A novel technology is developed to fabricate high aspect ratio bulk titanium micro-parts by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching. An optimized etching rate of 0.9 μm/min has been achieved with an aspect ratio higher than 10:1. For the first time, SU-8 is used as titanium etching mask instead of the traditional hard mask such as TiO2 or SiO2. With an effective selectivity of 3 and a spun-on thickness beyond 100 μm, vertical etching sidewall and low sidewall roughness are obtained. Ultra-deep titanium etching up to 200 μm has been realized, which is among the best of the present reports. Titanium micro-springs and planks are successfully fabricated with this approach.

This paper reports the simulation and fabrication of novel polymer-based tunneling sensors by hot embossing technique, one of the advanced polymer microfabrication technologies. ANSYS is the software tools used to simulate the mechanical microstructures of the polymer tunneling sensors. Following the optimum design of the sensors, the mold inserts of hot embossing are fabricated by anodic bonding of glass disk 5 mm think and silicon wafer, with high-aspect-ratio microstructures by ICP etching. Main structures of polymer-based tunneling sensors are hot embossed on PMMA, followed by plastic bonding to form lateral tunneling sensor platform.
