Recent Developments in Mems-Based Micro Fuel Cells [PDF]
Micro fuel cells ($\mu$-FC) represent promising power sources for portable applications. Today, one of the technological ways to make $\mu$-FC is to have recourse to standard microfabrication techniques used in the fabrication of micro electromechanical ...

Detachable three-layer Au absorber microfabrication for low-temperature detectors
Low temperature detectors (LTDs) used for decay energy spectrometry (DES) can provide accurate and reliable decay data thanks to their high-energy resolution and a near 100% detection efficiency for the radiations of interest. However, it is essential to

Method to pattern etch masks in two inclined planes for three-dimensional nano- and microfabrication [PDF]
The authors present a method to pattern etch masks for arbitrary nano- and microstructures on different, inclined planes of a sample. Our method allows standard CMOS fabrication techniques to be used in different inclined planes; thus yielding three-dimensional structures with a network topology.

High Aspect Ratio, Superconducting Vacuum Gap Capacitor NEMS with Plate Distances Down to 32 nm
Fabrication of aluminium vacuum gap capacitor based NEMS is investigated with a free to move top electrode. To avoid collapse of the top electrode vertical stress gradient is controlled through sputter parameters. The result is wafer‐level high‐yield fabrication of vacuum gap capacitors with radii between 7 µm and 30 µm and integrated piezoactuators. A

Impact of open de-ionized water thin film laminar immersion on the liquid immersed ablation threshold and ablation rate of features machined by KrF excimer laser ablation of bisphenol A polycarbonate [PDF]
Debris control and surface quality are potential major benefits of sample liquid immersion when laser micromachining; however, the use of an immersion technique potentially modifies the ablation mechanism when compared to an ambient air interaction.

Artificially Weaved Textile‐like Surface Micromachined Graphene‐Polymer Flexible Bioelectrodes
This study reports on the engineering of microscale textured surfaces of SU‐8/PMMA polymer composites much like a “weft‐warp” pattern to resemble “artificially‐weaved” textiles. These microstructured surfaces enable conformal layering of functional reduced graphene oxide (rGO), all‐in‐all offering favorable features including remarkable self ...

A novel multi‐stamping on multi‐prestrain (MSMP) process is proposed, where sensor elements are transferred onto a substrate under different prestrains (0–150%) within a single integrated platform. This MSMP approach not only resolves the mismatch issue in stretchable wearable electronics, but also ensures that each sensor element exhibits optimal ...
