Parameter optimization for grinding process of micropores with high aspect ratio is discussed in this research. To ensure the surface accuracy on the inner side of deep micropore, the manual polishing or reaming process is a commonly adopted method. However, this process has disadvantages of limitation by operators’ experience and technique, labor consuming, and high cost. Skilled operators are also difficult to train nowadays. In order to address those flaws, this study applied the subtle abrasive jet machining technology and Taguchi Method for experimental design, so as to effectively obtain the appropriate surface roughness and processing uniformity. The Taguchi experimental results showed that when applying a Vacuum Pressure of 60 cmHg and a Air Pressure of 0.5 Mpa, the optimal polishing effect was attained using #2000SiC abrasive particles and an Mix Proportion (SiC: Additive) 2: 1. The average roughness of lifting pin hole was reduced from an original value of Ra 2.39 mm (Rmax: 10.74 mm) to a final value of Ra 0.07 mm (Rmax: 1.10 mm).

AbstractWe present a new method of increasing the effective electrode surface for improved neural recording. To optimize the electrode, the impedance can be decreased by introducing surface roughness or nanostructures on the electrode. High aspect ratio pillar-like polysilicon nanostructures are created in a reactive ion etch. Nanostructure robustness in cell culture is examined.

Main Factor

In cylindrical traverse grinding of a long workpiece with high aspect ratio, the shape accuracy of a workpiece worsens due to its low stiffness. In this study, the grinding force was measured during grinding process to calculate the elastic deformation of a workpiece caused by the normal grinding force. By comparing calculated elastic deformation with the measured shape error of ground workpiece, the cause for the shape error in case of grinding a long workpiece was investigated experimentally. From experimental results, it is confirmed that the main factor of the shape error of the long workpiece is its elastic deformation during grinding process.

Aluminum Substrates

Polishing of a nominally flat aluminum substrate using a fluid jet, carrying abrasive particles, was investigated. The effects of jet orientation and polishing duration were studied, on a fixed spot on the aluminum substrate. Stylus profilometry was used to examine the final surface along different directions. It was seen that the final erosion contour is strongly dependent on the jet orientation. The surface roughness was found to be dependent on the slurry parameters. On average, the average roughness (Ra) of the aluminum surface was reduced from 430 nm to 139 nm. Best polishing was obtained with the jet orientation of 30°. The process was simulated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and it was concluded that dynamic pressure is the main parameter affecting erosion. Results apply to erosion as well as polishing of metal surfaces.

Optimization Of Cutting Parameters

While thin beams are widely used structural elements in Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) there are very few studies investigating the laser machining of clean high aspect ratio silicon beams. This work presents a systematic study of selected influencing cutting parameters with the goal of machining high aspect ratio beams with low side wall surface roughness (Ra) and high cross section verticality, i.e. low taper angle. The Taguchi method was used to find the optimal setting for each of the selected parameters (pulse frequency, laser diode current, pulse overlap, number of patterns to be marked, gap size between patterns) utilizing orthogonal arrays and signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio analysis. Double-sided clamped beams of 100μm width and 10mm length were machined in silicon wafers of 525μm thickness using a nanosecond solid-state UV laser system (355nm wavelength). Our experimental results show that beams with an aspect ratio as high as 17.5 can be manufactured. Furthermore, a surface roughness of Ra = 0.37μm and taper angle of α = 2.52 degrees can be achieved. This will make the fast fabrication of MEMS devices with aspect ratios as high as those from deep reactive ion etching possible.

Metal forming for micro or mini-parts is a new developing trend in the metal forming application. The analysis of billet compression stability in upsetting is essential in selecting forming parameters and determining the size effect. The current study aims to explore the influence of billet geometry and surface roughness on the compression stability in upsetting high aspect-ratio shaped billets. 3D finite element simulation was employed to analyze the influence of surface roughness on the end faces of the billet and shapes profiles of the billet cross-section, on buckling in upsetting mini-size billets. Simulation results indicated that the rougher the contact surface, the lower was compression stability in upsetting the billets. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the billet affected the compression stability in upsetting. Mini billets with larger shape factors would lead to higher compression stability.
