Popis: Closely spaced, through-wafer interconnects are of large interest in RF MEMS and MEMS packaging. In this paper, a suitable technique to realize large arrays of small size through-wafer holes is presented. This approach is based on macroporous silicon formation in combination with wafer thinning. Very high aspect ratio (/spl ges/ 100) structures are realized. The wafers containing the large arrays of 2-3/spl mu/m wide holes are thinned down to 200-150/spl mu/m by lapping and polishing. Copper electroplating is finally employed to realize arrays of high aspect ratio Cu plugs.
