چکیده

Resumen A novel way to obtain aluminum oxidation using a DC oxygen plasma is described. It is shown that the alumina layer is 50 nm thick and the oxidation results in a stochiometric formation of Al2O3. The influence on the oxidation of the electrode distance and pressure are studied. By analysing the experimental data, we find that the kinematics of oxide growth can be described as having two main contributions coming from the plasma and the surrounding ionized gas.

VERY DEEP TRENCHES IN SILICON WAFER USING DRIE METHOD WITH ALUMINUM MASK

Abstract: In this paper, a DRIE process for fabricating MEMS silicon trenches with a depth of more than 250 m is described. The DRIE was produced in oxygen-added sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) plasma, with sample cooling to cryogenic temperature using a Plasmalab System 100 ICP 180 at different RF powers. A series of experiments were performed to determine the etch rate and selectivity of the some m...

THE OXIDATION RESISTANCE OF HIGH ALUMINUM HEAT RESISTANT STEELS

Abstract: In this research, the oxidation behaviour of high Aluminum heat resistant steel (%25Cr,%20Ni,%8Al) hasbeen evaluated at the temperature range of (1000-1300ºC).The results showed that there was no countinous healinglayer on the surface of the alloy when Al increased up to %5.5 and the oxidation resistance of steel decreased due toformation of spinel oxides on the surface.By increasing ...

Surface oxidation of Al masks for deep dry-etch of silica optical waveguides

The surface oxidation of Al metal masks in an oxygen plasma was studied for realizing deep dry-etch of silica optical waveguides. The oxidation efficiency of the plasma was found to depend on mainly substrate bias and plasma power. Net sputtering effect happened when ion bombarding potential exceeds certain critical value. However, suitable ion bombarding energy is of benefit to the oxidation p...

Characterization of Oxide Film Formed on Ck45 Steel by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Method

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is the new, environmentally and cost-effective method for coating the metals. This method vastly has been studied for coating Aluminum, Titanium and Magnesium and their alloys and recently for steel. In present study, Ck45 steel samples were coated by PEO method in order to improve corrosion resistance. During this process specimens were immerged in carbonate...
