Load cell with positive, negative and zero stiffness operating modes for milli- to nanonewton contact force monitoring in electrical probing
Monolithic integrated circuits (ICs) have been miniaturized over the past five decades, and today their components range in size from hundreds of microns to several nanometers. Making point contact with electrical samples under a microscope is referred to ...
EPFL2022Active load cell with positive, negative and zero stiffness operating modes for micronewton range contact force monitoring in electrical probing
Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Michal Stanislaw Smreczak
This article describes a novel method for applying a contact force in the range of 1 to 100 μN with pointed probe on a microscale sample in order to perform ohmic electrical measurements. The solution is based on the new TIVOT active load cell combining th ...
2022A load cell with adjustable stiffness and zero offset tuning dedicated to electrical micro- and nanoprobing
Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Michal Stanislaw Smreczak
The tasks of electrical micro- and nanoprobing require precision that goes beyond human perception and therefore, depend on sensors providing real-time feedback. Efforts towards automation in micro- and nanoprobing and emerging areas such as branched nanow ...
2022Flexure pivot based system
Simon Nessim Henein, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Benoît Dagon, Michal Stanislaw Smreczak
Flexure pivot based system (1) being one of: a force sensor, a force limiting device arranged to exert a predetermined threshold force, a torque limiting device arranged to exert a predetermined threshold torque, a programmable mechanical memory, or an acc ...
2022Design of a compliant load cell with adjustable stiffness
Charles Baur, Lennart Rubbert, Michal Stanislaw Smreczak
Manipulation at the sub-micron scale often requires force-sensing capabilities of milli-to nanonewton forces. This article presents a novel design of a compliant load cell with mechanically adjustable stiffness. The system enables adapting force sensitivit ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC2021Load cell with adjustable stiffness based on a preloaded T-shaped flexure pivot
Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Michal Stanislaw Smreczak
In this paper, we present a new flexure-based load cell with adjustable stiffness designed for force sensors with extended force range and respective measuring resolution. This novel monolithic mechanism consists of a T-shaped flexure pivot combined with a ...
