    摘要: The present invention is an active micromechanical electronic device of extremely small physical size, such that the device can take advantage of the quantum-mechanical phenomenon of electron tunneling. The device is produced using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) electron beam lithography. In operation, the gap between the tip of the beam and the drain contact is small enough (typically tens of angstroms) that electron tunneling occurs across the gap between the tip of the beam and the drain contact occurs, with the amount of resulting electron flow dependent on the width of the gap between the tip and the drain contact. The device acts as a controlled current source whose output is dependent on the mechanical position of the beam tip with respect to the drain contact. The tip to drain spacing varies due to the electrostatic force presented between the beam and the gate contact.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for reducing branching, reducing defects, and improving the overall surface morphology of silicon on insulator (SOI) structures produced by Zone Melting and Recrystallization (ZMR) is described. A special heater for use in preparing SOI structures formed by ZMR comprises a graphite mass having corrugations extending along one or more side walls and which may be periodic. The heater provides concentrated regions of heat which vary periodically across the length of the molten zone of the SOI structure. Alternatively, the heater comprises a stationary lower heater member upon which the wafer is placed and a movable upper heater member having corrugations. ZMR is achieved by translating the corrugated upper heater member past the wafer. In yet another alternative, a well known strip heater having a uniformly shaped movable upper member is improved by replacing the upper member with a movable upper heater member having corrugations.

    摘要: A method of creating plastically deformed devices which have a three dimensional aspect. Micromechanical structures are created from a material which is plastically deformable and then a section of the structure is bent to an out-of-plane position and can be maintained there without being supported by other mechanical devices such as latches or hinges. The bending of the structures may be done mechanically, by electrostatic forces or by magnetic forces. The bending can also be done in a batch mode where a plurality of devices are bent at the same time as part of the same process. Fuses can be utilized to allow only a predetermined number of devices to be bent in batch mode. The fuses are later blown, thereby providing a plurality of devices which are relatively parallel to the substrate as well as a plurality of devices which are generally out-of-plane with respect to the substrate.
