Abstract

In some embodiments, multilayer structures are electrochemically fabricated from at least one structural material (e.g. nickel), at least one sacrificial material (e.g. copper), and at least one sealing material (e.g. solder). In some embodiments, the layered structure is made to have a desired configuration which is at least partially and immediately surrounded by sacrificial material which is in turn surrounded almost entirely by structural material. The surrounding structural material includes openings in the surface through which etchant can attack and remove trapped sacrificial material found within. Sealing material is located near the openings. After removal of the sacrificial material, the box is evacuated or filled with a desired gas or liquid. Thereafter, the sealing material is made to flow, seal the openings, and resolidify. In other embodiments, a post-layer formation lid or other enclosure completing structure is added.

In particular, there are packages that are microstructured and simultaneously shaped in a material structure, such as by removing sacrificial materials from the interior cavity of the package and sealing key parts of the structure. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Adam L. Cohen ) Invented a technique for forming three-dimensional structures (such as parts, assemblies, & parts, and the like) from several adhesive thin layers and is called electrochemical manufacturing. It can be purchased under the trade name efabtm from Microfabrica Inc. of Burbank, California. This technique is described in US Patent No. 6,027, issued February 22, 2000. This electrochemical deposition technique can use a unique masking technique to selectively deposit a material, which includes a material including a patterned material on a support structure that is separate from the substrate on which plating occurs. When using a mask for electrodeposition, the adhesive part of the mask is brought into contact with the substrate while a plating solution is present-so the contact between the adhesive part of the mask and the substrate suppresses the deposition at the selected position. . For convenience, these masks may generally be referred to as adhesive contact masks, and this masking technique may generally be referred to as an adhesive contact mask plating method. More specifically, in the terms of MiCr0fabrica Inc., Bobank, California, these masks have been called instan 200422250 MASKS ™ and this method is called INSTANT MASKING ™ or INSTANT MASK ™ plating . Selective deposition systems using adherent contact mask plating can be used to form a single layer of material or can be used to form a multilayer structure. The principles of the ' 630 patent are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Since the filing of the patent application that led to the above patent case, various documents regarding the adhesion of contact mask plating (also known as INSTANT MASKING) and electrochemical manufacturing have been disclosed: l ACohen, G.

