavelength of the transmitted signal. A connector apparatus uses a cam mechanism to align the cables, and then to press the contact structure, having the microspring interface members formed thereon, against the cables. An alterative contact structure uses anisotropic conductive film.
