Plastic Deformation of Micromachined Silicon Diaphragms with a Sealed Cavity at High Temperatures

Single crystal silicon (SCS) diaphragms are widely used as pressure sensitive elements in micromachined pressure sensors. However, for harsh environments applications, pure silicon diaphragms are hardly used because of the deterioration of SCS in both electrical and mechanical properties. To survive...
