Use of nano-dimensional hydrophobic coatings for obtaining electrets based on silicon dioxide

Article preview

The article considers the physical-technological foundations of formation of the silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) based electret for use in devices of MEMS technology. Studies have shown that the best electret properties are in SiO 2 obtained in «wet» oxygen medium as compared to samples obtained by other oxidation methods. This is probably due to the large number of Si-OH groups on the surface of the oxide in the «wet» SiO 2 , which increases the effectiveness of the hydrophobic coatings during the modification of the SiO 2 surface. It has been found that other methods of obtaining oxide, for example, electrochemical or plasmachemical, do not make it possible to obtain SiO 2 with good electret properties. The decrease of the charge injected into an electret can occur due to the presence of volume or surface conductivity, as well as the screening of this charge by opposite charges from the medium, leading to significant decrease of electret surface potential at high ambient humidity. To increase the stability of the electret effect, it is necessary to perform water-repellency treatment of SiO 2 surface by applying thin (nanosized) water-repellent coatings. Experimental results on the stability of the electret surface potential are presented for usage of various water repellents. The most promising water repellents are high-temperature photoresist FPT-1-40 and polyimide nanolayer compositions – Langmuir-Blodgett films.

Analysis of charge space distribution influence on electric adhesion forces

Article preview

Modeling ideas of physical and chemical processes when using an anodic bonding for materials connection are developed. The kinetics of a charge accumulation in an electrode region in a dielectric is considered. The thickness of a charge layer, electric fields strength and value of the ponderomotive pressure providing connection of materials are calculated. It is shown that the necessary ponderomotive pressure resulting in a dielectric-to-conductor seal is normally about ten megapascal and the time required is about ten minutes. The appearance of great pulling electric fields at anodic bonding process with a conductor surface to dielectric turns out to be possible due to the interlayer polarization developing in dielectric under the action of electric voltage. This results in a negative charge accumulation in a layer of small thickness beside anode. Thus applied electric voltage is distributed not through the whole thickness of a dielectric, but in fact is applied to a narrow area of the three-dimensional charge be-side anode. Arising strong electric fields force the connected materials to unite. The physical and mathematical models for force characteristics of non-uniform electric field are developed. Dependences of parameters of anodic bonding junction on time are considered. The expressions allowing to choose well-founded time of formation of anodic bonding junction are obtained, intensity of electrostatic fields and forces in dynamics is calculated. Research of a charge intermittence influence on electrostatic field strength has shown a considerable differences on small distances to the charged surface between carried out and traditional ways of calculation.

Diagnostics of potentially dangerous defects in dielectric materials

Article preview

The paper presents a number of experimental techniques for detecting in amorphous tantalum oxide films structural defects, which accelerate film destruction processes in a strong electric field and thus are potentially dangerous under prolonged thermoelectric stresses applied to capacitor structures.  It is shown that the anomalous frequency dependence of dielectric losses and increase of the leakage current over time can identify potentially unreliable capacitors.

Use of power action of electric field for temporary and permanent connection of materials

Article preview

Physical processes that lead to the emergence of large forces of attraction between bodies, joined by anodic bonding technology result from the large electric fields strengths at the contact interface. Nondestructive method of monitoring the strength of obtained conductor-to ionic dielectric anodic bonding seals is based on the relationship between the dependence of current versus time flowing in the formation of seals and the strength of  the  resulting seals. Theoretically justified a new technological method for nondestructive testing of  high-quality anodic bonding seals. The results obtained are confirmed experimentally.

Electric methods for identification of diamonds and jewelry stones

Article preview

A comprehensive analysis of modern methods used for diamond identification has been carried out. It is shown that high thermal conductivity cannot unambiguously testify to the authenticity of a diamond, since synthetic imitations of silicon carbide have recently appeared. It is shown that electrical methods of gemstone diagnostics are promising but not yet sufficiently developed. A set of innovative electrocalcium methods for diamond identification is proposed. Techniques for measuring high resistivity, dielectric permittivity and surface potentials, which can be used in the procedure of diamond identification, are developed. An operational model has been tested in the study of new and traditional dielectric materials. The possibility of detecting differences in electrical and physical properties of externally identical materials using this method is shown.

Methodological specifics of calculation of electret transducers

Article preview

Methodological problems of electret transducer calculation are discussed. It is shown that the electret transducer insert is too complicated object for modeling. Therefore, it is necessary to make some simplifying assumptions in the model. For example, the transducer membrane is assumed to have a dome-shape. Since the amplitude of membrane oscillations is small, the object under consideration is studied in the linear approximation. A method of calculating the sensitivity of the electret microphone depending on the frequency of oscillation, transducer geometry, voltage and charge of the electret, etc. is proposed. The deflection of the membrane under the action of electrostatic forces is taken into account. It is shown that this procedure leads to a relatively simple analytically feasible solution. Application of the procedure allows to develop nondestructive testing methods for electret microphones, to optimize the design of electret microphones, to use the design of electret transducer in the educational process, etc.
