Research Contents:
1. Proposed several novel designs of contact-enhanced MEMS inertial switch (i.e., acceleration microswitch), which significantly prolong the witch-on time and reduce the bouncing effect; Developed a finite element model of the switch by ANSYS, CoventorWare or MATLAB/Simulink for simulating and optimizing the designs; Analyzed the squeeze film damping effect in the inertial switch with raised strips on the substrate; Fabricated the devices by the surface micromachining technology in the clean room; Packaged devices by epoxy adhesive bonding was characterized and evaluated using drop hammer experiment and vibration test.
2. Fabrication and characterization of superhydrophobic surface by electroplating regular rough micro-structures of metal nickel was done. According to Cassie-Baxter law, we proposed a method that the superhydrophobicy could be obtained on structured hydrophilic surface without any coating of low-surface-energy material. By controlling the parameters of cylinders (diameter/height/spacing) of electroplated nickel cylinder array, in the current our obtained the maximum contact angle (CA) between the array and the water droplet can be up to 155°.
3. Developed a programmable UV lithography system with multi-layer alignment for cylindrical substrates. By using this system various microstructures with different patterns can be fabricated on the capillary surface, and ±1um alignment precision can be realized. A home-made spray coating system is also developed for capillary substrates. A flexible implantable micro temperature sensor for hyperthermia application or other biomedical sensors could be designed and fabricated on the polymer capillary.
