Abstract

This paper describes the effects of applied bias conditions on electrochemical etch-stop characteristics. THere are a number of key issues such as diode leakage and ohmic losses which arise when applying the conventional 3-electrochemical etch-stop to fabricated some of he MEMS(microelectro mechanical system) and SOI(Si-on-insulator) structures which employ SDB(Si-wafer direct bonding). This work allows to perform anin situ diagnostic to predict whether or not an electrochemical etch-stop would fail due to diode-leakage-induced premature passivation. In addition, it presents technology which takes into account the effects of ohmic losses and allows to calculate the appropriate bias necessary to obtain a successful electrochemical etch-stop.
