MIT designs completely 3D MEMS
… Fachin says, fabricating 3-D devices in silicon is tricky. MEMS engineers use a common technique called deep reactive ion etching to make partially 3-D structures, in which two-dimensional elements are etched into a wafer. The technique …

Si-Ware platform creates MOEMS on-wafer with lithographic alignment
… optical MEMS (MOEMS) structures can be patterned and etched on silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers using deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) . The structures are then wafer-level packaged and diced to create a one-chip optical system. SiMOST …
