Abstract In order to obtain ultra-smooth surfaces of single-crystal silicon in ultra-precision machining, an accurate study of the deformation mechanism, mechanical properties, and the effect of oxide film under load is required. The mechanical properties of single-crystal silicon and the phase transition after nanoindentation experiments are investigated by nanoindentation and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. It is found that pop-in events appear in the theoretical elastic domain of single-crystal silicon due to the presence of oxide films, which directly leads the single crystal silicon from the elastic deformation zone into the plastic deformation zone. In addition, the mechanical properties of single-crystal silicon are more accurately measured after it has entered the full plastic deformation.

AbstractSilicon in single crystal form has been the material of choice for the first demonstration of the MIT microengine project. However, because it has a relatively low melting temperature, silicon is not an ideal material for the intended operational environment of high temperature and stress. In addition, preliminary work indicates that single crystal silicon has a tendency to undergo localized deformation by slip band formation. Thus it is critical to obtain a better understanding of the mechanical behavior of this material at elevated temperatures in order to properly exploit its capabilities as a structural material. Creep tests in simple compression with n-type single crystal silicon, with low initial dislocation density, were conducted over a temperature range of 900 K to 1200 K and a stress range of 10 MPa to 120 MPa. The compression specimens were machined such that the multi-slip <100> or <111> orientations were coincident with the compression axis. The creep tests reveal that response can be delineated into two broad regimes: (a) in the first regime rapid dislocation multiplication is responsible for accelerating creep rates, and (b) in the second regime an increasing resistance to dislocation motion is responsible for the decelerating creep rates, as is typically observed for creep in metals. An isotropic elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model that accounts for these two mechanisms has been developed in support of the design of the high temperature turbine structure of the MIT microengine.
