Non-silicon surface micromachining technology, which uses copper layer as the sacrificial layer and the electroplated ferronickel as the structure layer, was used to fabricate the shutter. The magnetic and mechanical behaviour of the device was investigated by using analytical methods and ANSYS FEM, and some its geometric structural parameters were then optimized.

Assuming a two-step trap-assisted inelastic tunneling mechanism, conduction of electrons through silicon dioxide films proceeds as follows: First, electrons tunnel from the cathode into neutral trap sites followed by an energy relaxation into the lowest available energy state of these trap sites. Finally, electrons reach the anode by a direct tunneling process. Modeling SILC characteristics of a stressed 6.8-nm-thick SiO/sub 2/ film reveal a trap site location at 4.47 nm relative to the cathode interface. SILCs in the thickness range from 5.1 to 9.6-nm can be explained by the linear increase of the trap sheet charge density on oxide thickness, which suppresses local tunneling currents between cathode interface and trap sites by a reduction of the local oxide electric field.","PeriodicalId":349087,"journal":{"name":"2001 6th International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology.

It is found that the frequency of TO mode downshifts with increasing excited photon energy without significantly changing its width, while LO mode expands to a large extent. The above results suggest that the variation of LO and TO mode is caused by resonant Raman effect. With the increasing of excitation energy, smaller a-Si clusters are excited thus results in large redshift of TO band according to the quantum confinement effect, another possible explanation may be related with the existing of a highly disordered layer near the free surface in a-Si:H film. In conjunction with observation of LO band variation, we further deduce that the highly disordered layer may have lower H content.","PeriodicalId":349087,"journal":{"name":"2001 6th International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology.

Deposition metal can be produced using organometallic precursor materials. FIB induced deposition of platinum from a precursor gas of (C/sub 5/H/sub 4/)CH/sub 3/Pt(CH/sub 3/)/sub 3/ has been demonstrated in recent years. In this paper, the resistivity and composition of the deposited metal film induced by FIB and the deposition rate have been measured as a function of ion current density.
