Parallel-kinematics Mems Stages for High Precision Nanopositioning and Manipulation

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based micro-positioning stages are critically important in many micro/nano manipulation and manufacturing applications. Such stages have been extensively used in micro-force sensors, scanning probe microscopy and micro optical lens scanners [1-4]. While there is no unique definition for a micro-positioning stage, it generally refers to a system which can automatically move an end effector with certain degrees of freedom (DOF) in its work zone and maintain submicron positioning resolution. For a micropositioning stage, it is desirable to have a large work zone, high resolution, and high bandwidth simultaneously.

Study of Laminated Composite MEMS and NEMS Performance in Nano Metric Operations
Precision of nano-metric operations is an important issue in nano-engineering studies. Several operative parameters might affect the quality of results. The parameters of the nano world are significant but not entirely controllable. However, the geometrical and mechanical properties of micro cantilevers are completely controllable. So, controlling the sensitivity of resulting image through t la...

This paper reports on a visual servoing system capable of 2DOF nanopositioning using a novel multi-axis electrostatic MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical System) device. The high aspect ratio micromanipulator was fabricated using a high yield process with Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) on Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) wafers, which produces larger electrostatic forces and requires lower actuation volta...

In this work, we demonstrate all-electronically tunable terahertz quantum cascade lasers (THz QCLs) with MEMS tuner structures. A two-stage MEMS tuner device is fabricated by a commercial open-foundry process performed by the company MEMSCAP. This provides an inexpensive, rapid, and reliable approach for MEMS tuner fabrication for THz QCLs with a high-precision alignment scheme. In order to ele...
