Orthopedic applications of silicon nitride ceramics.
Silicon nitride (Si(3)N(4)) is a ceramic material developed for industrial applications that demand high strength and fracture resistance under extreme operating conditions. Recently, Si(3)N(4) has been used as an orthopedic biomaterial, to promote bone fusion in spinal surgery and to develop bearings that can improve the wear and longevity of prosthetic hip and knee joints. Si(3)N(4) has been ...
متن کاملSilane Safety in Amorphous Silicon and Silicon Nitride Operations
The PV industry is one of the fastest growing industries in Europe, the United States, and Japan. As PV manufacturing is scaled-up to meet a growing demand, preserving the safe, environmentally friendly nature of the industry becomes even more important. Silane is one of the inherently dangerous materials used in the deposition of silicon nitride (SiN3) and amorphous silicon (a-Si). In this pap...
متن کاملInterface structure and atomic bonding characteristics in silicon nitride ceramics.
Direct atomic resolution images have been obtained that illustrate how a range of rare-earth atoms bond to the interface between the intergranular phase and the matrix grains in an advanced silicon nitride ceramic. It has been found that each rare-earth atom bonds to the interface at a different location, depending on atom size, electronic configuration, and the presence of oxygen at the interf...
متن کاملIntegration of amorphous and polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors through selective crystallization of amorphous silicon
Selective exposure of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon ~a-Si:H! film to a room-temperature hydrogen plasma using a patterned masking layer and a subsequent anneal at 600 °C, results in patterned polycrystalline and amorphous silicon regions. However, most of the hydrogen in the amorphous silicon is lost, leading to severe degradation in its properties. In this letter, we report the rehydrogenat...
متن کاملMicrostructure of Spark Plasma-Sintered Silicon Nitride Ceramics
The microstructure and phase composition of the high-content Al2O3-Y2O3-doped spark plasma-sintered silicon nitride were investigated. Fully dense silicon nitride ceramics with a typical α-Si3N4 equiaxed structure with average grain size from 200 to 530 nm, high elastic modulus of 288 GPa, and high hardness of 2038 HV were spark plasma sintered (SPSed) at 1550 °C. Silicon nitride with elongated...
