Single crystal silicon (SCS) is used in a variety of microsensor applications in which stresses and other mechanical effects may dominate device performance. The authers model temperature dependent mechnical properties during focused io beam(FIB) cutting and Pt deposition processes. In microaccelero-meter manufacturing process, this paper intend to find thermal displacement change of the temperature by tunnel gap, additional beam part and pt deposition. The thermal analysis intend to use ANSYS V5.5.3.

Highly sensitive and mechanically stable gas sensors have been fabricated using the microfabrication and micromachining techniques. The sensing materials used to detect the offensive $CH_3SH$ and $(CH_3)_3N$ gases are 1 wt% Pd-doped $SnO_2$ and 6 wt% $Al_2O_3$-doped ZnO, respectively. The optimum operating temperatures of the devices are $250^{\circ}C$ and $350^{\circ}C$ for $CH_3SH$ and $(CH_3)_3N$, respectively and the corresponding heater power is, respectively, about 55mW and 85mW. Excellent thermal insulation is achieved by the use of a double-layer membrane: i.e. $0.2{\mu}m$-thick silicon nitride and $1.4{\mu}m$-thick phosphosilicate glass. The sensors are mechanically stable enough to endure the heat cycles between room temperature and $350^{\circ}C$, at least for 30 days.

Silicon on insulator(SOI) wafer is used in a variety of microsensor applications in which thermal deformations and other mechanical effects may dominate device Performance. One of major Problems associated with the manufacturing Processes of the microaccelerometer based on the tunneling current concept is thermal deformations and thermal stresses. This paper deals with finite element analysis(FEA) of residual thermal deformations causing popping up, which are induced in micrormaching processes of a microaccelerometer. The reason for this Popping up phenomenon in manufacturing processes of microaccelerometer may be the bending of the whole wafer or it may come from the way the underetching occurs. We want to seek after the real cause of this popping up phenomenon and diminish this by changing manufacturing processes of mic개accelerometer. In microaccelerometer manufacturing process, this paper intend to find thermal deformation change of the temperature distribution by tunnel gap and additional beams. The thermal behaviors analysis intend to use ANSYS V5.5.3.

It is well-known that rectangular bulk-Si sensors prepared by etch or epi etch-stop micromachining technology are already in practical use today, but the conventional bulk-Si sensor shows some drawbacks such as large chip size and limited applications as silicon sensor device is to be miniaturized. We consider a circular-shape SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) micro-cavity technology to facilitate multiple sensors on very small chip, to make device easier to package than conventional sensor like pressure sensor and to provide very high over-pressure capability. This paper demonstrates the cross-functional results for stress analyses(targeting $5{\mu}m$ deflection and 100MPa stress as maximum at various applicable pressure ranges), for finding permissible diaphragm dimension by output sensitivity, and piezoresistive sensor theory from two-type SOI structures where the double SOI structure shows the most feasible deflection and small stress at various ambient pressures. Those results can be compared with the ones of circular-shape bulk-Si based sensor$^{[17]}. The SOI micro-cavity formed the sensors is promising to integrate with calibration, gain stage and controller unit plus high current/high voltage CMOS drivers onto monolithic chip.

This paper describes the preparation of boron-doped polycrystalline diamond thin film whose electrical resitivity is lower than $10^{-1}\Omega$cm. The 1$\times$1$\textrm{mm}^2$ microelectrodes, its conducting line with 0.2mm wide and 0.5$\times$0.5$\textrm{mm}^2$ pads was patterned by reactive ion beam etching. A glucose microsensor based on diamond film microelectrode and pyramidal containment produced on silicon by anisotropic etching was developed. Its advantages are high sensitivity and high stability.
