A DNA origami (30 × 150 nm) was fixed to bridge a trenches (100 nm width, 200 nm depth) utilizing the hybridization between ssDNA on the DNA origami and selectively immobilized complementary ssDNA-pattern at the edges of the etched trench. An octadecylsilane self-assembled monolayer (ODS SAM) was utilized as a masking layer for a scanning probe lithography (SPL) with better process stability than a trimethylsilyl (TMS) SAM. This result opens a way to integrate the nanomaterial components on a structured device such as MEMS by using DNA origami.","PeriodicalId":6465,"journal":{"name":"2015 Transducers - 2015 18th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (TRANSDUCERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90374598","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}

The parylene spring was carefully designed for independent control of radial and axial stiffness, which can be realized by a high aspect ratio cross section and a meander structure. The maximum force generated by the parylene spring was about 40 mN. Two types of SMA actuator was examined for the actuation: simple wire and micro spring types. The maximum displacement as high as 300 μm was obtained by using the SMA micro spring.","PeriodicalId":6465,"journal":{"name":"2015 Transducers - 2015 18th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (TRANSDUCERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91419865","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}

The sensors are microfabricated through thermal bonding of the chip dies made of medical-grade SS to the Au-polyimide diaphragm film. The capacitive cavity design with dead-end holes is verified to increase the pressure sensitivity. Laser microwelding is applied to permanently bond the sensor chips onto SS substrates. The microwelding is revealed to provide twice the mechanical strength and ~6× electrical conductance in its bond compared with a conductive epoxy case. The microwelded sensor exhibits an average sensitivity of 120 ppm/mmHg close to its pre-welding level. The welding integration with a SS antenna stent is demonstrated. The results suggest that laser microwelding is a promising packaging technique for SS-based biomedical and implant microdevices that require long-term bond reliability.","PeriodicalId":6465,"journal":{"name":"2015 Transducers - 2015 18th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (TRANSDUCERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83422470","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}

According to the electrochemical assessments, we discover that AuRh nanocrystals have considerable response toward 1 nM carbaryl, while there is no response to organophosphorus pesticides over AuRh nanocrystals. The ultra-sensitive and highly selective detection of carbamate pesticides could be attributed to the great catalytic activity of AuRh nanocrystals toward -NH2 group in carbamate pesticides.","PeriodicalId":6465,"journal":{"name":"2015 Transducers - 2015 18th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (TRANSDUCERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88792895","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}
