Filed:

Jan 2, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/038890

Inventors:

Jeffrey T. Borenstein - Holliston MA

Assignee:

The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc. - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

H01L 2176

US Classification:

438411, 438 50, 438 53, 438696, 438700, 438701, 438456, 257414, 257415, 257416, 257417

Abstract:

The invention provides a general fabrication method for producing MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) and related devices using Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI). One first obtains an SOI wafer that has (i) a handle layer, (ii) a a dielectric layer, and (iii) a device layer. A mesa etch has been made on the device layer of the SOI wafer and a structural etch has been made on the dielectric layer of the SOI wafer. One then obtains a substrate (such as glass or silicon), where a pattern has been etched onto the substrate. The SOI wafer and the substrate are bonded together. Then the handle layer of the SOI wafer is removed, followed by the dielectric layer of the SOI wafer.

International Classification:

H01L 3105
H01L 310224
H01L 3118

US Classification:

136244

Abstract:

Photovoltaic cells with silver-rich thick film electrical contacts having superior thermal aging properties are disclosed. The silver-rich contacts are formed by firing a silver ink or paste wherein substantially all of the silver in the ink or paste before firing is in the form of spherical particles. Preferably inter-cell connections to the contacts are accomplished using a tin and silver solder paste comprising between about 96% tin/4% silver and 98% tin/2% silver. Solar cells having contacts incorporating the present invention exhibit the capability of withstanding temperatures in the range of 150. degree. C. with little or no thermal degradation of contact peel strength in the region of the solder bonds.

B01L 3/00

Abstract:

A microfluidic device for increasing convective clearance of particles from a fluid is provided. A network of first channels can be separated from a network of second channels by a first membrane. The network of first channels can also be separated from a network of third channels by a second membrane. Fluid containing an analyte can be introduced in the network of first channels. Infusate can be introduced into the network of second channels, and waste-collecting fluid can be introduced into the network of third channels. A pressure gradient can be applied in a direction perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow in the network of first channels, such that the analyte is transported from the network of first channels into the network of third channels through the second membrane.
