Thermal profiles within the channel of planar gunn diodes using micro-particle sensors [PDF]
The paper describes the use of a novel microparticle sensor (~3 μm diameter) and infra-red (IR) microscopy to measure the temperature profile within the active channel (typically 3 μm length and 120 μm width) of planar Gunn diodes. The method has enabled

Characterization of CMOS-MEMS Resonant Pressure Sensors [PDF]
IEEE Comprehensive characterization results of a CMOS-MEMS resonant pressure sensor are presented. We have extensively evaluated the key performance parameters of our device in terms of quality factor (Q) variations under variable conditions of temperature and pressure, characterized by Knudsen number (Kn).
