16×2 Thermally Actuating and Sensing Probe Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper developed an active scanning probe array. The probe array consists of 16×2 probes thermally actuating and sensing. The 32 probes are integrated with Ti/Pt temperature sensors and bimorph thermal actuators. Each probe is a Si3N4 cantilever equipped with a sharp nano scale pyramid tip at its free end. When one of the probes is actuated, its neighboring probes can provide temperature sensing feedback. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of the embedded Ti/Pt sensor of each probe is 2100 ppm °C , and the micro thermal actuator shows good reliability after 500 cycles over specification continuous actuating test.

متن کاملAn amine/imine functionalized microporous MOF as a new fluorescent probe exhibiting selective sensing of Fe3+ and Al3+ over mixed metal ions
Nowadays metal-organic frameworks with multiple luminescent centers are very fascinating as multifunctional luminescent material because of their luminescence properties, which could be systematically tuned by deliberate use of organic ligands and metal ions. In this research, we explored a microporous mixed-ligand MOF for highly selective and sensitive detection of metal ions. A two-fold inter...
متن کاملA Formation Flight Experiment for Research in Control of Interconnected Systems
This article discusses the design process for a formation flight experiment constructed at Cornell University. The primary motivation for the testbed is to explore control design and analysis for interconnected systems. These systems are comprised of many similar units that interact directly with their nearest neighbors, and that have sensing and actuating capabilities at every unit. The result...
متن کاملA Unique Self-Sensing, Self-Actuating AFM Probe at Higher Eigenmodes
With its unique structure, the Akiyama probe is a type of tuning fork atomic force microscope probe. The long, soft cantilever makes it possible to measure soft samples in tapping mode. In this article, some characteristics of the probe at its second eigenmode are revealed by use of finite element analysis (FEA) and experiments in a standard atmosphere. Although the signal-to-noise ratio in thi...
متن کاملParallel dip-pen nanolithography with arrays of individually addressable cantilevers
In dip-pen nanolithography ~DPN!, nanoscale chemical patterns are created by directly transferring chemical molecules from the tip of an atomic force microscope probe to a surface. We report the development of a thermally actuated probe array for DPN applications. The array consists of ten thermal bimorph actuated probes, each 300 mm long, with a lateral spacing of 100 mm. The probes are actuat...
