Photo-patternable gelatin as protection layers in surface micromachinings

Abstract

This paper describes a newly developed low-temperature photo-patternable Gelatin technology that is useful to produce a thick (greater than 10 microns) Gelatin protecting and strengthening layer for weak MEMS micro-structures. Example demonstrated here is the Gelatin process integrated with the Parylene MEMS technology. What is reported here is the complete processing details and formulae that allow anyone to use Gelatin like photo-resist. We find that it is a chemical-resistant and mechanical-robust material for MEMS applications.
