NEMS Devices for Accelerometers Compatible with Thin SOI Technology

Abstract

The paper presents thin SOI NEMS structures for accelerometers based on thin SOI technology and compatible with "in-IC" integration. Modeling of Casimir force, design of accelerometers, improvement of hybrid e-beam/DUV lithography and FH-vapor release, development of specific AFM characterizations have allowed to fabricate NEMS devices and to provide AFM characterizations.
