Abstract

The microwave drill [1] is used in this study for a localized heating of silicon plates, up to the melting point. The paper presents the experimental setup, including the heating device and the temperature measurement techniques. The experimental results show a higher rate of local temperature increase compared to other known methods. This heating method enables localized thermal processes, jointing, welding, and even drilling of >0.1-mm diameter holes in silicon for MEMS applications.
