Adhesion-Related Failure Mechanisms in Micromechanical Devices
Adhesion-related failures occurs in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) when suspended elastic members unexpectedly stick to their substrates. This type of device failure is one of the dominant sources of yield loss in MEMS. This paper reviews the physical mechanisms responsible for the failure from both the theoretical and practical stand point. In general, the failure requires two different...
متن کاملAlGaN/GaN Micromechanical Devices and Resonant HEMTs
Piezoelectrically actuated micromechanical resonators have been a subject of extensive research for the past decade with the main goal of replacing quartz resonators in timing applications. Aluminum nitride (AlN) has been the main contender as a piezoelectric ceramic replacement for quartz since its low-temperature sputtering process has been developed. In recent years, gallium nitride (GaN) ha...
متن کاملMicromechanical devices for intravascular drug delivery.
Microfabrication technology, more commonly applied to the manufacture of integrated circuits, can be used to build devices useful for mechanical delivery of drugs and genes. Microprobes fabricated using silicon micromachining have been used to deliver DNA into cells as an alternative to bombardment and microinjection. This idea can be extended to intravascular stents with integrated microprobes...
متن کاملSilicon-organic hybrid devices
Silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) devices combine silicon waveguides with a number of specialized materials, ranging from third-order optically-nonlinear molecules to second-order nonlinear polymers and liquid-crystals. Second-order nonlinear materials allow building high-speed and low-voltage electro-optic modulators, which are key components for future silicon-based photonics transceivers. We repo...
متن کاملHybrid silicon evanescent devices
The indirect bandgap of Si has been a key hurdle in the achievement of optical gain elements. Raman lasers and amplifiers1-3 have been demonstrated, and optical gain in nanopatterned Si4 has also been observed, but an electrically pumped all-Si gain element has yet to be realized. An alternative to creating an electrically pumped all-Si gain mechanism is to take prefabricated lasers and couple ...
