Abstract

This paper presents an experimental investigation of ductile cutting of silicon by using a diamond tool with a negative rake angle. A diamond cutting tool with a zero rake angle is inclined to form a negative rake angle for a better performance in ductile cutting. A high-sensitivity force sensor is integrated with the tool holder for detection of the tool-sample contact and monitoring the thrust force in the cutting process. The unavoidable sample tilt was probed by using the force sensor integrated diamond tool as a stylus, so that microstructures can be directly fabricated along the tilted workpiece. With accurate tilt compensation, a microstructure array with a good uniformity was successfully fabricated on the silicon surface.
