Increased surface flashover voltage in microfabricated devices
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 15:03 authored by R C Sterling, M D Hughes, C J Mellor, Winfried HensingerWinfried HensingerWith the demand for improved performance in microfabricated devices, the necessity to apply greater electric fields and voltages becomes evident. When operating in vacuum, the voltage is typically limited by surface flashover forming along the surface of a dielectric. By modifying the fabrication process, we have discovered it is possible to more than double the flashover voltage. Our finding has significant impact on the realization of next-generation micro- and nano-fabricated devices and for the fabrication of on-chip ion trap arrays for the realization of scalable ion quantum technology.
