This paper provides a method for the anodic bonding of SOI and glass wafers, and it explains the bonding mechanism with an electrical model, for the first time in the literature. SOI-glass anodic bonding can be achieved at voltages as low as 250V similar to Si-glass anodic bonding, and the underlying principles can be understood by modeling the overall system with a series-connected capacitor-resistor network. The SOI-oxide layer can be added as a capacitor to the classical anodic bonding model, and the behavior of the bonding can be estimated with the basic circuit theory. The oxide capacitance in the model acts as a short circuit at the time instant when the bonding potential is applied, and then it gradually becomes an open circuit. The model is also successfully adapted to triple stack glass-Si-glass anodic bonding, which enables wafer level packaging and offers many opportunities to MEMS designers.

A Novel Method for Fabricating MEMS Three-Axis Accelerometers using Low Temperature Au-Sn Eutectic Bonding Tez, Serdar; Torunbalci, Mustafa Mert; Akın, Tayfun (2016-11-03) This paper presents a novel method for the fabrication of three-axis capacitive MEMS accelerometers by using low-temperature Au-Sn eutectic bonding that is applied to form a glass-silicon-glass multi-stack. The proposed method provides the implementation of individual in-plane and out-of-plane accelerometer elements in the same die using a glass-silicon-glass multi-stack structure formed at temperatures as low as 300 degrees C while still ensuring the advantages of the previous approaches such as the voltag...
A constitutive model for finite deformation of amorphous polymers FLEISCHHAUER, R.; Dal, Hüsnü; KALISKE, M.; SCHNEIDER, K. (2012-12-01) The paper introduces a three-dimensional constitutive model for the mechanical behavior of amorphous polymers, thermosets and thermoplastics. The approach is formulated in terms of finite deformations, appropriate for glassy polymers. The rheology of the model consists of a Langevin-type free energy function for the energy storage due to molecular alignment connected in parallel to a Maxwell element with a viscoplastic dashpot. The model proves successful for the constitutive description of glassy polymers ...
A Method of Fabricating Vacuum Packages with Vertical Feedthroughs in a Wafer Level Anodic Bonding Process Torunbalci, Mustafa Mert; Alper, Said Emre; Akın, Tayfun (2014-09-10) This paper presents a new method for wafer level vacuum packaging of MEMS devices using anodic bonding together with vertical feedthroughs formed on an SOI cap wafer, eliminating the need for any sealing material or any complex via-refill or trench-refill vertical feedthrough steps. The packaging yield is experimentally verified to be above 95%, and the cavity pressure is characterized to be as low as 1 mTorr with the help of a thin-film getter. The shear strength of several packages is measured to be above...
Comparison of Two Alternative Silicon-On-Glass Microfabrication Processes for MEMS Inertial Sensors Torunbalci, M. M.; Tatar, E.; Alper, S. E.; Akın, Tayfun (2011-09-07) This paper presents experimental comparison of a modified silicon-on-glass (M-SOG) process to a previously-reported classical SOG (C-SOG) process based on the use of SOI wafers, yielding a stress free < 111 > silicon structural layer with desired structure thickness. The basic difference between these processes is the sequence of the step at which the silicon microstructures are defined by DRIE, making M-SOG more robust against critical dimension (CD) variations. Overall, M-SOG provides a simple, high yield...
New infinitesimal method for the analysis and synthesis of AC machines winding Cipin, Radoslav; Patocka, Miroslav (2011-09-10) The paper describes a new universal infinitesimal method which enables the analysis and synthesis of arbitrary AC motor windings. The method is based on the notion of the local angular density of conductors n(alpha)= dN(alpha)/d alpha It will be proved the proportionality B(alpha)= integral n(alpha)d alpha for the magnetic flux density in the air gap. The function n(a) can he arbitrary, i.e. of continual or impulse character. In a special case, when the function n(alpha) is given in the form of Dirac impuls...
