Abstract
The silicon substrate is masked on one surface of the silicon substrate where structures like combs and beams of comb drive are not to be formed on the other surface. The unmasked areas are then etched followed by masking areas on the other surface corresponding to the structures. Finally, the unmasked areas on the other surface are again etched by anisotropic reactive ion etching to form the structures.
