摘要:Efficient methods for lithographically fabricating spring structures onto a substrate (301) containing contact pads or metal vias (305) by forming both the spring metal and release material layer
s using a single mask. Specifically, a pad of release
material (310) is self-aligned to the spring metal finger (320) using a photoresist mask or a plated metal pattern, or using lift-off processing techniques. A release mask is then used to release the spring metal finger while retaining a portion of the release material that secures the anchor portion of the spring metal finger to the substrate. When the release material is electrically conductive (e.g., titanium), this release material portion is positioned directly over the contact pad or metal via, and acts as a conduit to the spring metal finger in the completed spring structure. When the release material is non-conductive, a metal strap is formed to connect the spring metal finger to the contact pad or metal via, and also to further anchor the spring metal finger to the substrate.
