Stable patterned electrets for microsystem applications
14 October, 2010
Imec and the Holst Centre have developed stable patterned electrets with feature sizes at least down to 20 µm. The technology consists of creating a charged profile in an SiO2/Si3N4 structure by exploiting the difference in energy between the charge traps in either layer and at their interface. Patterned electret layers can be used for a plurality of technical applications such as micromotors, sensors, actuators and energy scavengers.
