A SI-CMOS-MEMS process using back-side grinding
This paper presents a Si-CMOS-MEMS fabrication process which leaves the back-side silicon under the CMOS metal and oxide layers and improves the uniformity of the back-side silicon using back-side grinding. The Si-CMOS-MEMS process includes a grinding process followed by a bonding process and conventional post-CMOS etch. A Si-CMOS-MEMS accelerometer is used to demonstrate the
