[0028] In the field of materials science, it is frequently necessary to study the properties of micron-sized materials (such as two-dimensional materials like graphene), including their friction, adhesion, hydrophilicity, and hydrophobicity. Research on friction and adhesion involves the fabrication of microsphere probes, probes encapsulated in two-dimensional materials, and heterojunctions; research on hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity involves the measurement of contact angles and roll-off angles. However, currently, the fabrication of various probes, the fabrication of heterojunctions, and the measurement of contact angles are performed using different devices, significantly increasing the purchase and maintenance costs for users.
[0029] Based on this, this application provides a highly integrated multifunctional micro-nano manipulation system that can not only complete the fabrication of various probes and heterojunctions, but also measure contact angle, roll-off angle and size, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of the past where users needed to equip themselves with multiple single-function devices.
[0030] For ease of description, in the following embodiments, the height direction (i.e., the vertical direction) of the multifunctional micro-nano manipulation system is defined as the up-down direction, the length direction is defined as the left-right direction, and the width direction is defined as the front-back direction. Based on this, in Figure 2 In the diagram, the left side of the paper is the left direction, the right side is the right direction, the bottom of the paper is the front direction, the top of the paper is the back direction, the inside of the paper is the bottom direction, and the outside of the paper is the top direction.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the multifunctional micro-nano manipulation system includes a stage 10, a glass slide 20, a first position fine adjustment device 30a, a second position fine adjustment device 30b, a vertical microscope device 40, a horizontal microscope device 50, and a computer. The vertical microscope device 40 and the horizontal microscope device 50 are connected to the computer for communication. The communication connection method is a wired communication connection such as RS485 or a wireless communication connection such as 5G or Wifi.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first position fine-tuning device 30a is used to adjust the position of the stage 10; the second position fine-tuning device 30b is located on one side of the first position fine-tuning device 30a and is used to adjust the position of the slide 20; the vertical microscope device 40 is located above the stage 10 and is used to acquire image information in the first imaging area; the horizontal microscope device 50 and the second position fine-tuning device 30b are located on different sides of the first position fine-tuning device 30a, and the horizontal microscope device 50 is used to acquire image information in the second imaging area; wherein, the second imaging area and the first There is an overlapping area in the imaging area; by adjusting the relative position of the stage 10 and the slide 20, the sample on the stage 10 and the item to be transferred on the slide 20 can be made to contact in the overlapping area, so as to realize the precise preparation of the probe or heterojunction under the coordinated observation of the vertical microscope device 40 and the horizontal microscope device 50; by adjusting the position of the stage 10, the sample on the stage 10 can be placed in the second imaging area, so as to use the horizontal microscope device 50 to obtain the outer contour information of the sample on the stage 10 and complete the measurement of the sample contact angle, roll angle and size (such as thread size).
[0033] It should be noted that, in order to realize real-time observation and recording of the preparation and measurement processes, the vertical microscope device 40 includes a first optical microscope 41 and a first CCD camera 42, and the horizontal microscope device 50 includes a second CCD camera 51.
[0034] Optionally, in order to ensure that the operator can obtain bright and clear images during probe preparation, heterojunction preparation, and contact angle measurement, the first optical microscope 41 includes a continuous zoom microscope and an apochromatic objective lens; to avoid image distortion affecting accurate measurement, the second CCD camera 51 is equipped with a distortion-resistant telecentric lens 52.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the first position fine-tuning device 30a includes a Z-axis moving mechanism 32; the second position fine-tuning device 30b includes an XY-axis moving platform 31 and a Z-axis moving mechanism 32. The two Z-axis moving mechanisms 32 are used to adjust the height of the stage 10 and the slide 20, respectively, while the XY-axis moving platform 31 is used to adjust the horizontal position of the slide 20. The adjustment accuracy of the XY-axis moving platform 31 and the Z-axis moving mechanism 32 is no greater than 0.01 mm, and the specific adjustment accuracy can be determined according to the actual situation. Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the slide 20's movement, the slide 20 is preferably mounted on the movable part of the first position fine-tuning device 30a via an adapter 21.
[0036] At this point, the operating modes of the multifunctional micro / nano manipulation system include, but are not limited to, the following four:
[0037] Working Method 1: Preparation of microsphere probes, the specific steps of which include:
[0038] A1. Disperse multiple UV adhesive droplets and multiple microspheres at the bottom of the slide 20 (the UV adhesive droplets and microspheres are adhered to the bottom of the slide 20 by van der Waals forces), and install the probe cantilever on the stage 10 with the front facing upward.
