Introduction
What is MEMS Technology?MEMS technology is based on a number of tools and
methodologies, which are used to form small structures with dimensions in the micrometer scale
MEMS fabrication approach that conveys the advantages of miniaturization, multiple components, and microelectronics to the design and construction of integrated Electromechanical systems

Introduction Conti…What are MEMS?
• Micro - Small size, microfabricated structures
• Electro - Electrical signal /control ( In / Out )
• Mechanical - Mechanical functionality (Out/ In )
• Systems - Structures, Devices, Systems controlsWhat is the size of MEMS?
They range in size from the sub micron level to the millimeter level, and there can be any number, from a few to millions, in a particular system.

Building Blocks In MEMS
How MEMS are prepared? There are three basic building blocks in MEMS technology.
1. Deposition: The ability to deposit thin films of material on a substrate.
2. Lithography: To apply a patterned mask on top of
the films by photolithograpic imaging.
3. Etching: To etch the films selectively to the mask.

MEMS Deposition TechnologyMEMS deposition technology can be classified in two groups:
1. Depositions that happen because of a chemical reaction: Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Electrodeposition Epitaxy Thermal oxidation
2. Depositions that happen because of a physical reaction: Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Casting

MEMS Etching TechnologyThere are two classes of etching process:
1. Wet etching: The material is dissolved when immersed in a chemical solution.
2. Dry etching: The material is sputtered or dissolved using reactive ions or a vapor phase etchant.
