In recent years there has been a growing market for more universal analysis instruments. Analysis tools such as AFM1, TEM2 and nanoindentation work in similar environments. It is therefore possible, within limits, to use the same equipment to do all of these analyses. Conducting nanoindentation experiments in a TEM has also the advantage of increased accuracy compared to the tests done today. 1 Atomic Force Microscopy 2 Transmission Electron MicroscopeThis project is focused on design and fabrication of a capacitive force sensor for AFM and / or nanoindentation measurements in a TEM. Nanofactory Instruments, the initiator of this, project, has developed a specimen holder for TEM that can be used for nanoindentation experiments. The measurement system used today has its limitations of being to large to be mounted in a TEM and thus an improved model was desired.The idea to combine an AFM and nanoindenter sensor in the same design is however at this stage inhibited by a relatively large diamond tip that was specified for the nanoindentation experiments. The work was therefore concentrated on the design and fabrication of a nanoindenter sensor. The design is done with an integrated fixture for a diamond tip with specified dimensions. The sensor design has been manufactured using double-sided lithography, DRIE3 etch and anodic bonding. The resulting wafer was sawed into components and the components were evaluated. 3 Dry Reactive Ion EtchEvaluation of the sensor shows that it was possible to manufacture a micromachined nanoindenter sensor with an integrated fixture for a standard diamond tip. CV4-measurements conducted with HP 4284A indicates a force dependent capacitance change when a force within the specification range is applied. Future work will involve a more detailed characterization using a read-out chip from SmartTec. 4 Capacitance-Voltage measurements
