automated Nanomanufacturing System to assemble carbon nanotube based devices
The International Journal of Robotics Research, 2009Co-Authors: Ning Xi, Carmen Kar Man Fung, Jiangbo Zhang, Hongzhi Chen, Uchechukwu C WejinyaAbstract:In this paper we report the design and implementation of a novel automated manufacturing System for carbon nanotube (CNT)-based nanodevices, which integrates a new dielectrophoretic (DEP) microchamber into a robotic-based deposition workstation. The microchamber has been fabricated to separate and select CNTs with the desired electronic property by using DEP force. Moreover, a series of tools for mass-producing consistent nanodevices has been developed with the CNT deposition workstation, such as computer-controllable micromanipulators and a micro-active nozzle. Detailed experimental studies of the CNT separation and deposition processes have been performed on both single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Preliminary results show that CNTs could be manipulated to multiple pairs of microelectrodes repeatedly. Consistent I-V characteristics and CNT formations of the fabricated devices were obtained. The yield of semi-conducting CNTs was also increased by using our System. Therefore, by using the proposed CNT separation and deposition System, CNT-based nanodevices with specific and consistent electronic properties can be manufactured automatically and effectively.

Planning and Control for Automated Nanorobotic Assembly
Proceedings of the 2005 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2005Co-Authors: Heping Chen, Ning Xi, Jiangbo Zhang, Guangyong Li, M. ProkosAbstract:Nanomanufacturing using Atomic Force Microcopy has been widely investigated. Most of nanomanipulation schemes go through the scan-design-manipulation-scan cycle manually which is time consuming and inefficient. Automated AFM tip path planning is desirable for Nanomanufacturing, but does not receive much attention. In this paper, a CAD guided automated Nanomanufacturing System is presented. Based on the CAD model of a nanostructure, the manipulation paths for both nanoparticles and nanorods are generated automatically. A local scanning method is developed to compensate for the random drift that may cause the failure of the nano-assembly. The experimental results demonstrate that the developed algorithm can be employed to manufacture nanostructures efficiently. The research work opens a door to the CAD guided automated Nanomanufacturing.

Automated nano-assembly of nanoscale structures
4th IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology 2004., 2004Co-Authors: Heping Chen, Ning Xi, Guangyong Li, Jingbo Zhang, A. SaeedAbstract:Nanoscale products have many potential applications. The complexity of Nanomanufacturing requires to position, manipulate and assemble nanoobjects to form asymmetric patterns. The atomic force microscopy has been proven to be a powerful technique for Nanomanufacturing. Typical manual nanomanipulation using an atomic force microscope (AFM) is time-consuming and inefficient. Automated AFM tip path planning is desirable for Nanomanufacturing, but does not receive much attention. In this paper, a CAD-guided automated Nanomanufacturing System is developed to manufacture a nanostructure/nanodevice based on the CAD model of the nanostructure/nanodevice. The System is implemented to manipulate nanoobjects to manufacture nanostructures automatically.
