On basic functional elements (beams, membranes) PZT-layers of 10 to 50 /spl mu/m thickness were deposited, and their relative dielectric constant determined between 20 and 550. For the first time the piezoelectric constant of the jet printed PZT-layer was calculated to 20...30/spl middot/10/sup -12/ C/N from laser measurements of beam deflection, and therefore piezoelectric actuation capability could be proved directly.","PeriodicalId":131719,"journal":{"name":"1997 International Symposium on Micromechanics and Human Science (Cat.

The diaphragm type force sensor of 2 mm/spl times/2 mm/spl times/216 /spl mu/m for the conduit with an outer diameter 320 /spl mu/m, an inner diameter 150 /spl mu/m and the wire with a diameter 100 /spl mu/m is fabricated. Photolithography, wet and dry oxidation, B-diffusion, through hole etching by TMAH techniques are used. The relation between loaded force and output voltage is measured to be linear with a sensitivity of 10.2 mV/gf under a constant supplied voltage. A micro master-slave system driven by conduit guided wire is expected to be applied to delicate surgical operations, assembling precise and small parts, etc. This system consists of a micro sized slave robot and a master manipulator of which the size is adapted to a human finger. Displacement and torque of the master side are reduced and transferred to the slave robot by controlling the brake torque against the master torque by feeding back tension signals of the force sensor in the slave robot. The master can feel the tensions by the brake torque, though conduit guided wire has a nonlinear input-output characteristics due to friction force.","PeriodicalId":131719,"journal":{"name":"1997 International Symposium on Micromechanics and Human Science (Cat.

So mechanical properties of polysilicon are very important for microstructure design. In this paper we propose a simple method using spinner to measure the tensile property of a polysilicon microbeam fabricated by a routine surface process. The specimen is a cantilever with a paddle on which nickel is electroplated to form a seismic mass. When the specimen is placed along the radial vector, the centrifugal force caused by the seismic mass will pull the cantilever to fracture. This method enables a simple specimen preparation and measurement process.","PeriodicalId":131719,"journal":{"name":"1997 International Symposium on Micromechanics and Human Science (Cat.

The radiation pressure traps particles suspended in water and forms agglomeration every half wavelength in an ultrasonic standing wave field. This paper describes a method to transport the particles two-dimensionally using a line-focused transducer with multiple electrodes. The transducer was fixed upward in water and a ceramic plate reflector was set at the focal line. When an alumina suspension was poured with a pipette into the sound field, the particles were trapped and agglomerated near the reflector. Changing the frequency alters the wavelength and hence the interval of agglomeration. Therefore the trapped particles were transported along the sound beam axis. When the next electrodes were driven, the standing wave field shifted laterally and the trapped particles moved to the corresponding nodal points. Thus two dimensional transportation was realized by using the line-focused transducer.","PeriodicalId":131719,"journal":{"name":"1997 International Symposium on Micromechanics and Human Science (Cat.
