Integration of reactive polymeric nanofilms into a low-power electromechanical switch for selective chemical sensing

This paper presents the fabrication and demonstration of an ultrathin microelectromechanical chemical sensing device. Microcantilevers are etched from 100-nm-thick silicon nitride, and a 75-nm-thick reactive copolymer film for sensing is deposited by initiated chemical vapor deposition. Cross-linkin...
