The 1st International Conference on Micromachines and Applications

Online | 15–30 April 2021

Volume Editor:
Ion Stiharu, Concordia University, Canada

Cover Story: The first international conference on Micromachines and Applications is held under these unusual circumstances was enabled by the great MDPI editorial team of Micromachines The scope of this conference covers a large field of microsystems and, hence, micromachines from the applications perspective. This conference proposed nine different fields of interest under which we received and finally accepted 74 papers.

Effects of Electrical Stress in Solution-Processed Spin-On Glass Dielectric Films: Frequency Dependence

  • Ovier Obregon,
  • Salvador Alcantara,
  • Susana Soto and
  • Miguel A. Dominguez

In this work, the effects of the frequency dependence of transparent dielectric based on Spin-on Glass (SOG) under electrical stress is presented. The SOG thin films were cured at 200 °C in ambient air. The capacitance-voltage and capacitance-frequen...
