| SAM-Ceramic Bilayer Protective Coatings for Microelectromechanical System (MEMS)This project is a collaboration between our group and Professor J. Cho's group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, SUNY Binghamton. Professor Sammakia (Mechanical Engineering) and Professor Jones (Chemistry) at SUNY Binghamton are also involved in the project. We grow self-assembled monolayers on silicon wafers. We are trying to grow a top ceramic layer on top of the SAM by low-temperature sol-gel methods. Such bilayer combinations are useful for protecting surfaces such as MEMS mirror arrays. Studies began in the Fall of 2002.