[0039] A2. By using the first position fine-tuning device 30a and the second position fine-tuning device 30b, the relative positions of the slide 20 and the stage 10 are adjusted so that the tip of the probe cantilever contacts the UV adhesive droplet on the bottom of the slide 20 in the overlapping area, thus completing the adhesive application. During this process, the vertical microscope device 40 allows the user to accurately control the relative position of the UV adhesive droplet on the slide 20 and the probe cantilever in the horizontal direction, and the horizontal microscope device 50 allows the user to accurately control the relative position of the UV adhesive droplet on the slide 20 and the probe cantilever in the vertical direction. This not only allows for accurate control of the amount and position of adhesive application, but also prevents the probe cantilever from excessively contacting the slide 20 and failing.
[0040] A3. Separate the probe cantilever from the slide 20 and readjust the relative positions of the slide 20 and the probe cantilever so that the adhesive on the probe cantilever contacts the individual microspheres at the bottom of the slide 20 in the overlapping area.
[0041] A4. Separate the probe cantilever from the glass slide 20 and determine whether the microspheres have been successfully adhered. If yes, solidify the UC adhesive to complete the preparation of the microsphere probe. If no, return to step A3.
[0042] Method 2: Fabrication of microsphere probes encapsulated with two-dimensional materials. This involves simply attaching the two-dimensional material to the microsphere probe and then curing it with UV adhesive. Specific steps include:
[0043] B1. Place a PDMS substrate (the two-dimensional material is adhered to the bottom of the PDMS substrate by van der Waals forces) and a UV droplet on the bottom of the slide 20, and install the microsphere probe on the stage 10 with the front facing upward.
[0044] B2. The relative positions of the slide 20 and the stage 10 are adjusted by the first position fine adjustment device 30a and the second position fine adjustment device 30b so that the microspheres of the microsphere probe contact the UV adhesive droplets on the bottom of the slide 20 in the overlapping area to complete the adhesive application. In this process, the vertical microscope device 40 allows the user to accurately control the relative position of the UV adhesive droplets on the slide 20 and the microsphere probe in the horizontal direction, and the horizontal microscope device 50 allows the user to accurately control the relative position of the UV adhesive droplets on the slide 20 and the microsphere probe in the vertical direction. This not only allows for accurate control of the amount and position of adhesive application, but also avoids excessive contact between the microsphere probe and the slide 20, which could lead to failure.
[0045] B3. Separate the microsphere probe from the glass slide 20 and readjust the relative positions of the glass slide 20 and the microsphere probe so that the adhesive on the microsphere probe contacts the single two-dimensional material at the bottom of the glass slide 20 in the overlapping area.
[0046] B4. Separate the microsphere probe from the glass slide 20 and determine whether the microsphere has been successfully adhered. If so, cure the UV adhesive to complete the preparation of the microsphere probe encapsulating the two-dimensional material. If not, return to step B3.
[0047] It should be noted that in the above-mentioned working mode one and working mode two, the probe cantilever and microsphere probe can be installed on the stage 10 by various probe fixing devices such as probe clips. The specific probe fixing device used can be determined according to the actual situation and is not limited thereto.
[0048] Method 3: Preparation of heterojunctions, including the following steps:
[0049] A PDMS substrate for supporting two-dimensional materials is placed at the bottom of the glass slide 20 (the two-dimensional materials are adhered to the bottom of the PDMS substrate by van der Waals forces), and a substrate for supporting the two-dimensional materials is placed on the stage 10.
[0050] The relative positions of the slide 20 and the stage 10 are adjusted by the first position fine adjustment device 30a and the second position fine adjustment device 30b, so that the two-dimensional material at the bottom of the slide 20 and the target area of the substrate come into contact and adhere in the overlapping area, thereby transferring and assembling the two-dimensional material on the target area of the substrate to complete the preparation of the heterojunction. In this process, the vertical microscope device 40 allows the user to accurately control the relative position of the two-dimensional material on the slide 20 and the substrate in the horizontal direction, and the horizontal microscope device 50 allows the user to accurately control the relative position of the two-dimensional material on the slide 20 and the substrate in the vertical direction, so as to accurately control the docking position of the two and ensure the docking accuracy of the two.
[0051] Working Method Four: Conduct contact angle measurement, the specific steps of which include:
[0052] The sample is mounted on the stage 10, and the liquid to be tested is dropped onto the sample to form a droplet. The position of the stage 10 is adjusted by the first position fine adjustment device 30a so that the sample on the stage 10 is in the second imaging area. At this time, the horizontal microscope device 50 can acquire the outer contour image of the sample and the droplet on the sample, and send the acquired image information to the computer so that the computer can process and obtain the contact angle of the sample.
