The proposed hybrid packaging of biochemical transducers is based on a flip-chip bonding process, which necessitates low-cost materials, a reduced number of processing steps as well as compatibility to common roll-to-roll (R2R) processes.","PeriodicalId":382081,"journal":{"name":"2021 Smart Systems Integration (SSI)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130641997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the integration of leading edge sensor principles based on nanoparticles, often the precise arrangement of nanostructures is an essential technology. One approach that has been pursued with great success is the template based DNA origami method [1, 2]. The DNA origami can serve as an individual inter-und intramolecular programmable nano-breadboard with a binding point resolution of ~ 5 nm. Our novel, innovative approach uses the DNA origami template to integrate a biological recognition element (DNA aptamer/antibody) centrically in a nanoparticle array to enable an optical detection by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. For high sensor sensitivity despite complex probes, a sufficient signal accumulation is necessary, done by a selective surface immobilization of the biosensor platform. In this way, a high structure density could be realized without overlapping or agglomeration, which would lead to functional damage of the sensor. We introduce a topography supported thin-film system for the selective surface immobilization of the DNA origami and validate them by a parameter variation of a tablet DNA origami structure, which will be the later template of the biosensor platform.","PeriodicalId":382081,"journal":{"name":"2021 Smart Systems Integration (SSI)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117156473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the fine columnar shape of the grain, the electrical resistivity of the Al film was as high as 100–150 n/m, which is an order of magnitude higher than the bulk value. Such a high resistivity benefits to facilitate the Joule heating during the operation of the thermal actuator. Meanwhile, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the electrochemically deposited Al film was experimentally evaluated to be 20–27 ppm/K, which is consistent with the previous reports. With such a large CTE, the material has a potential to enhance the working displacement and force of a thermal actuator. The suspended structure was fabricated using a tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) SiO2 as a sacrificial layer. The tip displacement of the fabricated v-shape thermal actuator was around 10 μm at 3 V actuation voltage. The demonstration can open up a new class of MEMS thermal actuator using electroplated Al films as the structural material.","PeriodicalId":382081,"journal":{"name":"2021 Smart Systems Integration (SSI)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133813599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human-machine interaction has thus to be safe, and collaborative robotics is becoming increasingly important. The present work features the design, development and preliminary validation of a soft large area sensor for tactile and proprioceptive sensing in a collaborative robotic manipulator. Such a manipulator is shaped to resemble the human hand and within this paper we focused on the index finger. The finger architecture has a design which allows setting up a structured 3D model, with flexible parametrization and fast prototyping. An optical fiber embedding 12 Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) has been integrated in a soft polymeric matrix to mimic human sense of touch abilities of a whole finger. In order to assess the sensorized robotic manipulator, a mechatronic validation platform has been developed and employed. Preliminary results show a mechanical decoupling between exteroceptive and proprioceptive functions, and among the spatially distributed outputs of the sensor array. These results demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach towards achieving dexterous and fine capabilities in the manipulation of objects.","PeriodicalId":382081,"journal":{"name":"2021 Smart Systems Integration (SSI)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121177415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is therefore suitable for organic, inorganic or hybrid semiconductor systems. The developed integration process enables two different metallization layers to be structured into contact electrodes (drain and source) for thin film transistors on a common flexible substrate. This enables the adaptation of the work function of metals and semiconductors, and thus the performance of the individual TFTs can be optimized.
