Calibrating the AFM with Self-Calibratable MEMS: A Theoretical Study

Li F., Clark J.V., Purdue University, US

To perform reliable scientific measurements with the atomic force microscope (AFM), it is important to calibrate the AFM cantilever. Conventional calibration methods have a 10 to 15% uncertainty, and the accuracies of such methods are [...]

Design and Characterization of a Fully Differential Mems Accelerometer Fabricated Using METALMUMPS Technology

Qu P., Oakland University, US

As an exploratory study, this paper presents a fully differential single-axis accelerometer fabricated using MetalMUMPS process. The unique common-centriod wiring of the metal electrodes enables a fully differential sensing scheme with robust metal sensing structures. [...]

Low-cost Thin-film Transistor-based Microcantilever for Measuring Deflection

Lin P-Y, Cheng Y-J, Kuan S., Huang L-S., National Tainwan University, TW

Here, we firstly report the low-cost poly-Si TFT embedded in the high-stress region of the microcantilever (MCL) as a sensing transducer to convert local strain into an electrical signal.In this work, the verification of reproducible [...]

Weak Magnetic Fields Sensing Using Soft Ferrite Nanoparticles and MEMS

Lyshevski S.E., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

We perform the feasibility analysis of sensing weak magnetic fields by using soft ferrite nanoparticles embedded in molecular complexes. The sensing mechanisms are based on the deflection of molecular complexes and induced strain due to [...]
