Abstract: In this paper the multifariousness of SiC/Si heterostructures for device and sensor applications will be demonstrated. 3C-SiC based microelectromechanical resonator beams (MEMS) with different geometries actuated by the magnetomotive effect operating under ambient conditions were fabricated. The resonant frequency reaches values up to 2 MHz. The applications of these resonators are the measurement of the viscosity of liquids or mass detection. Furthermore, photonic devices in the form of SiC/Si infrared gratings for wavelength and polarization filters in infrared spectra are processed. SiC wear protection for a dosing system with the possibility to dose nano- or picoliter droplets of water based liquids as well as SiC nanomasking for catalytic agent nanostructures are demonstrated.
