Reshaping of Single-Crystal Silicon Microstructures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the reshaping technology for realizing three-dimensional (3-D) microstructures through plastic deformation of single-crystal silicon (SCS) films by applying Joule heating. SCS beams are used for determining the behavior of SCS microstructures during reshaping. The reshaped SCS structure has a sharp corner at a point where stress and heat are concentrated. The plastic deformation caused by flow stress results in permanent 3-D shapes.

Post-CMOS Processing for High-Aspect-Ratio Integrated Silicon Microstructures
We present a new fabrication sequence for integrated-silicon microstructures designed and manufactured in a conventional complentary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) process. The sequence employs a post-CMOS deep silicon backside etch, which allows fabrication of high aspect ratio (25:1) and flat (greater than 10 mm radius of curvature) MEMS devices with integrated circuitry. A comb-drive reson...
متن کاملGouy phase shift of single-cycle picosecond acoustic pulses
Ultrafast laser pulses are used to generate single-cycle picosecond acoustic pulses in thin metal films on silicon. For small initial excitation spot sizes, propagation of the acoustic pulses across a 485-mm Si crystal leads to significant diffraction effects. The temporal reshaping of the acoustic wave form due to diffraction is investigated, and we demonstrate that the acoustic far field can ...

متن کاملPlastic Deformation of Micromachined Silicon Diaphragms with a Sealed Cavity at High Temperatures
Single crystal silicon (SCS) diaphragms are widely used as pressure sensitive elements in micromachined pressure sensors. However, for harsh environments applications, pure silicon diaphragms are hardly used because of the deterioration of SCS in both electrical and mechanical properties. To survive at the elevated temperature, the silicon structures must work in combination with other advanced...
متن کاملCharacterization of oxide scales thermally formed on single-crystal silicon carbide.
Microstructures of oxide scales thermally formed on single-crystal silicon carbide were investigated using transmission electron microscopy. The oxide scales were formed on the Si-face of 6H-SiC at 1273-1473 K in dry oxygen. Spherical patterns were observed on the surfaces of the oxidized samples by an optical microscope in some regions. In these regions, cross-sectional transmission electron m...
