Three-dimensional metal/SiO2-microtube arrays can be fabricated by vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth of silicon-wire, followed by the SiO2/metal depositions and the core-silicon etching. As the inside metal, we use iridium (Ir) with a low electrical electrolyte/electrode interfacial impedance in saline. An optical propagation through the Ir/SiO2-tube calculated by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method clearly indicates the effect of the inside Ir on the improved locality of light stimuli with the spot diameter of <; 3 μm. These results suggest that the Ir/SiO2-microtube array provides the low-impedance electrode and local optical stimuli with a same alignment, promising a new class of multifunctional neuroprobes for optogenetic.","PeriodicalId":92162,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 26th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2013) : Taipei, Taiwan, 20-24 January 2013.

The harvester is an improved version of [1], which operates with the frequency up conversion (FupC) principle. The former structure was composed of a low-frequency diaphragm carrying a magnet and 16 high-frequency cantilevers with coils. In this work, the phase difference between the coil outputs, leading to voltage cancellation in serial connection, has been eliminated by using a single coil placed on a diaphragm. Furthermore, the placement and the volume of the magnetic film have been modified for better magnetic coupling. The RMS values of the generated voltage and delivered power to an equivalent resistive load have been measured as 6.94 mV and 1.2 nW, respectively with 10 Hz, 3 mm peak to peak vibrations (0.6 g acceleration). About 32-fold increase in the peak power output has been demonstrated with the presented energy harvester with respect to the previous work.","PeriodicalId":92162,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 26th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2013) : Taipei, Taiwan, 20-24 January 2013.

For our use, the array was glued on a 100μm-thick glass substrate for ease of handling. Each cage is to trap an individual neuron to force a close proximity of the neuron to an embedded electrode inside the cage for stimulation and recording. In addition, each neurocage has six tunnels emanating from the cage to allow axons and dendrites to grow outward and form synapses with other trapped neurons. The Electrode inside each neurocage can then be used to stimulate and/or record electrical activity from the trapped cell at any given time. Why thin and flexible? From our previous work, it is learned that manually loading neuron one-by-one into the cage is time-consuming. We then propose to use laser tweezer to do the cell loading from the backside of the array. To facilitate laser tweezer neuron loading, the neurocage array must be transparent and thin. On the other hand, device flexibility facilitates a high-yield fabrication, easy singulation and attachment to almost any substrate for use.","PeriodicalId":92162,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 26th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2013) : Taipei, Taiwan, 20-24 January 2013.

Currently, even the most advanced prostheses do not have enough channels to provide vision to a desirable level. In this paper, we present a system design and a packaging scheme for a 512-channel intraocular epiretinal implant. Both a wireless power coil (with high transfer efficiency) and a data coil are included for this intraocular system. Simulation of the interference between coils is investigated and the results show that the two coils can be put in a co-planar fashion using two notch filters to minimize interference. The complete package is demonstrated with a mechanical model with a parylene-C flexible circuit board, i.e., parylene flex, to show the placement of the IC chips, discrete components, and coils. It also shows the final folded device after surgical insertion into an eye to save space. The feasibility of the proposed structure has been successfully tested in vivo. Experimentally, the maximum allowable pulling force is measured by a dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) machine to be 8N, which provides a large safety margin for surgery.","PeriodicalId":92162,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 26th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2013) : Taipei, Taiwan, 20-24 January 2013.

When stress is applied to the system, the surface of the system is often deformed in periodical wrinkle patterns due to the mismatch of the stiffness and the length. As reported in [3,4], the periodical patterns result in functional surfaces, such as smart adhesion, hydrophobic surfaces and diffractive gratings. In this paper, we present a tunable grating and a hydrophobic surface using the wrinkle phenomenon. The device is composed of a rigid layer and an elastomeric chamber. The chamber can be inflated pneumatically using oil, and the strain exerted on the device is controllable. By controlling the strain, we achieved a wrinkle pattern with a 10 μm wavelength whose amplitude is tunable from 1.6 μm to 2.8 μm. With this method, a tunable optical grating has been achieved. We have also created a tunable hydrophobic surface by controlling the surface roughness in two dimensions. The contact angle of a water droplet on the device ranged from 110 degrees to 130 degrees. The device can be fabricated with a transparent and flexible material and does not require electrical wires. This paper presents a range of possibilities for a functional wrinkle structure controlled using a MEMS technique.","PeriodicalId":92162,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 26th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2013) : Taipei, Taiwan, 20-24 January 2013.

With pore sizes in the range of 2.6-5.2 nm and surface area reaching over 900 m2/g, these materials are capable of considerably fast reactions. Combustion characterization is performed through high speed imaging at a rate of 930,000 frames per second.

Graphene is supremely sensitive to its surroundings. Owing to the ~1-nm-thick electric double layer, ILs enable low-voltage operation of the FET. In addition, their solubility selectivity for different gases are controllable. Therefore, the proposed sensor selectively detects low concentration gases at low gate voltage. We fabricated the IL-gate FET using graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition. The current-voltage characteristic of the graphene-FET changed in proportion to logarithm of gas concentration. We demonstrated that our device was able to detect at least 30 ppm of ammonia (NH3) and 4000 ppm of carbon dioxide (CO2) at gate voltage below 1 V.
