Title:
MICRO CALORIMETER DEVICE WITH IMPROVED ACCURACY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/140719
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a micro calorimeter device with improved accuracy having a new design based on a silicon nitride thin film platform implemented with a Nano Electro Mechanical System (NEMS) processing technology. More specifically, the present invention relates to a silicon nitride thin film type micro calorimeter device for an apparatus which measures the specific heat of nano substances, and to a micro calorimeter device with improved accuracy which measures the specific heat of nano substances at temperatures between 20K to 800K. For this purpose, the present invention comprises: a first silicon nitride thin film (12a,12b) on the upper side of a silicon frame (11a,11b) having both sides polished; a second silicon nitride thin film (13) on the lower side of the silicon frame; a heater/sensor (14a, 14b) connected to a power extension cable on the lower side of the second silicon nitride thin film (13); and an isothermal layer (15) on the upper side of the second silicon nitride thin film, thereby improving the accuracy of the micro calorimeter device.
