Additive Micromanufacturing: Multimetal Multiphase Functional Architectures
AMMicro aims to develop robust 3D MEMS devices using localized electrodeposition and advanced reliability testing to enhance damage sensing and impact protection for diverse applications.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Current 2.5D microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices are disadvantaged by their distinctive unreliability. Lack of built-in damage sensing, impact protection mechanisms, and the absence of application-relevant reliability tests collectively mask the true potential of MEMS devices. AMMicro will address these limitations by designing and developing the building blocks essential for robust next-generation 3D MEMS devices. This will be done using a novel combination of cutting-edge electrodeposition techniques and advanced reliability testing protocols.
Technology Overview
Localized electrodeposition in liquid (LEL) is an advanced micromanufacturing technology capable of printing 3D metal micro-/nano-architectures. With recent developments in advanced reliability testing using micro/nanomechanical testing (MNT) platforms, application-relevant high dynamic conditions are possible, yet remain under-exploited.
Project Goals
AMMicro will break new ground by harnessing the combined potential of LEL and MNT. The project aims to:
- Fabricate multimetal microlattices with optimized position-specific chemical compositions to maximize specific impact energy absorption.
- Create multiphase microlattices fabricated with dyed fluid encapsulations and pressure-release valves to enable novel self-damage sensing and impact-protection mechanisms.
- Fabricate full-metal 3D MEMS-based load sensors to be used for tensile testing of LEL printed nanowires.
- Validate the enhanced reliability of these microarchitectures using application-relevant advanced mechanical testing.
Interdisciplinary Impact
AMMicro is a highly interdisciplinary project at the boundary of materials science, mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing engineering.
