Silicon carbide (SiC) has been used as a material for semi-conductor, molds, and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) because of its superior thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties. However, micro machining of SiC is verychallenging due to its hardness and brittleness. This paper presents an experimental study of micro hole drilling of SiC. In this study, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) was used as a tool to overcome the hardness of SiC. The micro PCD tool with a diameter of 110 μm was fabricated by micro electrical discharge machining (EDM). Micro drilling was conducted with varying machining parameters such as tool rotational speed and feed rate. Effects of surface roughness of the tool and lubrication method were also investigated.
