Abstract:
Scanning proximity probes are uniquely powerful tools for analysis, manipulation and bottom-up synthesis. A massively parallel cantilever-probe platform is demonstrated. Up to 256 self-sensing and self actuated proximal probes are discussed. Readout based on piezoresistive sensors and bending control based on bimorph DC/AC-actuations are described in detail.
