This paper presents the design, analysis, fabrication, and characterization of an electrostatically driven single axis active probing device for cellular force sensing and cell manipulation applications. The active probe is actuated by linear comb driver to create the motion in the probing direction. Both actuation and sensing comb drives are designed for the probing stage. The sensing comb structures enable us to sense the probe displacement when it is actuated, which enables application of force balanced sensing. The designed active probing device has an overall size of 5 mm × 4.5 mm, is fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate through surface micromachining technologies and deep reactive-ion etching (DRIE) process. The probe stage structure is fabricated on the 10-μm-thick device layer of SOI wafer. The handle layer beneath probe stage is etched away by DRIE process to decrease the film damping between the stage and the handle wafer thus achieving high quality factor. The proposed single axis probe is aimed at sensing cellular force which ranges from pN to μN and cell manipulation applications.

The force is one of the parameters very often measured in our life. Force sensing resistors (FSRs) can be successfully used for measuring force, especially that they can be applied in dentistry for measuring bite forces. However, it is very difficult to apply commercial FSRs for accurate measurement of bite forces and to ensure personalized approach to each patient. Because of that, design, fabrication, and characterization of tailor-made force sensing resistors intended for application in dental medicine are presented in this paper. We designed two FSRs, one with two active areas and one with four active areas (for teeth of higher volume–molars). Two different fabrication processes were applied: first additive, using inkjet printer and silver as material for conductive segments, and second subtractive, using cutter, and gold as a material for manufacturing of interdigitated structure of FSR. Performances of these FSRs have been compared, measuring resistance as a function of applied force, using in-house developed experimental set-up with an articulator.