The disclosures of these nine documents are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 15 胄 The chemical deposition process can be performed in several different ways as described in the patents and documents listed above. In one form, this process involves performing three separate operations during the formation of each thin layer of the structure to be formed: 1. In addition, at least _ material is selectively deposited on one or more required areas of the substrate by electrodeposition. ~ 2. Then, at least one additional material is blanket-deposited by electrodeposition to make the material > Covers previously selectively deposited areas and substrate areas that did not receive any previously applied selective deposits. 3. Finally 'planarizes' the material deposited during the second and third operations to produce the desired thickness The smooth surface of the first thin layer 7 has at least one region containing at least one material and at least one region containing at least another material. After the first thin layer is formed, it may be adjacent to the immediately preceding thin layer. Land formation The one or more outer layers are adhered to the smooth surface of the front layer. These additional thin layers are formed by repeating the first to third operations one or more times, wherein the formation of each subsequent thin layer is previously The formed thin layer and the initial substrate are processed into a new and thickened substrate.-After the formation of all thin layers has been completed, at least a portion of at least one of the deposited materials is generally removed by a etch process to A predetermined three-dimensional structure is exposed or released. A preferred method for performing the selective electrodeposition included in the first operation is plating using an adhesive contact mask. In this type of plating, one or more are first formed An adhesive contact (cc) mask I. The cc mask includes a support structure and is adhered or formed thereon-a patterned adhesive dielectric material. The scales are determined according to the specific cross section of the cladding material. The shape of the adhesive material. For each unique cross-section pattern that is plated, at least one cc mask is required. The support of the CC mask is usually a metal with selective electrical bonding and from which the plated material can be dissolved. Formation of _ plate-like structure. This In the type approach, the support will be in the anode of the process. In another approach, the support may be another hole or other perforated material. During the plating operation, the material will be deposited from the anode to a deposition surface. Through this porous or perforated material. In any-way #, the cc mask may share a common support, that is, the attachable dielectric material of the stell-like plated layer material can be positioned differently in the single-support structure. In the area. When the single-support structure contains a variety of 200422250 ore cover patterns, rectify the surname "second mask". This application is referred to as a 0 ^ mask and individual plated masks are called divisions. 5 10 quasi-injury For selective deposition of the first operation, set the mask of the CC mask to oppose the substrate on which deposition can occur: ~ Selection (or-on a previously formed thin layer or-thin (1 === top) The expectation and basis will be combined so that the opening in the axial portion of the cover contains a solution. The CC mask in contact with the substrate_adherent material is used as a barrier to electrodeposition, and the opening in the CC mask with electro-mineral solution is used as For example, the path of a cc mask support) to a non-contact portion of the substrate (as a cathode during a mining operation). In the case of the 15th case, such a case is carried out only when a specific point is made. Figures 1 (a) to 1 (c) show an example of a CC mask and a cc mask plating. Figure 1 (a) shows a side view of one of the cc masks 8 patterned on the anode 12-an adhesive or deformable (e.g. elastomer) insulator 10. The anode has two functions. Figure 1 (a) also depicts a substrate 6 separated from the mask 8. Because patterns can have topological complexity (such as isolated "islands" that include insulator materials), one function is to serve as a support material for patterned insulators to maintain their integrity and alignment. Another function is as the anode of the plating operation. The cc mask plating simply presses the insulator against the substrate and then electrodeposits the material through the openings 26a and 26b in the insulator so that the deposition material 22 is selectively and redundantly deposited on a substrate 6, as described in Section 1 (b). After deposition, as shown in FIG. I (c), the CC mask is preferably separated from the substrate 6 in a non-destructive manner. cc mask plating process and "through-mask", the difference between the plating process is 20 200422250 in:-Through-mask process, the masking material and the substrate will be destructively separated As with the mask recording, the cc fresh plating selectively and simultaneously deposits the material over the entire thin layer. The plated area can be made up of "or multiple isolated areas, where these isolated areas The money cover area can belong to a single-structure that is formed or may belong to multiple structures that are formed at the same time. In the cc mask key cover, since individual masks are not deliberately destroyed during the removal process, they can still be used in multiple money cover operations. Figures 1 (d) to 1 (f) show another example of a cc mask and cc mask plating. Fig. 1 (d) shows an anode 12 ', and the anode 12 is separated from a mask 8 containing an attached adhesive material 10 and a supporting structure 20. (Command) The figure also depicts the substrate 6 separated from the mask 8 '. Fig. 1 (e) shows the mask 8 in contact with the substrate 6. Fig. 1 (f) shows that the anode 22 does not conduct a current to the deposit 22 'generated by the substrate $. Figure 1 (g) shows the sediment 22 'on the substrate stone separated from the mask 8. In this example, an appropriate electrolyte is positioned between the substrate 15 and the anode 12, and ionic electricity from one or both of the solution and the anode is conducted through the opening in the mask to the substrate for material deposition. material. This type of mask can be called an anodized INSTANT masktm (aim) or an anodized shell (CC) mask. + Same as the shell material cover, the CC mask cover can make the cc mask be completely separated from the manufacturing of the base material (for example, separated from the XC cover by the two-dimensional ⑽ structure formed by one). Masks can be shaped in a number of different ways. For example, a photolithography process can be used. All masks can be generated simultaneously before the structure is manufactured, rather than during manufacturing. This separation may result in a simple, & cost, automated, self-contained The interior is clean and can be installed at almost any 10 200422250 “desktop factory” wherever structures are made, so it leaves any ideal processes such as photolithography that can be performed by service authorities or units.

The exposed surface of the secondary metal is then machined to a level where the first metal can be exposed to produce a flat, uniform surface that extends across the primary and secondary metals. A second thin layer can then be formed by applying a photoresist layer over the first thin layer and then repeating the process used to produce the first thin layer. This process is then repeated until the overall structure is formed and the secondary metal is removed by etching. Photoresist The cavity in the photoresist is formed by casting on a plated substrate or a previous thin layer, and using X-ray or UV radiation through a patterned photoresist exposure. Electrochemically-manufacturable materials can be used to form structures with heterogeneous shapes using electrochemical manufacturing, but a reliable, cost-effective, and improved way to package such objects is still needed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One of the various aspects of the present invention is to provide an improved packaging method for key structures 12. Another object of various aspects of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a structure and a package thereof simultaneously. Another object of the various forms of the present invention is to provide a hermetically sealed microstructure. 10

