Surface roughness seriously affects the electromagnetic performance of capacitive radio
frequency (RF) micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switches. This review presents the …

Taking inspiration from many published review articles in respect of polyimide–nickel
nanocomposites (PINiNCs), this article is written to highlight the significant effect of …

The shape memory thin films are most suitable candidates as actuators in MEMS
applications than other smart materials due to its ability to produce larger recovery strains at …

This research addresses the fatigue behavior of freestanding nickel-molybdenum-tungsten
(Ni-Mo-W) thin films with high-density planar faults. As-deposited Ni-Mo-W thin film …

This study presents a facile Ni–Ti alloyed film grown on the n+-type Si through a DC
sputtering technique for electrochemical pH sensing and its comprehensive structural …

We report the ion beam based single step synthesis process of surface-patterned
amorphous Silicon (a-Si) with a buried plasmon active nickel silicide layer for the realization …

Pure nickel (Ni) thin films of thicknesses of 100 nm were deposited on glass substrates by
radio frequency magnetron sputtering at a power of 100 W and at various substrate …

Nickel oxide thin films with different thicknesses were synthesized by atomic layer
deposition. After a thermal reduction process, under a controlled atmosphere of hydrogen, it …

Nickel films of 40 nm thickness were obtained by means of magnetron sputtering on a single-
crystalline silicon substrate. The films were subjected to rapid thermal treatment (RTT) for 7 s …

This work reports on the fabrication of microbump structures on nickel (Ni) films by single-
pulse, localized laser irradiation. Conditions for the reproducible formation of such …
