| Abstract Scope |
Two limitations that most conventional nanoindenters labour under is that force can only be applied in one direction and a specimen can only be approached along the direction of motion of the actuator of the indenter. These limitations will be a problem if a situation calls for measuring in a plane perpendicular to the axis of actuation. One solution to this is to use a micromanipulator instead for micromechanical testing in-situ. A micromanipulator permits movement in three dimensions for a probe and makes approaching and performing tests on a feature of interest much more flexible. However, the increase in flexibility will lead to worse stiffness and precision. In this work, the possibility of performing micromechanical testing in a scanning electron microscope using a micromanipulator has been explored. Two different tests were performed, cyclic bending of cantilevers and bending of micropillars. Complementary measurements for both tests were performed using a nanoindenter. |