[0053] Therefore, the multifunctional micro-nano manipulation system of this application effectively overcomes the shortcomings of previous methods that required users to equip multiple single-function devices by integrating probe preparation, heterojunction preparation and contact angle measurement functions, thereby significantly reducing the purchase and maintenance costs of the device and improving the utilization rate of the entire system.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first position fine-tuning device 30a also includes an XY-axis moving platform 31, which allows the two-dimensional material on the glass slide 20 to be transferred to the microsphere probe or the probe cantilever by a frictional transfer method, thereby enabling the preparation of other types of probes.
[0055] Specifically, one method for preparing a probe encapsulated in two-dimensional materials via triboelectric transfer includes:
[0056] C1. A PDMS substrate for supporting two-dimensional materials is placed at the bottom of the slide 20 (the two-dimensional materials are adhered to the bottom of the PDMS substrate by van der Waals forces), and the probe cantilever is mounted on the stage 10 with the front facing upward.
[0057] C2. Adjust the relative positions of the slide 20 and the stage 10 using the first position fine adjustment device 30a and the second position fine adjustment device 30b, so that the tip of the probe cantilever contacts the two-dimensional material at the bottom of the slide 20 in the overlapping area.
[0058] C3. Under the first contact pressure, move the probe cantilever laterally so that the probe cantilever scrapes and rubs on the two-dimensional material;
[0059] C4. Determine whether the two-dimensional material has been transferred to the probe cantilever. If yes, complete the preparation of the probe wrapped with two-dimensional material; if no, return to step C3, adjust the pressure value of the first contact pressure, and repeat the friction transfer.
[0060] During this process, the vertical microscope device 40 allows the user to accurately control the relative position of the two-dimensional material on the slide 20 and the probe cantilever in the horizontal direction, while the horizontal microscope device 50 allows the user to accurately control the relative position of the two-dimensional material on the slide 20 and the probe cantilever in the vertical direction, thus achieving accurate control of the contact position and contact pressure.
[0061] Of course, in order to improve the success rate of preparing probes encapsulated in two-dimensional materials, such as Figure 7 As shown, the slide 20 has a clearance hole 20a near the free end to allow the two-dimensional material on the PDMS substrate to pass. In this way, when the probe cantilever scratches and rubs the two-dimensional material with a certain pressure, the two-dimensional material has enough deformation space to deform, thereby ensuring that the two-dimensional material and the probe cantilever have sufficient contact area during the scratching and rubbing process, and improving the success rate of the two-dimensional material wrapping around the probe body. In addition, the clearance hole 20a can also prevent the probe cantilever from bending and breaking under the stop of the slide 20, causing unnecessary losses.
[0062] Another method for preparing probes encapsulated in two-dimensional materials via triboelectric transfer includes:
[0063] D1. Plasma treatment is performed on the probe cantilever with microspheres or needle tips, and the substrate with deposited two-dimensional material is heated; the plasma treatment power is 18W, the treatment time is not less than 10 minutes, the vacuum degree of the plasma treatment chamber is about 250 mTorr; the final heating temperature is 200 degrees Celsius, and the heating rate is 1 degree Celsius / min.
[0064] D2. The heated substrate with deposited two-dimensional material is placed at the bottom of the glass slide 20, and the plasma-treated probe cantilever is tilted and mounted on the stage 10 with the front facing upward.
[0065] D3. Adjust the relative positions of the slide 20 and the stage 10 using the first position fine adjustment device 30a and the second position fine adjustment device 30b, so that the microspheres or tips of the probe cantilever contact the two-dimensional material at the bottom of the slide 20 in the overlapping area.
[0066] D4. Under the first contact pressure, the probe cantilever is rubbed back and forth on the two-dimensional material.
[0067] D5. Determine whether the two-dimensional material has been transferred to the probe cantilever. If yes, complete the preparation of the probe wrapped with two-dimensional material; if no, return to step D4, adjust the pressure value of the first contact pressure, and repeat the friction transfer.
[0068] During this process, the vertical microscope device 40 allows the user to accurately control the relative position of the two-dimensional material on the slide 20 and the probe cantilever in the horizontal direction, while the horizontal microscope device 50 allows the user to accurately control the relative position of the two-dimensional material on the slide 20 and the probe cantilever in the vertical direction, thus achieving accurate control of the contact position and contact pressure.
[0069] High temperatures can reduce the mechanical strength of two-dimensional materials, making them easier to break, which is beneficial for subsequent frictional separation. Plasma treatment can increase the oxygen-containing functional groups on the probe cantilever to enhance adhesion. This not only helps to improve the success rate of two-dimensional material transfer, but also makes it easier to wrap the two-dimensional material in a capped form on the microspheres or tips of the probe cantilever, thus improving the bonding force between the two.
