The high porosity and uniform pore size of mesoporous oxide films offer unique opportunities for microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices that require low density and low thermal conductivity. This paper provides the first report in which mesoporous films were adapted for MEMS applications. Mesoporous SiO2 and Al2O3 films were prepared by spin coating using block copolymers as the structure-directing agents. The resulting films were over 50% porous with uniform pores of 8-nm average diameter and an extremely smooth surface. The photopatterning and etching characteristics of the mesoporous films were investigated and processing protocols were established which enabled the films to serve as the sacrificial layer or the structure layer in MEMS devices. The unique mesoporous morphology leads to novel behavior including extremely high etching rates and the ability to etch underlying layers. Surface micromachining methods were used to fabricate three basic MEMS structures, microbridges, cantilevers, and membranes, from the mesoporous oxides.

The mesoporous structures of tin oxide were obtained by a simple method of one-stage electrochemical anodizing of Sn foil in 1M NaOH in various anodizing modes. Anodizing in the pulse potentiostatic mode allowed determination of actual value of the voltage drop on the anode. For the first time the possibility of obtaining mesoporous oxide films on the surface of tin using galvanostatic mode of anodizing was demonstrated. It was found that the surface morphology of the obtained tin oxide layers is strongly dependent on the anodizing mode. Based on the data obtained, a two-stage mechanism was proposed for the growth of porous structures on the surface of tin in the galvanostatic mode including initial formation of the layer of SnO·xH2O which is subsequently oxidized to SnO2·xH2O mesoporouslayer.

The optic axis of an electron microscope objective lens is usually assumed to be straight and co-linear with the mechanical center. No reason exists to assume such perfection and, indeed, simple reasoning suggests that it is a complicated curve. A current centered objective lens with a non-linear optic axis when used in conjunction with other lenses, leads to serious image errors if the nature of the specimen is such as to produce intense inelastic scattering.
