The present disclosure discloses a MEMS grating and a fabrication method. The MEMS grating includes a substrate layer, an insulation layer and a deformable layer. The deformable layer is made of a continuous conductive material, the insulation layer is distributed along transverse intervals on the substrate layer, and a cavity is formed between every two adjacent insulation layers. The deformable layer includes movable grating bars and fixed grating bars. The fixed grating bars are fixedly connected with the insulation layer, and the movable grating bars correspond to the cavities. A plurality of through holes are formed in the movable grating bars. During wet etching, the movable grating bars generate upwards buckling deformation, which increase an initial gap between the movable grating bars and a substrate. An adhesion effect caused by the wet etching is eliminated, which reduces permanent failures caused by the adhesion effect.
A MEMS grating, comprising a substrate layer (1), an insulation layer (2) and a deformable layer (3), wherein the insulation layer (2) and the deformable layer (3) are arranged at an upper end of the substrate layer (1) in sequence, the deformable layer (3) is a conductive material with a compressive pre-stress, the insulation layer (2) is distributed along transverse intervals on the substrate layer (1), and a cavity (4) is formed between every two adjacent insulation layers (2);
A fabrication method of a MEMS grating, comprising the following steps:
