MEMS technologies Hamamatsu is developing highly functional opto-semiconductors using a wide range of MEMS technologies. Etching Etching is a basic semiconductor process technology. MEMS technology utilizes anisotropic etching and sacrificial layer etching as well as conventional etching techniques to provide versatile functions impossible to achieve by conventional optosemiconductors. Nanoimprint Nanoimprint is a technology for fabricating fine structures at a high throughput. Light curing resin is applied to a substrate upon which a master substrate with a fine structure is then pressed. Light is then irradiated to transfer the nanoscale structure to the resin. 3D mount technology 3D mount technology can be broadly grouped into electrode technology for fabricating structures with 3D electrical connections and bonding technology for making wafer level packages. Electrode technology is essential for achieving more sophisticated functions and smaller size opto-semiconductors. Electrode technology involves techniques for forming Si through-hole electrodes to extract electrodes from the backside of devices and flip-chip bonding to make electrical connections between different materials. Bonding technology includes anodic bonding and room-temperature bonding that need no adhesives and that apply direct sealing on devices to achieve ultra-small packages.
