Micro system analyzer facility is for static and dynamic characterization of micro-components. It can be used for non contact measurement, analysis and visualization of structural vibrations (both in-plane and out-of-plane) and surface topography of microstructures.

Make and Model

Polytec, MSA 500 ppm

Available mode for use

  • In plane and out of plane vibration analysis of micro components like micro cantilevers, diaphragms and similar structural components etc.

  • Surface topography measurements

Specifications/Features

  • Surface metrology:

    • Envelope evaluation (for rough surfaces) or phase evaluation (even more accurate, for smooth surfaces)
    • Facilitates evaluation of certain portions of surface
    • Automation and customization of routine measurements
    • Data can be exported for CAD comparison and reverse engineering

  • Scanning laser doppler vibrometry and stroboscopic video microscopy:

    • Non contact, zero mass loading
    • Full-field vibration mapping and broadband, out of plane frequency response information in real time
    • Versatile vibration and geometry data import and export interfaces to validate FE models
    • Submicron-sized laser spot probes microstructures
    • Laser dimmer for optimized measurement conditions

Application

  • Obtain surface profile, form and shapeinformation of the microstructure

  • Non contact measurement, analysis and visualization of 'in-plane' and 'out-of-plane' vibration response at resonance as well as transient states.

  • Amplitude and phase data for vibration response

  • Transient measurements

This facility is for static and dynamic characterization of micro-components (MEMS). This advanced measurement system integrates a microscope with scanning laser doppler vibrometer, stroboscopic video microscopy and scanning white light interferometer into a single instrument head. So all three can be done without really need to shift the component.

It can be used for non contact measurement, analysis and visualization of structural vibrations (both in-plane and out-of-plane) and surface topography of microstructures.

Instructions for sample preparation/submission

 

  • The sample surface to be analyzed should be at least partially reflective to get satisfactory results
  • The devices can have two possibilities: A. Built in excitation B. External excitation. In case A the signal generator in the MSA system can be used for giving excitation upto 10 v. Users are encouraged to prepare samples for option A preferably to have better results. In case B, a piezo actuator available in the lab can be used upto 10 MHz frequency. However amplitudes in this case would be very low.
  • Any query related to your analysis can be emailed to gandhi [at] iitb [dot] ac [dot] in
