Electrodeposited micro-actuators: A simple tool for impedance-based sensing

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

This paper is focused on the design of metal (Ni) electro-thermal micro-actuators, fabricated via a single electro-plating step. Analytical and finite-element solutions of the electro-thermal and thermo-elastic problems are presented to aid in the design of the devices. A separate section is devoted to the problem of displacement determination using charge sensitive amplifiers for high-precision capacitance measurements. Finally, a possible future use of these actuators in impedance-based biosensors is outlined. copyright The Electrochemical Society.
