Silicon nanomembranes are suspended single-crystal sheets of silicon, tens of nanometers thick, with areas in the thousands of square micrometers. Challenges in fabrication arise from buckling due to strains of over 10−3 in the silicon-on-insulator starting material. In equilibrium, the distortion … [Appl. Phys.
