Abstract

A method for manufacturing a film support beam includes: providing a substrate having opposed first and second surfaces; coating a sacrificial layer on the first surface of the substrate, and patterning the sacrificial layer; depositing a dielectric film on the sacrificial layer to form a dielectric film layer, and depositing a metal film on the dielectric film layer to form a metal film layer; patterning the metal film layer, and dividing a patterned area of the metal film layer into a metal film pattern of a support beam portion and a metal film pattern of a non-support beam portion, wherein a width of the metal film pattern of the support beam portion is greater than a width of a final support beam pattern, and a width of the metal film pattern of the non-support beam portion is equal to a width of a width of a final non-support beam pattern at the moment; photoetching and etching on the metal film layer and the dielectric film layer to obtain the final support beam pattern, the final non-support beam pattern and a final dielectric film layer, wherein the final dielectric film layer serves as a support film of the final support beam pattern and the final non-support beam pattern; and removing the sacrificial layer.

Claims (14)

1. A method of manufacturing a film support beam, comprising:

providing a substrate having opposed first and second surfaces;

coating a sacrificial layer on the first surface of the substrate, and patterning the sacrificial layer;

depositing a dielectric film on the sacrificial layer to form a dielectric film layer, and depositing a metal film on the dielectric film layer to form a metal film layer;

patterning the metal film layer, and dividing a patterned area of the metal film layer into a metal film pattern of a support beam portion and a metal film pattern of a non-support beam portion, wherein a width of the metal film pattern of the support beam portion is greater than a width of a final support beam pattern, and a width of the metal film pattern of the non-support beam portion is equal to a width of a width of a final non-support beam pattern;

photoetching and etching the metal film layer and the dielectric film layer to obtain the final support beam pattern, the final non-support beam pattern, and a final dielectric film layer, wherein the final dielectric film layer serves as a support film of the final support beam pattern and the final non-support beam pattern; and

removing the sacrificial layer.

2. The method of manufacturing the film support beam of claim 1 , wherein the sacrificial layer is made of polyimide, and the sacrificial layer has a thickness of from 500 nm to 3000 nm.

3. The method of manufacturing the film support beam of claim 1 , wherein the sacrificial layer is made of porous silicon.

4. The method of manufacturing the film support beam of claim 1 , wherein the dielectric film is made of SiO 2 , and the dielectric film layer has a thickness of from 100 nm to 2000 nm.

5. The method of manufacturing the film support beam of claim 1 , wherein the dielectric film is made of SiN.

6. The method of manufacturing the film support beam of claim 1 , wherein the metal film is made of Al, and the metal film layer has a thickness of from 100 nm to 3000 nm.

7. The method of manufacturing the film support beam of claim 6 , wherein the metal film is made of TiN.

8. The method of manufacturing the film support beam of claim 1 , wherein the sacrificial layer is removed by oxygen.
