Flexible silicon triaxial tactile imager with integrated 800µm-pitch sensor pixel structures on a diaphragm

Abstract

In this paper, a silicon integrated triaxial tactile imager with 800µm-pitch sensor pixel circuits and its real-time demonstration of slipping motion detection are presented for the first time. Distributions of normal-and shear-force components on contacting object surface are independently detected by the triaxial micro force sensor pixels on a flexible silicon diaphragm. The minimum force resolutions of each triaxial force sensor are below 5mN, and the cross-axis errors are below 3%. The new device structure of triaxial tactile imager can cope with both high spatial/force resolution and high adaptability to the object surface. Also, the beginning point of slipping can be specified by the individually formed fingerprint structures on the highdensity multi-axis force sensor circuits. This is the first triaxial tactile imager which can be compared with human fingertip functions on the sensing performance of slip detection.

A Post-Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Formation Process of High-Adhesiveness SU-8 Structures for Reliable Fabrication of Integrated Microelectromechanical System Sensors

“…On the movable structure, various kinds of microstructures such as the ''boss structure'' in pressure sensors or fingerprint structures on tactile sensors can be fabricated with a thick SU-8 layer. 13,[30][31][32] Since the thin layer covers the entire substrate, the adhesion problem will not be serious since the ratio of structure volume to contact area is smaller in a thin structure than in thick-SU-8 structures. In addition, it can reduce strain discontinuity at the bottom of the thick SU-8 layer caused by mechanical or thermal property difference at the interface of the layers.…”
