摘要:
A micro-electromechanical device or MEMS having a conformal layer of material deposited by atomic layer deposition is discussed. The layer may provide physical protection to moving components of the device, may insulate electrical components of the device, may present a biocompatible surface interface to a biological system, and may otherwise improve such devices. The layer may also comprise a combination of multiple materials each deposited with great control to allow creating layers of customizable properties and to allow creating layers having multiple independent functions, such as providing physical protection from wear and providing electrical insulation.
摘要:
A method of preparing tunable inorganic patterned nanofeatures by infiltration of a block copolymer scaffold having a plurality of self-assembled periodic polymer microdomains. The method may be used sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS), related to atomic layer deposition (ALD). The method includes selecting a metal precursor that is configured to selectively react with the copolymer unit defining the microdomain but is substantially non-reactive with another polymer unit of the copolymer. A tunable inorganic features is selectively formed on the microdomain to form a hybrid organic/inorganic composite material of the metal precursor and a co-reactant. The organic component may be optionally removed to obtain an inorganic features with patterned nanostructures defined by the configuration of the microdomain.
摘要:
A method of preparing a superconducting thin film of niobium silicide using atomic layer deposition (ALD) where the superconducting critical temperature of the film is controllable by modulating the thickness of the thin film. The film is formed by exposing a substrate within an ALD reactor to alternating exposures of a niobium halide (NbQx) and a reducing precursor, for example, disilane (Si2H6) or silane (SiH4). A number of ALD cycles are performed to obtain the film thickness and establish the desired superconducting critical temperature between 0.4 K and 3.1 K.

摘要:
A digital pattern generator has a MEMS substrate with a plurality of doping layers and a plurality of insulating layers between respective doping layers. A plurality of lenslets are formed as holes through the substrate. A charge drain coating is applied to the inner surfaces of the lenslets. The charge drain coating drains electrons that come into contact with the charge drain coating so that the performance of the digital pattern generator will not be hindered by electron charge build-up. The charge drain coating includes a doping material that coalesces into clusters that are embedded within a high dielectric insulating material.

The charge drain coating may be applied to surfaces of an electron-optical device to drain electrons that come into contact with the charge drain coating so that the performance of the electron-optical device will not be hindered by electron charge build-up. The charge drain coating may include a doping material that coalesces into clusters that are embedded within a high dielectric insulating material. The charge drain coating may be deposited onto the inner surfaces of lenslets of the electron-optical device.

摘要:
Extremely smooth (6 nm roughness) and continuous ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) thin films were achieved by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition using a thin 10 nm tungsten (W) interlayer between the silicon (Si) substrate and the diamond film. The W interlayer significantly increased the initial UNCD nucleation density to >1012 sites/cm2, thereby lowering the surface roughness and eliminating interfacial voids. A method is also disclosed to make various articles.
