Platinum silicide films are widely used in silicon devices for ohmic and Schottky contacts. It has been demonstrated in the recent years that Schottky barriers employing ultra-thin platinum silicide films (thickness < 10 nm) are useful for photodetection i ...
A tool and method for flexible and rapid surface patterning technique beyond lithography based on high-resolution shadow mask method, or nanostencil, is presented. This new type of miniaturized shadow mask is fabricated by a combination of MEMS processes a ...
Selective Ga + ion implantation and miring by focused ion beam exposure and subsequent wet chemical etching is used to fabricate micro/nanomechanical elements in Si. Freestanding elements with a ~ 30 nm membrane thickness are made by controlled selective u ...
We report on powder blasting as a promising technology for the three-dimensional structuring of brittle materials. We investigate the basic parameters of this process, which is based on the erosion of a masked substrate by a high-velocity eroding powder be ...
Ferroelectric thin films for memory and MEMS applications require noble metal or refractory metal oxide electrodes. In this paper, physical and chemical parameters during etching of RuO2 and Pr by a dual frequency ECR/RF reactor have been investigated. The ...

We describe a new O-ring setup for wet-etching processes of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) . Our new low-cost approach using siloxane-based seal rings entails the single-side etching of silicon and silicon dioxide using potassium hydroxide and buffe ...
