Dear Sirs,

This webpage demonstrates the pioneer technology of quartz sensors and resonators

I decided to publish my technological achievements first in 2000 at International Simposium, but because of some reasons not depending on me was not able to do so. That is why I present my abstracts, sent to tthe Programme Commetee, without any changes after its edition in 2000. You can find the text below.

Newertheless intensive work to improve the technology continues till now and I would like to inform you about my latest achievements.

Realizing that a question might arise why I do so, I prefer to answer it immediately. In the development of the technology we are on the stage when it has examined and we have all major answers concerning the capabilities of the technology. Now we are searching for a strategic partner who could launch and to put into production (practice)the technology.

You can find below only facts, proved by the photos of the experimental samples.

General possibilities (capabilities or advantages) of the technology are the following:

1. Extremely high speed of quartz dissolutions reaching 20 and more micron per minut
2. Very high polishing effect
3. Isotropic dissolutions of quartz
4. A possibility of chemical etch using a cheap chemical mask put on DESTROED SURFASE layer though it seems increadible it is proved fact
5. Possibility of Lenses production in photolithographic process. The lens always get polished, not taking into account the condition of blank before the process
6. Ability to create sophisticated quartz devices on quartz wafer such as for instance as pressure,force accelerometer sensor and etc
7. Possibility to use this technology in construction of sophisticated mechanisms, with ( ?) the usage of any other silicates as glass, langasite
8. Technology can be easely used with the others technologies of surface treatment for example inverted mesa technology
9. Technology was used on different cuts of quartz and the best results were achieved with SC cut
10. Technology does not use poisoning materials and has a very limited even maybe no negative effect on environment.
11. Technology does not use high pressure and temperatures which puts it into the row of (safe usage) technologies.
12. Possibility, using the acumulated knowledge, to examine its usage in traditional fields such as cutting or grinding, and I assume that the results achived using this technology might be similar to those using the diamomd tools, though without lattice damage
13. As development of this technology some materials might be created as nonorganic printing boards for OSXO or sensors or it all together

By now it is very difficult to distingwish all the fields where technology might be implemented, and the ways it is used might be most unexpected, such as optical devices or glass art

This technology was developed by several scientists and the first results were so IMPRESSIVE THAT THE SCIENTISTS CONTINUED WORKING on the technology at their own expenses and enthusiasm.

Unfortunately this fact was limiting future development of technology and the samples were not finsidhed, though mathematical models of prosess and nesessary equipment were developed

On the webpage you can find almost all documentation prepared for while working with technology, even unsuccesful experiments.

We hope that you will have a possibility for a deep stydy of this site and possible future cooperation.

Sencirely yours,
Mironenko Igor
