Activation and characterization of Rb MEMS cells with an automatic system at wafer level
The push towards miniaturized and low-power quantum sensors demands reliable and mass-manufacturable atomic reservoirs. In this paper, we report on the implementation of an automatic system to activate and characterize a wafer of microfabricated Rb cells. The setup is composed of a motorized translation system jointly with two optical sources, a high-power one used for activating Rb pills and the other for spectroscopy purposes. The spectroscopy signal is analyzed in real-time to check the release of Rb during activation. Alternatively, the signal recognition can be used in post-production for screening the entire wafer. In this sense, the presented automated setup represents an effective tool to characterize the cell production in terms of Rb content and signal contrast, making a step towards mass production of devices based on miniaturized alkali vapor cells.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators A: Physical brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal entirely devoted to disseminating information on all aspects of research and development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical regularly publishes original papers, letters to the Editors and from time to time invited review articles within the following device areas:
• Fundamentals and Physics, such as: classification of effects, physical effects, measurement theory, modelling of sensors, measurement standards, measurement errors, units and constants, time and frequency measurement. Modeling papers should bring new modeling techniques to the field and be supported by experimental results.
• Materials and their Processing, such as: piezoelectric materials, polymers, metal oxides, III-V and II-VI semiconductors, thick and thin films, optical glass fibres, amorphous, polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon.
• Optoelectronic sensors, such as: photovoltaic diodes, photoconductors, photodiodes, phototransistors, positron-sensitive photodetectors, optoisolators, photodiode arrays, charge-coupled devices, light-emitting diodes, injection lasers and liquid-crystal displays.
• Mechanical sensors, such as: metallic, thin-film and semiconductor strain gauges, diffused silicon pressure sensors, silicon accelerometers, solid-state displacement transducers, piezo junction devices, piezoelectric field-effect transducers (PiFETs), tunnel-diode strain sensors, surface acoustic wave devices, silicon micromechanical switches, solid-state flow meters and electronic flow controllers.
