摘要
Ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) with grain sizes in the range of 2-5 run is produced using a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition process with argon-rich C-60 or CH4 plasmas. This material has excellent mechanical properties: high hardness and Young modulus, and an extremely low friction coefficient (similar to0.01). It is resistant to chemical attack, and is potentially biocompatible. These properties make UNCD a very good candidate for a diamond-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. We report on the micromachinability of this material by selective seeding, selective growth and reactive ion etching, in conjunction with SiO2 sacrificial layers for fabricating 3-D structures with freestanding or movable parts. These micromachining techniques are used to develop a totally UNCD-made turbine as a demonstration for UNCD-based MEMS.
