Paper Abstract
A TiNi/diamond-like-carbon (DLC) microcage for biological application has been designed, fabricated and
characterized. A compressively stressed DLC film with TiNi pattern on top lifts the fingers upwards once they are
released from the substrate, and the microcage can be closed through shape memory effect of top TiNi film with
temperature below 80°C. Further heating above 100°C, the gradual opening of the microcage can be obtained due to
thermal bimorph effect. The biocompatibility of both the TiNi and DLC films has been proved using a cell-culture
method.
