摘要
We present microfabrication and characterization of truly three-dimensional (3-D) diffuser/nozzle structures in silicon. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), reactive ion etching (RIE), and laser-assisted etching are used to etch flow chambers and diffuser/nozzle elements. The flow behavior of the fabricated elements and the dependence of diffuser/nozzle efficiency on structure geometry has been investigated. The large freedom of 3-D micromachining combined with rapid prototyping allows to characterize and optimize diffuser/nozzle structures.
