Through these studies a correlation has been found between degree of curing and cell viability, attachment, as well as on PCR outcome.","PeriodicalId":92162,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 26th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2013) : Taipei, Taiwan, 20-24 January 2013.

Multiple Pt electrodes lined the interior and exterior of the sheath. Electrochemical characterization of the electrodes confirmed impedance values (50-250 KΩ at 1 kHz) suitable for neural recordings. A novel insertion approach was developed that temporarily stiffens the neural probes for surgical implantation and optimized in agarose brain tissue model. Sheath probes implanted into rat cortex recorded neural signals for four weeks. To achieve long-term, reliable recordings, the sheath structures will be coated with eluting neurotrophic factors to promote and attract neural ingrowth towards electrode sites.","PeriodicalId":92162,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 26th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2013) : Taipei, Taiwan, 20-24 January 2013.

By measuring and modeling the interesting coupling effects between mechanical strain and electrical transport in highly piezoresistive (PZR) thin SiNWs at room temperature, we demonstrate that, in both doubly-clamped SiNWs and mechanically `cross' coupled cantilever-SiNW structures, contact-mode and tunneling switching with multiple repeatable cycles can be also simultaneously monitored and read out in the SiNW PZR transducers naturally embedded in the devices. Given the strong piezoresistive effects in thin SiNWs, this type of devices offer a new approach for monitoring contact-mode operations, and may prove valuable when the nanoscale contacts are not highly conductive, or degrading over time.","PeriodicalId":92162,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 26th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2013) : Taipei, Taiwan, 20-24 January 2013.

The relay sidewalls are coated with a 30 nm-thick conductive layer of titanium nitride (TiN) deposited using atomic layer deposition (ALD). By hollowing the tip of the relay, a flexible sidewall is formed from the thin TiN that results in a larger contact area and therefore improves the contact properties of the relay. This modification improves the on-state resistance (RON) and also provides better stability over a larger number of switching cycles compared to a rigid contact. The results of life-time tests show that the contact resistance increases with the number of switching cycles possibly due to degradation of the contact material. However, flexible contacts show improved contact resistance stability under cyclic contact.","PeriodicalId":92162,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 26th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2013) : Taipei, Taiwan, 20-24 January 2013.
