3D surface topography and reflectivity of anisotropic etched silicon micromirrors for BioMEMS
This was an outcome of an EPSRC/IDB Technologies Ltd (Ian Burnett, ian@idbtechnologies.co.uk) CASE studentship. The projected helped the company to understand the requirements of a new micro-systems market. The paper presented the design, fabrication and testing of silicon micromirrors for force sensing in BioMEMS. The underlying science of crystallographic etching was clearly presented. The micro fabrication and test methodologies described were valid for a wide range of microsystems that require flexural force sensing function and will benefit microsystem designers, manufacturers and end users. A poster based on this paper received the Best Poster Award on UK Semiconductor 2011 Conference.
