Hermiticity is an essential requirement of a MEMS package for a device to work properly. Hermeticity also must be preserved during the operations following packaging, during which the package bond should not remelt. Bonding temperature is limited however t ...
Matching the scale of microfluidic flow systems with that of microelectronic chips for realizing monolithically integrated systems still needs to be accomplished. However, this is appealing only if such re-scaling does not compromise the fluidic throughput ...
This paper reports on low-temperature and hermetic thin-film indium bonding for wafer-level encapsulation and packaging of delicate and temperature sensitive devices. This indium-bonding technology enables bonding of surface materials commonly used in MEMS ...
Pressure lies at the basis of operation of most microfluidic systems, and is a determinant factor in the extent of miniaturization and in limiting the throughput and time constant of the microfluidic assays. Despite the apparent importance given to fluidic ...
We present a comprehensive study of Er(trensal) single-ion magnets deposited in ultrahigh vacuum onto metallic surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that the molecular structure is preserved after sublimation, and that the molecules are physis ...
During the last decades, the growing interest for single-cell analysis has led to the creation of a number of microfluidic and lab-on-a chip (LOC) platforms for characterizing cellular samples. In that context label-free based platforms are minimally invas ...
This project aims to prove of the feasibility of Silicon Fusion Bonding for fabrication of micro- capillaries for gas cooling down. An optimal recipe for Silicon Fusion Bonding is developed, consisting of four steps: RCA cleaning, surface activation with O ...
Integrated circuit packaging technology has become a prime design consideration for the develop-ment of electronic system concepts. One key issue is the bonding layer between chip and substrate. Currently, high-lead solder materials are being used, which a ...
This thesis aims at demonstrating a novel technique for the characterization of interfaces obtained by a CMOS-compatible Surface Activated Bonding (SAB) process between silicon wafers. This enables the optimization of the two main components of monolithic ...
The development of new processes for the selective and sustainable transformation of abundant small molecules constitutes one of the major research areas in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. These molecules as CO2, CO, N2 and H2 are abundant reservoi ...
