摘要: Abstract Diamond is a superhard, wide bandgap, semiconductor material of high mechanical strength and thermal stability therefore an ideal candidate for micro electromechanical devices. Using these properties in diamond-on-Si technology, number sensors actuators have been attempted. However, their industrial implementation lags far behind that silicon microelectromechanical systems (Si-MEMS) technologies. In this study, highly oriented chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond films were deposited on large area Si-substrates, micromachined into structured membranes applied to two demonstrators: seismic mass membrane acceleration sensor liquid ejector based microspot heater. the outstanding extreme are already widely reflected performance demonstrators. The technology may be scaled implemented existing Si-based microsystem technologies open up possibility integrate MEMS mainstream.
