In this paper, synthesis of carbon and ceramic microcoils by microwave chemical vapor deposition method is presented. Carbon microcoils were synthesized over nickel catalyst using acetylene as carbon source by microwave technique. Titanium carbide microcoils were gained by direct titanization to carbon microcoils. A comparison is given between conventional thermal filament CVD and microwave CVD methods. Particular attention is given to the potential applications ofcarbon and ceramic microcoils for MEMS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
