Nanorobotic Platform for Multi-domain Characterization and Diagnostic at Sub-micron Scale
Abstract
Although computer simulation showed significant progress in the past years to assist scientists and engineers in the development of MEMS and beyond CMOS technologies, this cannot be dissociated from experimental testing. In order to avoid impacting negatively the speed of development, versatile multi-domain instruments capable of analyzing phenomena occurring at nanoscale have become essential.
In this talk we present a miniaturized robotic platform providing capabilities for in situ characterisation of micro- and nanostructures under light or electron microscope. This multi-functional system is based on independently controlled mobile robots equipped with dedicated probes for advanced thermal, electrical and chemical analyses. The four degrees of freedom ultra compact robots move with nanometer resolution and offer great adaptability to various application fields including nanoelectronic and nanophotonic