[0070] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the XY-direction moving platform 31 mentioned above includes an X-direction moving mechanism 31a and a Y-direction moving mechanism 31b. The Y-direction moving mechanism 31b is disposed above the X-direction moving mechanism 31a, and the X-direction moving mechanism 31a is used to adjust the position of the Y-direction moving mechanism 31b in the X direction. The Y-direction moving mechanism 31b is used to adjust the position of the corresponding Z-direction moving mechanism 32 in the Y direction. The X direction and the Y direction are set at an angle. In this embodiment, the X direction and the Y direction are perpendicular.
[0071] It should be noted that the X-axis moving mechanism 31a, Y-axis moving mechanism 31b and Z-axis moving mechanism 32 are all existing mechanisms that can achieve fine adjustment of position in a specific direction, and are not limited thereto; in this embodiment, the X-axis moving mechanism 31a, Y-axis moving mechanism 31b and Z-axis moving mechanism 32 are preferably micrometer head adjustment mechanisms.
[0072] Specifically, the structure of the differential head adjustment mechanism is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes a fixed base 311, a movable base 312, and a micrometer head 314; wherein, the movable base 312 is slidably mounted on the fixed base 311 via a guide rail 313; the micrometer head 314 is mounted on one side of the fixed base 311, and the movable base 312 is provided with a connecting block 3121 connected to the micrometer head 314; by simply turning the micrometer cylinder of the micrometer head 314, the movable base 312 can slide back and forth along the guide rail 313 to achieve precise adjustment of the position of the movable base 314.
[0073] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the first position fine-tuning device 30a also includes an θ-axis rotation platform 33 (i.e., the first position fine-tuning device 30a belongs to a four-axis moving platform); the θ-axis rotation platform 33 includes a base 331 and a turntable 332 vertically rotatably mounted on the base 331; wherein, a connecting handle 3321 is fixed on one side of the turntable 332; two threaded seats 333 are installed on the side of the base 331, and each threaded seat 333 is threadedly connected to a fine-tuning screw 334; the two fine-tuning screws 334 cooperate to limit the position of the connecting handle 3321; thus, when it is necessary to adjust the angle of the turntable 332, it is only necessary to rotate one fine-tuning screw 334 clockwise and the other fine-tuning screw 334 counterclockwise; the setting of the θ-axis rotation platform 33 can precisely adjust the horizontal angle of the sample on the stage 10 to realize the preparation of heterojunctions at different relative angles.
[0074] To expand the angle adjustment range of the turntable 332, multiple threaded holes can be arranged at intervals on the outer circumference of the turntable 332, and the connecting handle 3321 is threadedly connected to one of the threaded holes. In this way, by simply aligning the connecting handle 3321 between the two fine-tuning screws 334 with different threaded holes on the turntable 332, a coarse adjustment of the larger angle of the turntable 332 can be completed. Subsequently, by adjusting the two fine-tuning screws 334, a fine adjustment of the angle of the turntable 332 can be completed.
[0075] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first position fine adjustment device 30a includes an α-axis tilting platform 34 (the first position fine adjustment device 30a belongs to a five-axis moving platform); the rotation center line of the α-axis tilting platform 34 is parallel to the center line of the horizontal microscope device 50, which not only facilitates the adjustment of the tilt angle of the probe cantilever or microsphere probe, but also facilitates the measurement of the roll angle.
[0076] Since the α-axis oscillation platform 34 is existing technology, it will not be described in detail. For specific structure, please refer to the α-axis oscillation platform of Sigma Optical Co., Ltd., such as the α-axis oscillation platform with model series GOH, G0HB, G0HT and G0HTA.
[0077] To facilitate the overall transport of the multifunctional micro / nano manipulation system, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first position fine adjustment device 30a and the second position fine adjustment device 30b are both mounted on the substrate 70, and the vertical microscope device 40 is mounted on the substrate 70 via the first support frame 60a, and the horizontal microscope device 50 is mounted on the substrate 70 via the second support frame 60b. In order to avoid interference between the devices, the second position fine adjustment device 30b, the first support frame 60a and the second support frame 60b need to be located on different sides of the first position fine adjustment device 30a.
[0078] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the second position fine adjustment device 30b is mounted on the substrate via the third support frame 60c so that the position of the glass slide 20 can always be higher than the position of the stage 10, which facilitates the preparation of heterojunctions and various probes by the inverted method.
[0079] It is understood that the first support frame 60a, the second support frame 60b, and the third support frame 60c can be height-adjustable support frames or height-fixed support frames, and there is no limitation on this. In this embodiment, the first support frame 60a, the second support frame 60b, and the third support frame 60c are preferably height-adjustable support frames. The height-adjustable support frame can be a telescopic adjustment frame or a screw adjustment frame, or any other lifting support frame that can achieve height adjustment, and there is no limitation on this.
