Fabricating silicon mesh bolometers for BAM

Silicon membranes have been fabricated and etched into mesh structures using both wet and Cl₂ plasma etching. The most repeatable process involoved wet etching triple bonded wafers with a buried oxide layer. A recipe to build Si meshes, with a grid spacing of 375 μm and leg cross-sections of 5 μm...
