Accurate measurement of stiction and adhesion forces is crucial for developing miniaturized electronic devices, modern implants, new nano-based formulations, and quality assurance in manufacturing, particularly in the burgeoning Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) market.

With MEMS playing a vital role in smartphones, automotive sensors, and medical devices, precise control over stiction is essential. The imminent EU ban on fluorocarbons intensifies the need for alternative coatings to reduce stiction, necessitating reliable stiction measurement tools. Our proposed ULTRAFORCE sensor offers a universal solution, precisely measuring adhesion, stiction, bioadhesion, and other quantities across various domains. Its advantages over existing alternatives include a broader force range, diverse probes, robustness, extended probe head lifespan, and advanced analytical algorithms, promising to elevate the quality and reliability of diverse applications.
