摘要
A new surface micromachining process has been developed for the fabrication of a wide variety of three-dimensional structures. Polysilicon structures with integrally fabricated hinges are rotated out of the plane of the wafer after fabrication, and interconnected with other structures to form complex three-dimensional designs with detailed features in all three dimensions. Electrical contact to the assembled structures has been demonstrated. Several structures are presented here: a hot-wire anemometer, a tissue growth dynamometer, and a gripper.
