Abstract

In this study, we experimented the properties of SOG film as sacrificials layers in surface micromachining and made $SiO_2$ films through spin, bake, cure process. When we culled SOG films once, SOG film thickness is 1000 $\sim$ 3000 ${\AA}$. Then we coaled 200-${\AA}$ SOG film on 9000 ${\AA}$-CVD oxide and then we fabricated test structure, cantilever and ring/beam structure. We estimated deformed structure by SEM. As the results, The deformation of the structure layer in the SOG-coated sacrificial layers is small compared with that or the structure layer on CVD oxide or PSG. In the future, we use multi coated SOG films, SOG film become adequate material as sacrificial layer.
