T0004 / Soldering wires to sensor contact pads

The tedious and expensive process of attaching SIL contacts to the sensor edges may be advantageously replaced by soldering wires and cables directly to the sensor contact pads. However, this process is a bit more critical, as applying excessive heat can d ...

0-level Vacuum Packaging RT Process for MEMS Resonators

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Cyrille Hibert, Daniel Grogg, Nicolas Abelé

A new Room Temperature (RT) 0-level vacuum package is demonstrated in this work, using amorphous silicon (aSi) as sacrificial layer and SiO2 as structural layer. The process is compatible with most of MEMS resonators and Resonant Suspended-Gate MOSFET [1] ...

Light structuring for massively parallel optical trapping

Johann Rohner

Optical trapping, discovered in the 70's, allows moving and stabilizing small objects which sizes varies from atoms to particles of several microns. This technique, based on momentum conservation, is particularly well suited for manipulating biological mat ...

Thermal-mechanical detector array with integrated diffraction grating

Onur Ferhanoglu

An uncooled thermal detector array with low NETD is designed and fabricated using MEMS bimaterial structures. A diffraction grating is embedded on the pixel membrane for sensing sub-nm mechanical deflections. The first order reflected light was focused on ...

Tunable optofluidic distributed feedback dye lasers

Demetri Psaltis

We demonstrated a continuously tunable optofluidic distributed feedback (DFB) dye laser on a monolithic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer chip. The optical feedback was provided by a phase-shifted higher order Bragg grating embedded in the liquid cor ...
