NXP-TSMC applies low-k material to MEMS package

The NXP-TSMC Research Center has developed a method for packaging MEMS components using materials used in the wiring of advanced CMOS LSIs, and it was held on the "MEMS 2008" held in the United States on January 17th. Released (paper serial number: 156-Th).
In this method, a low-k material used in the top LSI wiring layer is used in the process of encapsulating a certain MEMS device in a movable part into a hole. It can also be said to be the technology that closes the inherent packaging process of MEMS components to the existing CMOS manufacturing process. It can be manufactured using TSMC's production line.
Applying low-k materials to advanced LSIs is to utilize low dielectric properties and suppress the bonding between layers to achieve high-speed transmission wiring. When used in MEMS packaging, it uses porous features.
Specifically, the porous properties are applied to the sacrificial layer etching. In general, the packaging of the MEMS device is to form holes around the MEMS portion. A cover is provided on the cavity to cover the previously formed sacrificial layer, and a gap is provided on this cover to etch the sacrificial layer. When the porous material is used as the cover, the sacrificial layer can be removed by vapor phase etching. Further, a film of a non-porous material was formed on the top to achieve a hermetically sealed package.
Using HF during vapor phase etching, the etching rate of the porous material was only 0.14 nm/minute. Therefore, the silicon dioxide of the sacrificial layer has sufficient selectivity for the porous material. For example, if the porous density is only 7%, the hermetically sealed material will not be able to enter the cavity. In addition, the low-k material used this time is “Black Diamond” of Applied Materials.
The company plans to first apply this packaging technology to the packaging of silicon oscillators. Silicon oscillators have been developed for RF circuits and were published in the "IEDM 2007" in December 2007.

The function for SINOFUJI Overhead Line Cover is to shorten the safety distance, increase the creepage distance, prevent bird damage, prevent wind deflection, prevent air floating objects and various plants from being collided or contacted, it can be eliminated electromagnetic radiation (induction) Impact on people and animals who are nearby the overhead line.

Being equipped with special installation tools with the principle is similar to that of clothe zipper, it can be installed without shut down the power (the voltage is 10kV or below). The operator can install up to 80 meters of overhead line by standing on one fixed position, the installation speed can be reached as high as 20 meters/5 minutes if two people working together in a team.
