Abstract
This paper describes binding force measurement using force-sensing piezoresistive cantilevers, to evaluate binding between micro-scale SiO 2 flat surfaces in an HCl solution for fluidic micro-self-assembly. We measured binding force between a cylindrical microparticle and a substrate by pushing the particle with the cantilever. We successfully measured the binding force in nano-newton order caused by van der Waals' interaction, and revealed that the phenomenon observed in colloid particles occurred similarly in micro-scale flat surfaces.
