In this study, the design of a novel optical sensor that comprises surface plasmon resonance sensing chip and zinc oxide nano-film was proposed for the detection of nitric oxide gas. The electrical and optical properties of zinc oxide film vary in the presence of nitric oxide. This effect was utilized to prepare biochemical sensors with transduction based on surface plasmon resonance. Due to the refractive index of the transparent zinc oxide film that was deposited on the gold film, however, changes will be observed in the surface plasmon resonance spectra. For this reason, the thickness of zinc oxide film will be investigated and determined in this study. The interaction of nitric oxide with a 20 nm zinc oxide layer on gold leads to the shift of the resonance angle. The analysis on the reflectance intensity of light demonstrates that such effect is caused by the variation of conductivity and permittivity of zinc oxide film. Finally, a shift in surface plasmon resonance angle was measured in 25 ppm nitric oxide at 180C and a calibration curve of nitride oxide concentration versus response intensity was successfully obtained in the range of 250 to 1000 ppm nitric oxide at lower temperature of 150C. Moreover, these effects are quasi-reversible.

It has been observed in photoelectric devices that stresses and strains can cause inhomogeneous distribution of the refractive index which affects their performance. The purpose of this paper is to study the stress effect on the behavior of optical waveguide sensor containing a dielectric film sandwiched between a linear substrate and a nonlinear cladding. The cladding refractive index profile is assumed to have Kerr like intensity dependence. The effective refractive indices and mode shapes of the optical waveguide sensor subject to different stress states are calculated analytically. The effect of such variation on the light intensity and implications on the sensor sensitivity are investigated. It is found that stress can affect the optical sensitivity performance.

The paper describes the operation of a high-precision wide scale three-dimensional nanopositioning and nanomeasuring machine (NPM-Machine) having a resolution of 0,1 nm over the positioning and measuring range of 25 mm × 25 mm × 5 mm. The NPM-Machine has been developed by the Technische Universität Ilmenau and manufactured by the SIOS Meßtechnik GmbH Ilmenau. The machines are operating successfully in several German and foreign research institutes including the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). The integration of several, optical and tactile probe systems and scanning force microscopes makes the NPM-Machine suitable for various tasks, such as large-area scanning probe microscopy, mask and water inspection, circuit testing as well as measuring optical and mechanical precision work pieces such as micro lens arrays, concave lenses, mm-step height standards.

In the present paper, an interferometer is presented which - in contrast to all other types of interferometers - contains only plane mirrors used as reflectors. The interference beam passes through a diaphragm and is then divided again for generating the quadrature signals. During the measurement, the plane measuring mirror can tilt at an angle which depends on the diameter of the diaphragm without influencing the phase position of the quadrature signals. Measuring errors just as further characteristic features of the plane mirror interferometer are described.

For control applications aiming accurate positioning and path tracking friction modelling and compensation can be very important, especially when working with small displacements as usual in nano technologies. The paper at hand describes friction identification and friction model application for a linear high-precision ball bearing guide driven by a voice coil actuator and using high-resolution position measurement equipment. After noting some friction models the characteristics of friction on nanometer scale are investigated with several experiments. At last some remarks on control design are given.

We investigated a method of solid-phase epitaxy (SPE) using low-vacuum, low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) equipment without the load lock chamber that is usually used for the Si LSI process. This is a new method of clean surface formation in which the Si substrate is heated after seed formation in an atmosphere of SiH4 gas. Using this method, an L-SPE length of 4 mu m was obtained. The reason for the success of this method appears to be that the seed surface cleaned by HF dipping is preserved by the SiH4 gas. To evaluate the quality of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) layer formed by this method, a MOSFET and a PN diode were experimentally produced. The MOSFET exhibited normal transistor action, which confirmed that the SOI layer had satisfactory quality without any problem in manufacturing the MOSFET. However, it was found that the n value of the forward direction current characteristic of the PN diode was 1.156 and that the SOI layer had more recombination centers than the Si substrate (n = 1.050).

In a shear horizontal surface acoustic wave (SH-SAW) propagating through a piezoelectric crystal, shear wave and piezoelectric potential due to piezoelectric effect are combined. SH-SAW can be useful for chemical sensing in the liquid phase. When the load liquid and propagation surface are in contact, the change in the electrical property of the liquid can be detected due to the acoustoelectric interaction. This paper describes a new type of acoustoelectric biosensor with an enzyme membrane on the SH-SAW propagating plane for detecting pH change in liquid and reports that the SH-SAW enzyme sensor with urease is highly sensitive in detecting urea. In addition, this paper describes the detection limit, aging characteristic, and high sensitivity of the detector.
