Manufacturing of 3D Helical Microswimmer by AFM Micromanipulation for Microfluidic Applications [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing, 2021 Manufacturing of microsystems based on complex three-dimensional microstructures requires critical steps such as mass calibrations and integration process. However, such steps involve several manipulation steps which are not well controlled thus the fragile 3D microstructures could be damaged or destroyed.