Figure 6 shows the group of thin layers 112 of electrochemical manufacturing and substrate 114. The group of thin layers includes ⑴ -A structural component 122, which is dependent and formed of-a structural material;-a protective enclosure 124 'which is formed of-a structural material but has a plurality of openings 126' (3) in it, a sealing material 128, which is positioned as Close to the opening; and a sacrificial material 132, which fills the interior 134 of the enclosing member 124 (ie, cavity 6 (b), minus the sacrificial material after removal and the sealing material flows, seals and resolidifies) 15 Before the substrate 1M, the enclosure m, the structural component m and the sealing material 128. In this case, the knotted component becomes protected within the package defined by the enclosure and the substrate. In this embodiment, the seal The material is preferably-low melting It can be electroplated metal or solder-like materials such as marriage or tinsmith. The sacrificable material may be copper and the structural material may be nickel. Of course, other suitable materials are acceptable. The key is that the etching of the sacrificial material should not Damage to the structural component 122 or significant damage to the sealing material 128. Figure 6 (d) depicts a top view of the uppermost layer of Figure 6 (b). The leftmost component H2 is the second to last layer of the cover that is the enclosure m. And it is made of a structural material and includes an opening 126. The component 144 is the last layer of the structure and is made of a sealing material 128. It also includes the opening 126. The component 144 is surrounded by a dashed border line 148 and its Shows the outer boundary of module 142 when the two modules are aligned. Module 146 shows a top view of two modules 142 and 144 covered with aligned openings 124. Figures 7 (a) and 7 (b) depict Figure 6 (b) Alternate configuration of the sealing layer. 21 200422250 In Figure 7 (a), the sealing material includes a single swivel 152 for bridging the opening. It is believed that this bridging part may be under the flow of the sealing material (such as by sufficient heating) Helps to close the opening. Figure 7 (b) Similar to Fig. 7 (a), the difference is that ^ draws two crossing bridge parts 154 and 156. 5 Fig. 8 (a) depicts one of the last two layers of Fig. 6 (b), an alternative, functional side View 'and Figure 8 (b) depicts a top view of the last two layers including an alternative sealing layer. The third to last layer I42 has not changed its configuration relative to that shown in Figure 6 (d), but the last layer 144, Has been modified. If the last layer is not configured as a rectangular plate with holes as in the example of patterns 6⑷ to 6⑷, the sealing material around each opening in Figures 8⑷ H) and 8 (b) is as The figure is clearly shown in the form of rings, more specifically, these rings have a smaller inner diameter than the holes 126 in the thin layer 142. The partial overlap of the Xianxin sealing material with the holes in the thin layer 142 will help fill the material and hold the opening as the sealing material flows. Mountains 15 20

Because the sexual material is activated and the material bait flowing from the side of the opening is: The side near the moon will be more highly activated. Cause: Movement may require The sealing material is oriented toward the surface—to the opposite side of the two male sealing materials facing the two males in the enclosure. Therefore, a higher degree of activation may be activated towards Kaixie.卩 range, and will encourage material flow in the past to move the right direction to seal the opening Li Ke == sealing material-alternative configuration.

Figures 12 (a) to 2 (e) depict the deposited and Wei Mishan materials for the previous and subsequent versions of the different possible opening configurations. In these configurations, the structural material is numbered 202, the deposited sealant is numbered, and the flowing sealant is numbered 204 '. 15 Figure 5 (b) presents the basic steps of a second group of embodiments of the present invention as a block diagram. In this figure, parts similar to those in Figure 5 (a) have similar numbers. Block 102 'forms a group of electrochemically-manufactured thin-layer protected structural components including: (2) a protective enclosure formed of a structural material but having at least one opening therein; (3) )-Sacrificeable material 20 positioned at least partially between the protected structure and the protective enclosure. Block 102 also shows that the formed thin layer may also include a sealing material positioned near at least one opening. After the thin layer is formed, the process proceeds to block 104, which is used to remove the sacrificial material. This effect can be performed in any way, where it can be selectively shifted (except for materials that can be sacrificed without damaging the structural material (etching or melting)). 3 faults are caused by selective chemistry 5 10 15 20 and then at block 106, this process is used to protect the regions between structures. This process can also include emptying the enclosure and filling the areas back and forth with gas. The filling gas (such as the two required fillings or the like) or may be chemically active such as the co-, inert (for example,%, Ar). This process can also include effective use for 7. Reduction of the environment (eg, special treatment of parts of the assembly. ㊉, operation to damage the structure / surrounding.) Next, the process moves forward to block 110, and the rest will-move the sealing structure-relative to the sealing material of the surrounding parts.-General In other words, the sealing structure of the social structure k may include-at least one or a thin layer formed-sealing materials. Sealing structures or enclosures will include-adhesives. Sealing structures may be replaced by flat ::: 仃For example, it may be driven by the structure, by the air :: group = collapse when the sacrificial material is removed, by the force during the layer-by-layer formation, the force-induced movement, by the -㈣ or the like '' Relative action or similar action 'to move. ~ After the enclosing element, on block 108, make the sealing material flow temporarily while holding the enclosing element and sealing structure together. • Figures 13 and 13 (b) depict An example of an implementation 4 according to the group shown in Figure 5 (b). Figure 13 (a) depicts a cover 212 above the wall 214. The wall is topped with a sealing material 216. Any sacrificial material (not shown) (Shown) remove it and bring the cover down The sealing material 216 flows inside (for example, by heating the cover). The sealing material is compressed and forms a seal between the cover and the wall. 26 200422250 盍 212 may be constructed by chemical manufacturing methods or may be constructed by some other means. The cover may be It is a material different from the rest of the enclosure. The cover may be a -dielectric or even a transparent material. In the case of the shell, 'as shown in Figures 13 (a) and 13 (b), the enclosure's The soil is co-manufactured with, but the mouth structure is not. The wall may or may not have etched hemp. The final layer of the structure formed may be applied with a sealant that may be planarized or = planarized (such as some types) Solder). After the money is engraved to release the structure in Phase I, a separately manufactured cover (such as a specific type of metal sheet) is placed above the shape. This can be achieved at wafer scale or on individual components. Role. Make solder (or other materials) flow and seal the component. This approach provides [numerical U · (1) S pieces or structures can be easily visually inspected before sealing; () additional processing can be performed after sealing ( (Such as metallization, purification, testing, etc.) (3) Release of nicknames will cause fewer problems; (1) Minimize the problem of applying or planarizing flowable materials; (5) Because a substantially unpatterned sheet (15) can be used to eliminate one or more fine FAB manufacturing thin <<, so it may be cheaper; the lid can be made of a material that is not easily electrodeposited; and (7) Since the lid can be pressed against the wall surface, using the solder to wet the wall surface and the lid surface will become · Less important. In the alternative implementation of the trowel, solder (or other flowable sealing material) 20 can be deposited on the cover instead of the wall.. There may be many alternatives to the above-mentioned embodiments, and those skilled in the art Many additional embodiments can be understood. A variety of structural materials can be used. A variety of types of flowable materials can be used. Structural components and enclosures can be formed from different materials or even multiple materials. It may be possible to use one or more flowable materials for sealing and other materials may be used to cause the structure to move relative to each other so that automatic sealing can be achieved in any ageable material. Available: The interconnect provides the enclosure or substrate, so electrical connections can be established inside the enclosure. The cover structure or substrate may have 5 openings covered by a transparent window, so that the optical components can be embedded in the enclosure and the optical signals can be transmitted in and out of the enclosure. The substrate may include—a conductively coated transparent structure (such as glass) in which the coating may be removed with the removal of the sacrificial material or may be removed after the sacrificial material is removed.

