Manipulation of 10 – 40 μm Diameter Cells Using a Thermally Actuated Microgripper (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Daunton, R., Gallant, A., & Wood, D. (2012). Manipulation of 10 – 40 μm Diameter Cells Using a Thermally Actuated Microgripper. . https://doi.org/10.1557/opl.2012.1072

This work presents the successful fabrication of a thermally actuated U-shaped microgripper that has been specially designed to enable low voltage operation for bidirectional in plane deflection. The microgripper tips are carefully designed to match... Read More about Manipulation of 10 – 40 μm Diameter Cells Using a Thermally Actuated Microgripper.

Ti-TiOx-Pt Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes Fabricated via a Simple Oxidation Technique (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dodd, L., Gallant, A., & Wood, D. (2012). Ti-TiOx-Pt Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes Fabricated via a Simple Oxidation Technique. . https://doi.org/10.1557/opl.2012.72

This work presents the successful production, via a simple oxidation process, of Ti-TiOx-Pt Metal-Oxide-Metal diodes with excellent electrical asymmetry. TEM analysis has been used to verify the oxide thickness. A thicker layer produces better diodes... Read More about Ti-TiOx-Pt Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes Fabricated via a Simple Oxidation Technique.

A Multifunctional Microgripper Capable of Simultaneous Single Cell Manipulation and Associated Ion Sensing (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Daunton, R., Gallant, A., Kataky, R., & Wood, D. (2012). A Multifunctional Microgripper Capable of Simultaneous Single Cell Manipulation and Associated Ion Sensing. . https://doi.org/10.1557/opl.2012.1306

The successful modification of the tips of a cellular microgripper into ion selective electrodes capable of sensing calcium ions at concentrations as low as 8x10-5 M is described. The modification involves applying the process of adding the component... Read More about A Multifunctional Microgripper Capable of Simultaneous Single Cell Manipulation and Associated Ion Sensing.

Manipulation of exposure dose parameters to improve production of high aspect ratio structures using SU-8 (2012)
Journal Article
Daunton, R., Gallant, A., & Wood, D. (2012). Manipulation of exposure dose parameters to improve production of high aspect ratio structures using SU-8. Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, 22(7), Article 075016. https://doi.org/10.1088/0960-1317/22/7/075016

The detailed consideration of the chemistry occurring during the fabrication process is very important for SU-8 compared to other photoresists. In SU-8, the solvent does far more than just act as a carrier for the photoactive compounds: it plays a pr...
