摘要: Improved actuated probes suitable for scanning probe lithography or microscopy, and especially direct-write nanolithography and method of fabrication thereof. In one embodiment, thermomechanically actuated cantilevers with oxide-sharpened microcast tips are inexpensively fabricated by a process that comprises low-temperature wafer bonding, such as (gold) thermocompressive bonding, eutectic or adhesive bonding. Also provided is a flexcircuit that electrically interconnects the actuated probes to external circuitry and mechanically couples them to the instrument actuator. An improved scanning probe lithography instrument, hardware and software, can be built around the actuated cantilevers and the flexcircuit. Finally, provided is an improved microfluidic circuit to deliver chemical compounds to the tips of (actuated) probes and a fabrication method for tall, high-aspect-ratio tips.

摘要: A polishing machine includes a platform assembly mounted within three support columns. The platform assembly includes fluidically pressurized bladders for urging the upper polish plate toward and away from the lower polish plate. In one embodiment a movable support column is suspended from an overlying frame. The support column is engaged with the upper polish plate so as to selectively raise and lower the platform assembly. In another embodiment, the platform is raised and lowered by threaded shafts so as to engage and thereby displace the upper polish plate.
