Abstract
Doped silicon carbide structures, as well as methods associated with the same, are provided. The structures, for example, are components (e.g., layer, patterned structure) in MEMS structures. The doped silicon carbide structures may be highly conductive, thus, providing low resistance to electrical current. An in-situ doping process may be used to form the structures. The process parameters can be selected so that the structures have a low residual stress and/or low strain gradient. Thus, the structures may be formed having desired dimensions with little (or no) distortion arising from residual stress and/or strain gradient. The high conductivity and mechanical integrity of the structures are significant advantages in MEMS devices such as sensors and actuators.
