Kevin- Nichrome (nickel chrome, 80/20) alloy fits most of your requirements. It has high resistivity (~100 uOhm*cm), a modulus of ~200 Gpa, yield strength ~450 Mpa, and a CTE of ~15e-6/C. Deposition is usually performed via e-beam evaporation or sputtering which are relatively low temp (<600C). There are likely other choices as well. Good luck. -Jonathan Engel MASS Group, UIUC http://mass.micro.uiuc.edu >----- Forwarded Message ----- >From: General MEMS discussion>To: MEMS Talk >Subject: [mems-talk] MEMS Material !! > >Hello, >I am looking for a material for MEMS Actuators . >I need a high eough resitivity material for Joul Heating purpose and a resonable yiled strenth ( > 500 Mpa) . >It's Young's modules *Coefficient of Thermal Expansion must be great than polysilicon's.
