This paper describes the ohmic contact formation between a TiW film as a contact material deposied by RF magnetron sputter and polycrystalline 3C-SiC films deposied on thermally grown Si wafers. The specific contact resistance (${\rho}_c$) of the TiW contact was measured by using 4he C-TLM. The contact phase and interfacial reaction between TiW and 3C-SiC at high-temperature were also analyzed by XRD and SEM. All of the samples didn't show cracks of the TiW film and any interfacial reaction after annealing. Especially, when the sample was annealed at $800^{\circ}$ for 30min., the lowest contact resistivity of $2.90{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ of was obtained due to the improved interfacial adhesion.

This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC microresonators with $3{\times}10^{17}{\sim}1{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ in-situ N-doping concentrations. In this work, the crystallinity, carrier concentration and surface morphology of the grown thin films were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The 1.2 ${\mu}m$ thick cantilvers and the 0.4 ${\mu}m$ thick doubly-clamped beam microresonators with various lengths were implemented using in-situ doping poly 3C-SiC thin films. The characteristics of the poly 3C-SiC microresonators were evaluated using quartz and a laser vibrometer under vacuum at room temperature. The resonant frequencies of the SiC microresonators decreased with doping concentrations owing to the reduction of the Young's modulus of the poly 3C-SiC thin films. It was confirmed that the resonant frequencies of the poly 3C-SiC microresonators are controllable by adjusting the doping concentrations.

This paper describes a novel processing technique for the fabrication of polymer-derived SiCN (silicone carbonitride) microstructures for extreme microelectromechanical system (MEMS) applications. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold was formed on an SU-8 pattern using a standard UV photolithographic process. Next, the liquid precursor, polysilazane, was injected into the PDMS mold to fabricate free-standing SiCN microstructures. Finally, the solid polymer SiCN microstructure was cross-linked using hot isostatic pressure at $400^{\circ}C$ and 205 bar. The optimal pyrolysis and annealing conditions to form a ceramic microstructure capable of withstanding temperatures over $1400^{\circ}C$ were determined. Using the optimal process conditions, the fabricated SiCN ceramic microstructure possessed excellent characteristics includingshear strength (15.2 N), insulation resistance ($2.163{\times}10^{14}\;{\Omega}$, and BDV (1.2 kV, minimum). Since the fabricated ceramic SiCN microstructure has improved electrical and physical characteristics compared to bulk Si wafers, it may be applied to harsh environments and high-power MEMS applications such as heat exchangers and combustion chambers.

This paper describes the characteristics of a poly 3C-SiC micro heater which was fabricated on AlN(0.1 $\mu$m)/3C-SiC(1.0 $\mu$m) suspended membranes by surface micro-machining technology. The 3C-SiC and AlN thin films which have wide energy band gap and very low lattice mismatch were used sensors for high temperature and voltage environments. The 3C-SiC thin film was used as micro heaters and temperature sensor materials simultaneously. The implemented 3CSiC RTD(resistance of temperature detector) and the power consumption of micro heaters were measured and calculated. The TCR(thermal coefficient of the resistance) of 3C-SiC RTD is about -5200 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ within a temperature range from 25 $^{\circ}C$ to 50 $^{\circ}C$ and -1040 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ at 500 $^{\circ}C$. The micro heater generates the heat about 500 $^{\circ}C$ at 10.3 mW. Moreover, durability of 3C-SiC micro heaters in high voltages is better than Pt micro heaters. A thermal distribution measured and simulated by IR thermovision and COMSOL is uniform on the membrane surface.

In this paper, poly 3C-SiC thin films were grown on $SiO_2$/Si by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) using HMDS, $H_2$, and Ar gas at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, respectively. And then, palladium films were deposited on poly 3C-SiC by RF magnetron sputter. Thickness, uniformity, and quality of these samples were performed by SEM. Crystallinity and preferred orientationsof palladium were analyzed by XRD. And Pd/poly 3C-SiC schottky diodes were fabricated and characterized by current-voltage measurements. Its electric current density Js and barrier height voltage were measured as $2\times10^{-3}$ A/$cm^2$, 0.58 eV, respectively. And these devices operated about $350^{\circ}C$. From results, Pd/poly 3C-SiC devices are promising for high temperature hydrogen sensor and applications.

This paper describes the fabrication of SiCN microstructures for super-high temperature MEMS using photopolymerization of pre-ceramic polymer. In this work. polysilazane liquide as a precursor was deposited on Si wafers by spin coating. microstructured and solidificated by UV lithography. and removed from the substrate. The resulting solid polymer microstructures were cross-linked under HIP process and pyrolyzed to form a ceramic of withstanding over $1400^{\circ}C$. Finally, the fabricated SiCN microstructures were annealed at $1400^{\circ}C$ in a nitrogen atmosphere. Mechanical characteristics of the SiCN microstructure with different fabrication process conditions were evaluated. The elastic modules. hardness and tensile strength of the SiC microstructure implemented under optimum process conditions are 94.5 GPa, 10.5 GPa and 11.7 N/min, respectively. Consequently, the SiCN microstructure proposed in this work is very suitable for super-high temperature MEMS application due to very simple fabrication process and the potential possiblity of sophisticated multlayer or 3D microstructures as well as its good mechanical properties.

For application of cast-forging process with Al-Si alloys, casting experiments are carried out by adding Sr and TiB to Al-Si alloys for grain refinement treatment. We experimented on the mechanical properties according to microstructural changes, forging ability test and also investigated the mechanical properties after forging. The finest microstructure could be observed respectively when 0.05 wt.%Sr and 0.1 wt.%TiB were added. In this case, tensile strength and elongation increased much more than as casting. After high temperature deformation simulation test with grain refinement specimens was carried out, about 60N per unit $area(mm^2)$ of specimen was confirmed. After hot forging, tensile strength and elongation were increased. It was considered that casting defect was removed by compressive working.
