Fabrication of polyimide sacrificial layers with inclined sidewalls based on reactive ion etching

Polyimide is used as a sacrificial material because of its low stress, its removable ability and its compatibility with standard micromachining processes. In this work, polyimide structures with inclined sidewalls are fabricated with a reactive ion etching process, where SiO2 is used as the hard-mas...
