Abstract
The aim of this study is to discuss the new technology in the field of Nano Tweezers. These tweezers integrate the electrostatic and thermal actuation. In this new technology, the Nanotweezers will have the ability work in the field of biotechnology for instance in the manipulation of DNA molecules or force sensing. The project will involve the design and the fabrication part. The new design will feature two tungsten tips that are chemically etched and attached to a carbon fiberreinforced polymers. It will have electrostatic and thermal actuators. The fabrication part will combine the tungsten etching and the ion deep reactive etching on an insulator made of the silicon wafer to form Nanotips that are sharp and microstructures that are of high aspect ratio respectively. Keywords— Nanotweezers, Nanotubes, Silicon-on-Insulator, Electrical and Thermal Actuators.
