Abstract
Thin carbon layers such as silicon carbide (SiC) and diamond like carbon (DLC) layers on silicon, or on nanostructured silicon substrats were obtained by different methods. This paper is a review of our results in the areas of carbon layer microfabrication technologies and their properties related to different microsystem apllications. So, silicon membranes using a-SiC or DLC layers as etching mask, as well as silicon carbide membranes using a combined porous silicon — DLC structure were fabricated for sensor applications. A detailed evaluation of the field emission (FE) properties of these films was done to demonstrate their capability to be used in field emission devices. Carbon thin layers on nanostructured silicon samples were also investigated with respect to the living cell adhesion on these structures. The experiments indicate that the cell attachment on the surface of carbon coatings can be controlled by deposition parameters during the technological process.
