  • Electrode for a metal-insulator-metal structure, capacitor of metal-insulator-metal type, and method for fabricating one such electrode and one such capacitor
    Patent number: 10319806
    Abstract: The electrode for a structure of Metal-Insulator-Metal type is formed by a stack successively comprising a gold layer, a barrier layer made from electrically conducting oxide and a platinum layer. The electrically conducting oxide is advantageously a noble metal oxide, and preferentially ruthenium oxide. The electrode is arranged on a substrate. The gold layer of the electrode is separated from the substrate by an adhesion layer made from titanium dioxide. The electrode is used to fabricate a capacitor of Metal-Insulator-Metal type.

  • Method and device for confinement of a liquid
    Publication number: 20060057288
    Abstract: According to the invention, in order to confine a liquid in at least one area of a substrate, a treatment is applied to the surface of the substrate, creating, on this surface, at least one area (54), the wettability of which is larger than that of the surroundings of the area, the substrate is immersed in the liquid, and then it is removed from the latter. Further, after applying the treatment to the surface, a cavity (40) intended to contain the liquid and including a single aperture (41) is formed in the area. The invention is particularly applicable to the filling of cavities of an optical micro-actuator.
