Hello,

I have a few silicon micro cantilevers which I want to use as AFM probes (in an
Asylum MFP AFM). This means I would have to attach the cantilever onto a
cantilever holder, which in turn fits onto the AFM machine. However, unlike
standard cantilevers, these cantilevers have electrodes integrated onto the
cantilever itself. That means I need to somehow connect the electrodes to
external positive and ground voltages. This is the way I was planning to do it:
I will attach the cantilever onto a carrier chip; then wire bond the electrodes
from the cantilever onto the leads of the carrier chip and then attach the
carrier chip itself onto a custom AFM cantilever holder (which I will have to
design). The leads from the carrier chip will act as the electrodes (positive
and ground voltages). Is this solution viable? If so, how can I get hold (or
purchase)onn of a carrier chip? Otherwise, is there a better/easier method to do
it?

Thank you,
Ahmad Haider
