Pages : 9
Book Description
The project investigates the formation of micro-scale structures using capillary force-driven self-assembly. Two main activities were undertaken during the course of the project: determination of the proper self-assembly environment and scaling of the metal contacts, and development of microfabrication processes that can generate micron-scale single crystal silicon parts that can participate in a self-assembly process. The effect of the alloy composition, chemical composition of the self-assembly environment, and contact metallization were extensively studied and an optimum condition for scaling the metal contacts was determined. Microfabrication processes on SOI wafers were developed to form parts that can participate in 2D and 3D self-assembly processes.

Self Assembly of Microstructures
Author: Paul Emmanuel Kladitis
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781423566663
Category : Actuators
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Four areas are investigated in this research: erecting microstructures normal to the substrate plane without direct human intervention (self assembled), providing low resistance electrical connections to the erected microstructure, realizing circular motion normal to the substrate plane, and implementing a micro-robot. The designs in this research concentrate on erecting and providing power to a leg designed for use with the micro-robot. The leg and the attached low resistance electrical connectors were not self assembled because the accompanying actuators were not powerful enough. However, the novel connectors provide the most practical, versatile, and lowest possible resistance connections for the MUMPs fabrication process. The micro-robot was a 1 cm by 1 cm by 0.125 mm thick silicon chip with 96 legs micro-machined on one side. The legs were able to support the weight of the chip but could not move the chip. The gold wires used to remotely power the legs, restricted the chip's movement. The chip was turned over, and used as a micro-position to transport a 1 cm by 1 cm by 0.023 mm piece of kapton film A vertically deflecting actuator was used to bump the edge of a 222 mm diameter wheel, causing circular motion normal to the substrate.

Mechanical Self-Assembly
Author: Xi Chen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461445620
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Mechanical Self-Assembly: Science and Applications introduces a novel category of self-assembly driven by mechanical forces. This book discusses self-assembly in various types of small material structures including thin films, surfaces, and micro- and nano-wires, as well as the practice's potential application in micro and nanoelectronics, MEMS/NEMS, and biomedical engineering. The mechanical self-assembly process is inherently quick, simple, and cost-effective, as well as accessible to a large number of materials, such as curved surfaces for forming three-dimensional small structures. Mechanical self-assembly is complementary to, and sometimes offer advantages over, the traditional micro- and nano-fabrication.

Surface Tension in Microsystems
Author: Pierre Lambert
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642375529
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
This book describes how surface tension effects can be used by engineers to provide mechanical functions in miniaturized products (1 mm). Even if precursors of this field such as Jurin or Laplace already date back to the 18th century, describing surface tension effects from a mechanical perspective is very recent.brThe originality of this book is to consider the effects of capillary bridges on solids, including forces and torques exerted both statically and dynamically by the liquid along the 6 degrees-of-freedom.brIt provides a comprehensive approach to various applications, such as capillary adhesion (axial force), centering force in packaging and micro-assembly (lateral force) and recent developments such as a capillary motor (torque).
