Extract

The designer of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) can increase MEMS performance either by improved mechanical design or by the selection of a MEMS material with improved mechanical performance. In the quest to identify highperformance MEMS materials, diamond and amorphous carbon have recently emerged as a promising class of materials.
