Abstract

See full text

A system and method reduce stiction while manipulating micro objects on a surface. The system and method employed a field generator configured to generate a driving force at a frequency and amplitude to at least partially overcome stiction between the micro objects and the surface. The field generator is further configured to generate a manipulation force to manipulate the micro objects on the surface in two dimensions. The manipulation force is spatially programmable.
