Abstract

Etching of monocrystalline diamond in oxygen and water vapor at 1100 °C through small pores in a silicon nitride film produced smooth-walled rectangular cavities. The cavities were imaged by electron microscopy and measured by interferometric microscopy. The observed cavities ranged in width from approximately 1 μm up to 72 μm, in each case exhibiting smooth, vertical sidewalls, a flat bottom, and a depth equal to half its width. Cavity boundaries were determined to lie along slow-etching 100 crystallographic planes, suggesting the possibility of a powerful class of techniques for high-aspect-ratio bulk micromachining of diamond.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
