    摘要: A variable capacitor, a microfabricated implantable pressure sensor including a variable capacitor and an inductor, and related pressure measurement and implantation methods. The inductor may have a fixed or variable inductance. A variable capacitor and pressure sensors include a flexible member that is disposed on a substrate and defines a chamber. Capacitor elements extend indirectly from the flexible member. Sufficient fluidic pressure applied to an exterior surface of the flexible member causes the flexible member to move or deform, thus causing the capacitance and/or inductance to change. Resulting changes in resonant frequency or impedance can be detected to determine pressure, e.g., intraocular pressure.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing biologically compatible pockets or envelopes that can contain chips and other circuit elements and can make electrical connection between those elements and living organisms. The assembled biologically compatible pockets and circuit components can have biomedical applications, such as bioimplantable devices such as retinal, cochlear and cortical prosthesis implants, muscular stimulators, and other uses. In various embodiments, the described technology explains how to make and use pocket systems for dealing with chips having connectors on one or two surfaces, and with other circuit components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors and transistors. Operation of chips encapsulated according to the described technology is demonstrated. Accelerated life testing suggests that the pocket systems described will survive for years at 37 degrees C.

    摘要: A method of making carbon thin films comprises depositing a catalyst on a substrate, depositing a hydrocarbon in contact with the catalyst and pyrolyzing the hydrocarbon. A method of controlling a carbon thin film density comprises etching a cavity into a substrate, depositing a hydrocarbon into the cavity, and pyrolyzing the hydrocarbon while in the cavity to form a carbon thin film. Controlling a carbon thin film density is achieved by changing the volume of the cavity. Methods of making carbon containing patterned structures are also provided. Carbon thin films and carbon containing patterned structures can be used in NEMS, MEMS, liquid chromatography, and sensor devices.
