Abstract

The invention provides a method for processing a metal micro-structure, comprising the following steps of: etching out a double-faced alignment mark and the alignment mark of a rear surface blind hole on the rear surface of a metal substrate; forming a blind hole array on the rear surface of the substrate through a micro electrical discharge machining process; forming a metal layer on the rear surface of the substrate by a physical vapor deposition method; defining a mask pattern within the corresponding area of the front surface of the substrate according to the structure shape of the product; etching the substrate from the front surface by utilizing a deep reactive ion etching technology and stopping etching till the metal layer on the rear surface of the substrate; and then removing the left mask on the front surface of the substrate and the metal layer on the rear surface of the substrate, and releasing the metal micro-structure. Alternately, the rear-surface blind hole array can be formed after the front-surface mask is formed. The method provided by the invention is capable of effectively reducing the bending of the metal substrate and the Footing effect during etching; and the release of the micro-metal structure piece is simple and the processing accuracy is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) processing, and in particular relates to a processing method for metal microstructures. Background technique [0002] Traditional mechanical metal structure processing methods mainly include tool cutting and laser cutting. The cutting feature size is 0.2mm, and it is extremely difficult to process smaller metal structural parts. Laser cutting is widely used in the processing of flat metal structural parts. It is suitable for most materials, but the processing cost is expensive, and the cutting edge is easy to adhere to slag, and its characteristic size is between 0.05-0.2mm. With the development of micro machinery and precision machinery, the processing size is getting smaller and smaller, even reaching the micron level, and the processing accuracy of traditional cutting and laser processing is difficult to meet the requirements. In addition, for low-stiffness mic...
