Silicon microcantilevers with MOSFET detection
We report the fabrication of silicon microcantilevers with MOSFET detection, to be used in force measurements for biomolecular detection. Thin cantilevers are required for a high force sensitivity. Therefore the source and drain of the transistors have been fabricated by As implantation to obtain shallow PN junctions. The cantilevers have been oriented on the non-standard (100) crystallographic...
متن کاملModeling of Photoinduced Deformation in Silicon Microcantilevers
A model for prediction the photostriction effect in silicon microcantilevers is built up based on the fundamentals of mechanics and semiconductor physics. By considering the spatial distribution and surface recombination of photoinduced carriers in silicon, the model interprets the cause of the photoinduced bending. The results from our model much more closely approximate the experimental value...
متن کاملPolymer microcantilevers fabricated via multiphoton absorption polymerization
We have used multiphoton absorption polymerization to fabricate a series of microscale polymer cantilevers. Atomic force microscopy has been used to characterize the mechanical properties of microcantilevers with spring constants that were found to span more than four decades. From these data, we extracted a Young’s modulus of E=0.44 GPa for these microscale cantilevers. The wide stiffness rang...
متن کاملUltrasensitive graphene far-infrared power detectors.
We describe the properties of ultrasensitive graphene photon detectors for use in the far-infrared/terahertz spectral region and present theoretical predictions for their power detection sensitivity. These predictions are based on two graphene contacting schemes with superconducting contacts: contacts with a thin insulating barrier, and direct superconducting contacts. To quantitatively assess ...
متن کاملSilicon Carbide Neutron Detectors
The potential of Silicon Carbide (SiC) for use in semiconductor nuclear radiation detectors has been long recognized. In fact, the first SiC neutron detector was demonstrated more than fifty years ago (Babcock, et al., 1957; Babcock & Chang, 1963). This detector was shown to be operational in limited testing at temperatures up to 700 oC. Unfortunately, further development was limited by the poo...
