In this paper a novel micromachining post-process module applied to the backside of processed wafers for the integration of radio frequency (RF) devices in silicon is presented. A specific… (More)
An electrostatically controlled flexible mirror has been fabricated on a silicon chip by means of bulk micromachining. The mirror has a 10.5 mm × 10.5 mm square aperture and consists of a… (More)
The novel design of a sensing microgripper based on silicon-polymer electrothermal actuators and piezoresistive force-sensing cantilever beams is presented. The actuator consists of a silicon comb… (More)
We present a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) nanoreactor that enables high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (HRTEM) of nanostructured materials with atomic-scale resolution… (More)

We present a new MEMS nanoreactor fully integrated on a single die. It enables atomic-scale imaging of nanostructured materials under the high pressures and temperatures that are typical for many… (More)
A simple mass producible detection array for terahertz radiation has been designed and fabricated. The 1 mm times 1 mm pixels consist of a 0.5 mm times 0.5 mm thin-film absorber on a membrane,… (More)
We demonstrate a novel nanoreactor for performing atomic-resolution environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) of nanostructured materials during exposure to gases at ambient pressures and… (More)
A silicon Fabry-Perot waveguide modulator, operating at the fiber optic communication wavelengths of 1.3 and 1.55 /spl mu/m, has been entirely fabricated using microelectronic techniques. The planar… (More)
This paper presents the fabrication, characterization, and application of a novel silicon-polymer laterally stacked electrothermal microactuator. The actuator consists of a deep silicon skeleton… (More)
In this paper, a thin-film packaging approach is developed. It is meant to provide microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices with hermetic encapsulation that is sufficiently strong for transfer… (More)
