By depositing the materials directly from the gas phase, without liquid phase coming in contact with the substrate, we aim at avoiding the limitations encountered when ink-jet printing organic materials. The MEMS printhead comports an array of 2 micron pores and an integrated thin film platinum heater on a silicon membrane for local evaporation of the materials. This printhead was used, together with ink-jet technology for the delivery of material to the pores, to print molecular organic semiconductors. Our technique enables printing of organic optoelectronics over large areas, and is thus a critical element in the realization of large-area, high-speed, and low-cost printing of optoelectronics.","PeriodicalId":23295,"journal":{"name":"TRANSDUCERS 2007 - 2007 International Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems Conference","volume":"57 1","pages":"121-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79811990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The behavior of shear horizontal (SH) leaky type SAW propagating on pre-stressed LiNbO3 substrate was investigated using partial-wave-analysis. Referring to the finite element methods (FEM), the pressure sensitivity in the propagation path of SAW was calculated and the effect of the diaphragm thickness on the sensor performance was also studied, which shows proper thickness of LiNbO3 diaphragm makes it possible to obtain better sensitivity than quartz. Theoretical results were verified by the sensor experiment. We have developed a pressure sensor on 41deg-YX LiNbO3 integrated with temperature sensor and 8-bits ID tag, which was structured by 440 MHz two-layered-RDL, in which a - 150 mum cavity was designed by Ni electroplating.

Top angular velocity of 517 rpm corresponding to the linear tip velocity of 324 mm/s was measured at 150 V and 800 Hz excitation. This is 44 times higher than the velocity previously measured for the linear micromotors supported on microball bearings.
