ABSTRACTThe use of sol–gel-derived 0–3 composite ceramics for low-temperature direct-write electronics applications was investigated. The 0–3 composite paste materials were prepared using selected metal alkoxides and commercial low- and high-κ' dielectric powders. The composite pastes were deposited onto alumina and polyimide substrates using conventional screening and micro-dispensing techniques. The deposited films were oven-dried at or below 200°C and thermally densified using a CO2 laser. The 0–3 composites exhibited good adhesion and structural density. Electrical characterization of the laser-processed dielectrics revealed κ' values as high as 295 and tan δ as low as 0.02 on polyimide substrates.

Laser micromachining is a direct write microfabrication technology that has several advantages over traditional micro/nanofabrication techniques. In this paper, we present a comprehensive characterization of a QuikLaze 50ST2 multimodal laser micromachining tool by determining the ablation characteristics of six (6) different materials and demonstrating two applications. Both the thermodynamic theoretical and experimental ablation characteristics of stainless steel (SS) and aluminum are examined at 1064 nm, silicon and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) at 532 nm, and Kapton® and polyethylene terephthalate at 355 nm. We found that the experimental data aligned well with the theoretical analysis. Additionally, two applications of this multimodal laser micromachining technology are demonstrated: shadow masking down to approximately 1.5 µm feature sizes and interdigitated electrode (IDE) fabrication down to 7 µm electrode gap width.

ABSTRACTTo realize Gigabit density ferroelectric memory devices, downscaling issues involving processing, materials, and fundamental ferroelectric behavior must be resolved. To address patterning and characterizing ferroelectric films at the nanoscale, we have prepared different lateral sizes of ferroelectric PZT capacitors down to 120 nm, using direct-write electron beam lithography. Characterization of the piezoelectric activity of the patterned elements was performed by means of piezoelectric-sensitive scanning probe microscope in the contact mode. Switching of single 120 nm cells was achieved.

Aerosol flow through a long and tapered micro-capillary (MC) for direct write (DW) technology is typically used with small particles of sizes ranging from 0.2 μm to 10 μm at velocities up to 100 m/s. Earlier research showed that the particles coming through a long MC experience Saffman force that moves the particles towards the center of the beam other than the geometric convergence (due to Stokes drag); thus creating a collimated aerosol beam. It was also established that the additional Saffman force becomes more effective with certain particle diameters and velocities. Therefore, for experimental validation, it is important to accurately measure the particle size distribution and velocities coming out of the long MC. However, the current sizing methods are incapable of measuring particles less than 5 μm due to optical limitations. The current paper presents results using a micro-shadowgraphy system from LaVision Inc. to characterize the flow field. A modification of the particle-sizing algorithm is proposed to measure particles of sub-micron sizes. The modified algorithm can be used to accurately size particles of 1μm diameter.
