摘要
The fabrication of polyimide membranes on GaAs (001) substrates by bulk micro-machining is described. These membranes have diameters in the range of 1 mm to 8 mm and a thickness of 7 mu m. The predicted and measured performance of a representative number of membranes is presented; their application is illustrated with reference to a ''micro-speaker'' for use in a hearing aid.
