Manufacturing of surface micromachined structures for chemical sensors
This paper presents the technological process, the simulation and the microfabrication of polysilicon structures used as mass sensitive sensors for gas detection. The microstructures are double-ended and released, polysilicon microbridges, realised by sacrificial layer technique. The surface micromachining compatibility with the integrated circuits microfabrication is discussed and the bridge oscillation observed.
