A bulk silicon micromachining technique using porous silicon as a sacrificial layer is developed. The proposed process is fully C-MOS compatible and it was successfully used to fabricate deep cavities into silicon with very smooth bottom surfaces and sidewalls.

Monolithic silicon bolometers with implanted thermistors, micromachined thermal masses and suspension beams have been developed. These devices are intended for accurate b-decay spectrum measurements in the Milano neutrino mass experiment. By means of a dedicated micromachining fabrication process ve
The measurement and control of motion is increasingly required in automotive and robotics applications, where cheap sensors are highly desirable. In this "eld silicon technology is a good approach in terms of performance/price ratio since complex functions can be integrated into a single device. A b
The fabrication and characterization of a resonant accelerometer made in bulk-micromachining technology are reported. The device consists of a silicon seismic mass suspended by two hinges from one side. Between them, a load sensitive silicon beam is located, clamped to the bulk and to the mass. The
