Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating MEMS devices, the method including the steps of: providing a substrate with a MEMS layer arranged on one side of the substrate applying a first holding means to the MEMS layer; performing at least one deep silicon etch on the substrate from a side of the substrate opposed to the side having the MEMS layer, the deep silicon etch dicing the substrate; applying a second holding means to said opposed side of the diced substrate; removing the first holding means; performing at least one operation on the MEMS layer to release individual MEMS chips, each chip being composed of a part of the substrate and at least one part of the MEMS layer; and causing individual chips to be released from the second holding means for removal from the second holding means.
