In order to reduce the ignition energy of the tantalum nitride film transducer, a new type of energy exchangers bridge area was designed in this paper, and it was fabricated by MEMS technology. The parameters of ignition voltage, ignition energy, as well as action time were tested. The experimental results showed that in terms of ignition voltage, ignition energy, and action time, the value of the energy exchangers element of the new bridge area was lower than the value of the energy exchangers element of the conventional bridge area. In addition, ignition performance can be reduced by many energy exchangers in the new bridge area.

Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) have recently seen their field of application extended to military. This is mainly due to the fact that MEMS technologies present a great to reduce the mass, cost, power consumption, while improving the reliability, performance and smartness. Application of MEMS technology, the micropyrotechnic igniter are produced.The principle is based on the integration of lead styphnate (LTNR) material within a micropyrotechnic igniter, which is produced by MEMS with 3 by 3 micro-igniter. Each igniter contains three parts (the igniter chip, silicon chamber, lead styphnate). One import point is the optimization of the igniter process obtaining Ni-Cr bridges with about 13Ω, which is triggered by electrical power delivered to LTNR. The resistance of Ni-Cr bridges is used to sense the temperature on the LTNR which is in contact. The other one point is the optimization of silicon chamber process obtaining incorporate configuration of micropyrotechnic igniter. The ignition performance of micropyrotechnic igniter array are tested with ignition voltage less than 13V. The experimental results will deeply contribute to the micropyrotechnic system. This paper will discuss all these point.

The concept of using Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for in-situ corrosion sensing and for long-term applications has been proposed and is currently under development by our research lab. This is a new type of sensing using MEMS technology and, to the knowledge of our team, has not been explored previously. The MEMS corrosion sensor is based on the oxidation of metal nano/micro-particle embedded in elastomeric polymer to form a composite sensing element. The polymer controls the diffusion into and out of the sensor while the corrosion of the metal particles inhibits electrical conduction which is used as the detection signal. The work presented here is based on part of the methods developed for the removal of native and process-induced metal oxides. A major aspect is the study of the swelling dynamics of the polymer matrix (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) intended for enhancing material transport of etchants into and reaction products out of the composite during oxide removal. More specifically, the characterization of the swelling of copper particles-PDMS composite samples in liquid solvent baths is presented.

This paper proposes a novel elastomer-based tunable liquid-filled microlens by using an Electro-Conjugate Fluid (ECF) jet and MEMS technology. The common approach for tuning an elastomer-based microlens is to change the geometry of the boundary determined by the control pressure of the chamber by using an external pump. However, this paper proposes placing the ECF micropump inside the tunable microlens. The ECF is a dielectric fluid that works as a smart fluid, generating a powerful jet flow (ECF jet) when subjected to a high DC voltage. Since the ECF jet is generated only with a pair of tiny electrodes, the pumping mechanism can be easily inside the device. We fabricated the large model prototype of an ECF focus-tunable microlens by partially utilizing MEMS technology. The experimental results showed us the feasibility of the ECF microlens.

AbstractA novel tantalum precursor, bis(ethylcyclopentadienyl)hydridocarbonyltantalum (Ta(EtCp)2(CO)H EtCp:ethylcyclopentadienyl), for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) was synthesized. The molecular structure of this precursor was determined by 1H and 13C NMR, IR, ICP-AES and elemental analysis. This precursor is liquid at room temperature, and its vapor pressure and decomposition temperature indicates that this precursor is suitable for CVD and ALD process.The composition analysis of metal tantalum films deposited by thermal CVD revealed that the concentration of carbon was larger than tantalum. On the other hand, an argon plasma CVD technique reduced the carbon concentration drastically.

This paper illuminates a new type of precision cropping process method with rotary striking action. The new process makes use of a controllable circumferential strike on a metal bar with a V-shaped notch. The working principle of the machine is described. Different types of metal bars have been tested, and both bad results and successful results were stated in the paper. The most ideal control mode has been obtained. The experimental results show that the new cropping process can crop bars with different materials and diameters. In some cases, it can be directly used in the subsequent industrial production.

In this study we combined nanoscratch testing with a multilayer sapphire and aluminum nitride single-substrate system to determine the effects of interface composition and structure on susceptibility to fracture of hard, thin tantalum nitride films. Nanoindentation tests showed that the elastic moduli of the tantalum nitride and aluminum nitride films, as well as the sapphire substrate, were essentially equal at 400 GPa. On both portions of the substrate, these tests also showed that near surface hardness was near 35 GPa. Nanoscratch tests triggered long blisters and circular spalls on both the sapphire and aluminum nitride portions of the substrate. The blisters showed that the tantalum nitride film was subjected to a compressive residual stress of −6.7 GPa. The spalls showed that failure occurred along the tantalum nitride film-substrate interface regardless of substrate composition. Most importantly, the blisters and spalls showed that the mode I componentof the fracture energies was essentially equal on both substrate materials at a value near 3.1 J/m2. These energies are on the order of the energies for metallic bonding.

This paper presents an analysis of the failure modes during power transmission of a new type of one-way clutch called an expansible-band clutch. The new clutch is made from thermoplastic materials and an experimental test rig has been used to test two material combinations to failure. The experimental results are compared with predictions obtained from empirical formulae. The differences in the two sets of results are used to make conclusions about the failure processes.
