LPCVD Silicon Dioxide Sacrificial Layer Etching for Surface Micromachining

open access: yes, 1992
The key step in producing a movable microstructure is the controllable sacrificial layer etching process. For the current study, a 1 μm silicon-rich silicon nitride structural layer was deposited on a 2 μm phosphosilicate glass (PSG) sacrificial layer ...

Buckling of polysilicon microbeams during sacrificial layer removal [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, 1998
In situ observations of buckling evolution of polysilicon microbeams during etch of the underneath sacrificial layer were carried out under an optical microscope. The surface geometry was obtained by AFM measurements. As the etching progressed, three buckling patterns were identified. Closed formulas were derived from theoretical analysis based on both

Light‐Actuated Fiber‐Climbing Inchworm Robot Toward Endoluminal Navigation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A kirigami‐inspired soft inchworm robot harnesses optical energy from a customized side‐emitting optical fiber, guaranteeing its propulsion along the fiber body. The wavelength‐selective responsiveness of dye‐functionalized liquid crystal elastomers and the application of temporal illumination patterns enable sequential control of robot components. The

Study on the Splash Zone Corrosion Protection of Carbon Steel by Sacrificial Anode

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2012
The reason that sacrificial anode can not work properly in the area of splashed zone is that there is no stable electrolytes around the metalwork to enable the anode to function.
