In order to decrease the dark current of a pn junction photodetector together with improving its photoelectric response, thinning of a silicon wafer can be achieved without losing its mechanical resistance by a special etching process performed on both sides of the wafer. Corrugated microstructures were obtained by photolithographic and anisotropic etching procedures on silicon wafers meant to be used in photodetecting devices and optical measurements were performed.

The improvement of pattern resolution for microsystems fabrication is certainly a proven method for increasing of micro and nanostructure density. Our novel laser technology could be applied for thin metal or alloy films on polymer substrates, which could be structured directly with the laser direct patterning process. So is possible to manufacture ultrafine conductive or reflective structures down to 15 /spl mu/m in an economical and environmentally friendly way. Increasing demand on the accuracy of microsystems and sensors requires microstructures with lines and spaces down of approximately 5-100 /spl mu/m.

Effect of Bi additives on the piezoelectric properties of PT ceramics having the formula (Pb1-3x/2Bix)(Ti0.98Mn0.02)O 3 with x=0.04, 0.06, 0.08 was investigated. The samples were prepared by conventional ceramic technique, using p.a. purity raw materials. The mixed powders were sintered at temperatures between 1050-1300degC. Poling was done in fields of about 70 kV/cm. Density and coupling factors of the samples were determined as a function of sintering temperatures, and doping level. Temperature dependence of the main piezoelectric characteristics was also investigated for temperatures as high as 500degC. A Curie point of 450degC, a low dielectric constant (<140) and a large electromechanical anisotropy (the radial mode is nearly inexistent, at room temperature and the thickness coupling factor is about 0.4) were found. These enhanced properties make such ceramics very attractive for high temperature and high frequency transducers applications

The electric field effect (EFE) in a coaxial cylindrical capacitor configuration was used to study the modification of transport and thermoelectric properties of semiconductor PbTe and Bi2Te3 glass coated microwires. The first results of experimental measurements of wire transport properties under EFE show the increasing or decreasing of the average Seebeck coefficient in dependence of gate potential polarity in accordance with the theoretical analysis

The paper presents indium tin oxide and cerium dioxide thin films obtained by sol-gel method and deposited on the different wood substrates. Films deposition was performed by immersion of the substrates into coating solution and flow-coating process. Investigation of the surface chemistry and morphology of the wood substrates before and after deposition were obtained by means of atomic force microscopy and optical microscopy. The sol-gel deposit on the wood substrates lowered the rates of water and water vapour sorption (absorption and/or adsorption)

In this paper a new approach to obtain low losses coplanar waveguide (CPW) lines is described. A photolithographic process is performed by using SU-S thick negative photo-resist on low resistivity silicon to obtain CPW lines elevated with respect to the substrate to get the advantages from transmission line structures which are almost on-the-air.

The Silicon On Insulator technology has reached a new stage through the nanodevices way: Silicon On Nothing, where "Nothing" means a vacuum cavity underneath an ultrathin Si film. A mobile and thin semiconductor membrane results, by enlarging the cavity. In the empty space can be handled a bioliquid using a diffuser/nozzle micropump. The mobile Si membrane is bending by the substrate biasing and plays a double role: as actuator and detector. This paper presents a MEMS, based on a new work principle than traditional ISFETs, which detects the ionic analytes from a bioliquid and has its own actuator for the microfluidic handle.
