ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating a monolithic micro-generator comprising: fabricating a plurality of magnet layer elements by preparing a semiconductor substrate surface to define: a plurality of coil layer recesses, a plurality of magnet wells, a plurality of integral compliant regions, and a plurality of bonding posts; disposing a ferromagnetic mass within each of a plurality of the magnet wells; fabricating a coil layer element by preparing a second semiconductor substrate surface to define a coil well, and one or more through holes, each hole disposed to accept a bonding post; disposing a conductive coil within the coil well; and bonding the upper bonding post surfaces of a magnet layer element to the corresponding upper bonding post surfaces of another magnet layer element with a coil layer element disposed between their upper surfaces such that each of the bonding posts passes through a corresponding through hole in the coil layer element.
