This paper reports the design and fabrication of capacitive silicon nanomechanical resonators with the selective vibration of a high-order mode. Fixed-fixed beam capacitive silicon resonators have been successfully produced by the use of electron beam lithography, photolithography, deep reactive ion etching, and anodic bonding methods. All resonators with different vibration modes are designed to have the same resonant frequency for performance comparison. Measurement results show that higher-order mode capacitive silicon resonators can achieve lower insertion loss compared to that of lower-order mode capacitive silicon resonators. The motional resistance of the fourth mode vibration resonator is improved by 83%, 90%, and 93% over the third, second, and first mode vibration resonators, respectively.

Self-powered broadband photodetectors (SPBPDs) hold great potential for next-generation optoelectronic applications, but their performance is often limited by interface defects that impair charge transport and increase recombination losses. In this work, we report the enhancement of the photodetection efficiency of SPBPDs by partially substituting copper (Cu) with silver (Ag) in kesterite CuZnSnS (ACZTS) thin films. Varying Ag concentrations (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%) are incorporated into the CZTS layer, forming a TiO/ACZTS heterojunction in superstrate configuration fabricated via a low-cost sol-gel spin-coating technique with low-temperature open air annealing avoiding conventional postdeposition sulfurization or selenization.

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMSs) are essential for maintaining driving safety by continuously monitoring critical tire parameters, such as pressure and temperature, in real time during vehicle operation. Among these parameters, tire pressure is the most significant, necessitating the use of highly precise, cost-effective, and energy-efficient sensing technologies. With the rapid advancements in micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology, modern automotive sensing and monitoring systems increasingly rely on MEMS sensors due to their compact size, low cost, and low power consumption.

As the feature size of microelectronic circuits is scaling down to nanometer order, the increasing interconnect crosstalk, resistance-capacitance (RC) delay and power consumption can limit the chip performance and reliability. To address these challenges, new low-k dielectric (k < 2) materials need to be developed to replace current silicon dioxide (k = 3.9) or SiCOH, etc.

Hybrid supercapacitors such as Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) are one of the most modern energy storage devices of great research interest. The hybridization of the battery-type anode with the capacitive-type cathode brings out the synergic effect of enhanced energy density, power capability, long cycle life, and wide operating temperature. Herein, we introduce a simultaneous alloying-intercalation process from the recovered graphite: silicon monoxide (RG: SiO) composite as a negative electrode for the LIC applications with the activated carbon (AC) as a counter electrode.
