The development of micro- to ultrananocrystalline diamond to diamond-like thin films and integration with dissimilar materials forms the basis for a new generation of novel micro- to nanodevices. To enable these technologies, it is necessary to understand the nanoscale structure-property relationships of these thin films and their novel hybrid combinations. The range of films described above exhibits unique mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, electrochemical, and bio-related properties that depend on their micro- and nanoscale structure and bonding. This symposium will focus on the science and technology of diamond and diamond-like thin films and their integration with other inorganic and organic materials. Applications include micro- and nanodevices (MEMS/NEMS) and biocompatible devices and sensors.
