In the present study, the scanning force microscope (SFM) was employed to measure the heavy ion track diameters in mica and was operated in the lateral-force mode with different loading forces. The mica samples were irradiated with Se, Au, Pb and Zn ions with a kinetic energy of Wang Yu-gang et a l .Vol. 6
We developed a membrane structure with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer by using a micromachining technique to create a transition edge x-ray sensor. In this membrane structure, the part of the SOI layer between the silicon nitride (SiNx) film and the buried oxide layer was etched from the front side to form the SiNx membrane. Advantages of this membrane are that (a) it is stronger than conventional membranes and is therefore suitable for large format arrays, (b) the Si etching time is reduced from 12 h (for conventional etching) to 4 h, and (c) all the fabrication processes are done from the front of the wafer, thus simplifying the manufacturing process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
