This study uses the standard IC process and the silicon anisotropic etching technique to fabricate a new silicon thermopile micro-device. This device uses both n and p polysilicons as the thermocouple material, and utilizes post-oxidation of silicon rich nitride (Si+N) to form large-area floating membranes as the thermally insulating structure to make a new high-transresistance solid state relay. Besides of this, we also adopted a simple tool for double-side alignment as invented by Richard and Stuart to replace the standard IR double-side aligner. Result shows that this methodology is good enough for the accuracy of alignment to meet the need of our device structure.
