ON-CHIP IGNITER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

A chip for igniting nanoenergetic materials (14), includes a substrate (16), an igniter (12) positioned on the substrate (16) and the nanoenergetic material (14) arranged in a linear pattern positioned on said substrate. A method of making a chip for igniting nanoenergetic materials (14) includes providing a substrate (16), forming an igniter (12) on the substrate and coating the substrate (16) with a polymer layer. A pattern of nanoenergetic material comprising a fuel (42) and an oxidizer (44) is formed on the substrate (16). The nanoenergetic material (14) is ignited (12) by the igniter by supplying power to the leads (72) attached to the heater film.
