Generation of molecular nitrogen in chromium nitride and chromium oxynitride films
We describe the radiation damage in chromium nitride and chromium oxynitride films which occurs by electron beam radiation within the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The beam damage has been monitored by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in TEM image mode using a 200 kV Philips CM20 (S)TEM with a LaB6-cathode, equipped with a Gatan Imaging Filter (GIF). The CrN samples (CrN and C...
متن کاملNested potassium hydroxide etching and protective coatings for silicon-based microreactors
We have developed a multilayer, multichannel microfabricated reactor that uses elemental fluorine as a reagent and generates hydrogen fluoride as a byproduct. Nested potassium hydroxide etching (using silicon nitride and silicon oxide as masking materials) was developed to create a large number of channels (60 reaction channels connected to individual gas and liquid distributors) of significant...
متن کاملDirect Observation of Unstained Biological Specimens in Water by the Frequency Transmission Electric-Field Method Using SEM
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a powerful tool for the direct visualization of biological specimens at nanometre-scale resolution. However, images of unstained specimens in water using an atmospheric holder exhibit very poor contrast and heavy radiation damage. Here, we present a new form of microscopy, the frequency transmission electric-field (FTE) method using SEM, that offers low rad...
متن کاملAFM-Assisted Etching and Electrical Characterization of Graphene
A pressure sensor, consisting of graphene transferred onto a chromium/ gold (Cr/Au) electrode and a silicon nitride (Si3N4) membrane, exhibits ultra high sensitivity. The device’s high piezoresistivity was explored, and further measurements on the fabricated devices were taken for optimal design. Where typical, medical-grade pressure transducers have a sensitivity of 10 mV/V/ mmHg, our device m...
متن کاملSelective wet-etching of filtered arc deposited TiN films on Cr sacrificial layers
Titanium Nitride (TiN) is a wear resistant and complementary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) compatible material that is increasingly being investigated for MEMS applications. Incorporating any new material into a MEMS device requires the development of a processing strategy. This paper discusses a wet-etching strategy for patterning and releasing TiN features on Cr sacrificial layers. Filtered arc ...
