Fabrication of Integrated Nebulizer Nozzle Plate Utlizing Micro-molding for FD- ESI Mass Spectrometry

Chang, Chien-chung 01 July 2005 (has links)
This study presents a novel concept to integrated nebulizer nozzle plate for FD-ESI (Fused-droplet Electrospary Ionization Mass Spectrometry) using modified LIGA process. This fabrication technique can reduce the production cost of current nozzle plate. It comprises of multi-exposure and single develop (MESD) process, the extra-hard Ni-Co (Nickel-Cobalt) electroforming and thin-wall plastic microinjection molding. The template of nozzle plate is patterned using dry film and MESD process. Later, the template is transferred into metal Ni-Co mold by electroplating. In this study, the technique of extra-hard Ni-Co alloy electroplating process with Hardness of Vickers over (HV) 550 is developed. Then with the stiffness of Ni-Co mold, it can withstand high injection speed. Thin-wall microinjection molding process with short cycle time to fabricate nozzle plate can be finished. Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is used for thin-wall microinjection molding process. In order to make efficiently atomization, we used ANSYS to optimize PZT actuator. Besides, the work of nebulizer with FD-ESI was demonstrated in this study. a novel design of nozzle plate.
