In this paper, nano manufacturing using the FPN (Fountain Pen Nano-Lithography) with
active membrane pumping is investigated. This FPN has integrated pumping chamber, micro
channel, and high capacity reservoir for continuous ink feed. The most important aspect in this
probe provided the control of fluid injection using active membrane pumping in chamber. The flow
rates in channel by capillary force are theoretically analyzed with two different working fluids,
DPD (diphenyldichlorosilane) and water, including the cantilever deflection and the control of mass
flow rates by the deflection of membrane. The theoretical results are compared with numerical ones
that calculated by commercial code, FLUENT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