An alternative heating route involves the use of a hot plate. In this approach, the cover or solder layer of the structural material in contact with the solder actually contacts the 120 board. The board can be treated with bismuth to improve solder wetting. The plate can be brought into contact by translation along the 2 axis and can be removed by lateral translation. In a more extreme case, the board can carry solder and the encapsulation layer need not be solder-plated. As an alternative to using a hot plate, a thin layer with an opening may be brought into contact with, for example, a molten sealing material (such as melted solder). This molten sealing material 28 200422250 5 will be wet and sticky when moved away To the surface and seal the opening. Various surface treatments can be used to seal the leaks of the structural materials (or solders). Chemical treatments such as bribes, resins, surfactants can be used. Electrochemical and plasma treatments can also be used. Surface treatments can also be used Chemicals are added to remove the sacrificial material. 10, The reduction process can be used to reduce the oxide layer that will hinder the flow of the sealing material, thereby improving the implementation of the tester.

In some embodiments, a wicking structure may be used to help seal the material flow. Ideally, the openings should be sized and positioned to provide the largest area for the etchant flow, but provide the least challenge to the wetting of the sealing material. Circular openings may not be optimal and long narrow openings (slots) or star shapes may be better, but other alternatives may still exist. The circular opening can be blocked (ie, sealed) by adding a wet structure. A simple wet structure is a line that divides the opening into two as shown in Figure 7 (a). This line may be one or both of structural material or sealing material (for example, next to each other). This line may bulge out of the plane of the thin layer or have another non-linear shape (such as a curved shape or variable dimensions).

In other embodiments, additional materials can be used and 20 different processes can be used.. Submitted November 26, 2002 "A non-adhesive mask and method and device for forming a three-dimensional structure. US Patent Application No. 60 / 429,484 generally relates to a method for forming a multilayer structure from several overlying and adhering thin layers (say, such as Element). Selective patterning is generally achieved using masks that are independent of the substrates on which they operate. These masks allow materials to be selectively deposited on a substrate or they can selectively etch a substrate, wherein the generated voids can be planarized after filling with a selected material to substantially produce selective deposition of a selected material. Masks can be used in contact mode or next to mode. In the contact mode, the mask and the substrate are physically docked to form a substantially independent processing capsule. In the immediate mode, the mask and substrate are positioned sufficiently close to form a reasonably independent processing capsule. In some embodiments, the mask may have an adherent contact surface (i.e., a surface that is sufficiently deformable to attach significantly to the surface of the substrate to form a seal therewith) or it may have a semi-rigid or even rigid surface. Post-deposition etch operations can be performed to remove flash deposits (thin, poor deposits). 15 U.S. Patent Application No. 10 / 434,294, filed on May 7, 2003, entitled "Enhanced Post-Deposition Process Electrical System" generally relates to the provision of a method for generating from several thin adhesive layers.
