| Summary: | This paper discussed focused ion beam micro nano machining to fabricate MEMS
(microelectromechanical systems) such as optical elements, trimming of atomic force microscope (AFM)
tip, nanopillar, micromilling tool, microcavity for replication is discussed. The trimmed AFM tip was
tested in measurement and imaging of high aspect ratio nanopillars where higher accuracy and clarity
were observed. Micromilling tool fabricated using FIB sputtering was used in micromilling with desktop
milling machine to machine microchannels. Cavities of hair-sized microgear were sputtered using FIB
with submicrometer accuracy and nanometric leveled surface finish. Microcavities were used in
microinjection molding for mass production of polymer microcomponents. The overall sizes of these
microcomponents were few tens to few hundreds micrometers. The replicated microcomponents were
inspected with scanning electron microscope where faithful duplication of accuracy and surface texture of
the cavity was observed. These fabricated microcomponents have potential application in biomedical and
other microelectromechanical systems. |
