摘要:
An efficient deposition process is provided for fabricating reliable RF MEMS capacitive switches with multilayer ultrananocrystalline (UNCD) films for more rapid recovery, charging and discharging that is effective for more than a billion cycles of operation. Significantly, the deposition process is compatible for integration with CMOS electronics and thereby can provide monolithically integrated RF MEMS capacitive switches for use with CMOS electronic devices, such as for insertion into phase array antennas for radars and other RF communication systems.

A system and method for transparent diamond semiconductor electronics are provided. The system may include a transparent substrate, a diamond active layer, a conductive layer, and an application that incorporates the transparent layer, the diamond layer, and the conductive layer. The method may include selecting a transparent substrate, creating a diamond material having a diamond lattice on the substrate, introducing acceptor dopant atoms to the diamond lattice to create ion tracks, introducing substitutional dopant atoms, annealing the diamond lattice, adding a conductive layer to the diamond lattice, and incorporating the substrate, and the diamond lattice, and the conductive layer into an application.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated nanoprobes and methods for fabricating such nanoprobes are provided. The nanoprobes provide hard, wear-resistant, low friction probes for use in such applications as atomic force microscopy, nanomachining, nanotribology, metrology and nanolithography. The diamond-like carbon coatings include a carbon implantation layer which increases adhesion of a deposited DLC layer to an underlying nanoprobe tip.
摘要:
A monolithically integrated 3-D membrane or diaphragm/tip (called 3-D tip) of substantially all UNCD having a tip with a radius of about less than 50 nm capable of measuring forces in all three dimensions or being used as single tips or in large arrays for imprint of data on memory media, fabrication of nanodots of different materials on different substrates and many other uses such as nanolithography production of nanodots of biomaterials on substrates, etc. A method of molding UNCD is disclosed including providing a substrate with a predetermined pattern and depositing an oxide layer prior to depositing a carbide-forming metallic seed layer, followed by seeding with diamond nano or micropowder in solvent suspension, or mechanically polishing with diamond powder, or any other seeding method, followed by UNCD film growth conforming to the predetermined pattern. Thereafter, one or more steps of masking and/or etching and/or coating and/or selective removal and/or patterning and/or electroforming and/or lapping and/or polishing are used in any combination to form the tip or probe.
