    摘要: The disclosure relates to method and apparatus for micro-contact printing of micro-electromechanical systems (“MEMS”) in a solvent-free environment. The disclosed embodiments enable forming a composite membrane over a parylene layer and transferring the composite structure to a receiving structure to form one or more microcavities covered by the composite membrane. The parylene film may have a thickness in the range of about 100 nm-2 microns; 100 nm-1 micron, 200-300 nm, 300-500 nm, 500 nm to 1 micron and 1-30 microns. Next, one or more secondary layers are formed over the parylene to create a composite membrane. The composite membrane may have a thickness of about 100 nm to 700 nm to several microns. The composite membrane's deflection in response to external forces can be measured to provide a contact-less detector. Conversely, the composite membrane may be actuated using an external bias to cause deflection commensurate with the applied bias. Applications of the disclosed embodiments include tunable lasers, microphones, microspeakers, remotely-activated contact-less pressure sensors and the like.

    摘要: A fabrication method produces Si compatible light-emitting materials showing sizeable optical gain by thermally annealing thin film layers of Si-rich nitride (SiNx) By utilizing the Si compatible light-emitting material, light emitting devices can be fabricated that are compatible with CMOS processes. The Si compatible light-emitting material is a high index (refractive index ranging from 1.6 to 2.3) material allowing flexible design of high confinements photonic devices with strong structural stability with respect to annealing treatments. The Si compatible light-emitting material realizes broad band light emission by allowing resonant coupling with rare earth atoms and other infrared emitting quantum dots and better electrical conduction properties with respect to SiO2 systems. The Si compatible light-emitting material also realizes high transparency (low pumping and modal losses) in the visible range.
