Abstract :
A topical problem in manufacturing MEMS devices and various membrane-based sensors is the production of high-quality membranes. Dielectric and polysilicon films are used M. M Farooqui et al. (1991) for membranes. Dielectric membranes consisting of SiO/sub 2/, Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/ materials have also found wide application. The SiO/sub 2/, Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/ materials have high electrical resistivity and low thermal conduction, which makes them materials of choice for thermal membrane sensors where minimal losses of thermal energy are required.
