Nanoprecise Positioning

Micromechanical Testing on Silver Nanowires

Challenge :

The small specimen size often imposes significant difficulties for preparation and testing . This challenge can be overcome with a micro-electromechanic system that allows mechanical testings on nanowires . The possibility to develop such system passes also through the micromanipulation of the nanowires with a nanometer precision .

Benefits :

• nanometer accuracy
• vacuum compatible

• stackable positioners ( up to 6 degrees of freedom if required ) attocube ´ s solution :

A stack of 3 ECS piezo positioners allows the micromanipulation of the nanowires in 3 different axis ( XYZ ) ensuring nanometer repeatability in order to perform simultaneously four point electric measurement by enabling the piezo-resistivity via a micromechanical testing system .
