A novel method for joining aluminum and silicon nitride by polysiloxane

Pattern Photoresist Silicon Silicon Nitride Silicon Photoresist Silicon Nitride Silicon Etch Nitride Remove Photoresist

In this proposal we seek to establish a porous silicon based etching process in the WTC microfabrication laboratory. The new process will allow us to etch high aspect ratio holes through a wafer. Holes like these are important for decreasing the dead volume of connections between micro and macro systems and for increasing the complexity of micro-fluidic systems. At the present time, the minimum...

MICROSTRUCTURAL STUDY OF SILICON NITRIDE WHISKERS PRODUCED BY NITRIDATION OF PLASMA-SPRAYED SILICON LAYERS

plasma-sprayed silicon layers have been used to produce silicon nitride layers with fibrous microstructure which optimizes fracture toughness and strength. SEM examination of the specimens shows that the surface is covered by fine needles and whiskers of Si3N4.In order to study the oxygen contamination effect as well as other contaminants introduced during spraying and nitridation processes, su...

Boron-nitride and aluminum-nitride "Pringles" and flapping motion.

Motivated by the recent successful synthesis of a new nanocarbon, namely, a warped, double-concave graphene "Pringle" (Nat. Chem., 2013, 5, 739), we investigate properties of warped boron-nitride (BN) and aluminum-nitride (AlN) analogues, i.e., the non-planar B40N40H30 and Al40N40H30 "Pringles" using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Particular attention is placed on the effect of n...
