ABSTRACT: The fabrication of various suspended microstructures made from ultrananocrystalline diamond was performed without sacrificial layer. Arrays of bridges and cantilevers of various dimensions were successfully fabricated by a well-controlled process. Mechanical characterizations and finite element calculations allowed us to estimate both the Young’s modulus as well as the residual stress built in the ultrananocrystalline diamond film.KEYWORDS: residual stress, ultrananocrystalline diamond, MEMS, suspended microstruc- turesRead full text (pdf)
