SENSING MECHANISMS
Piezoelectric sensing
Thermo mechanical sensin
The AFM consists of a micro scale cantilever with a sharp tip (probe) at its end that is used to scan the specimen surface
Typically silicon or silicon nitride
Tip radius of curvature of the order of nanometers.
ADVANTAGES
1. Ultra high areal storage densities ranging from 1 Tbit/in2 to 2.7 Tbit/in2
2. Small form factor than any prevalent technologies.
3. The cantilevers operating in parallel provide high data rate comparable to any of prevalent technologies.
4. With only nanoscopic area of movement required, it features low seek time.
5. Low power consumption than the magnetic storage.
6. Comparatively lighter to magnetic hard disks.
Proposed APPLICATIONS
Nanodrives
- These are storage devices with gigabyte capacity having a very small form factor in the range of millimeters or centimeters and low power consumption. Such Nanodrives can be integrated into watches, cellular tele-phones, laptops, etc.
High capacity Hard drives
- The millipede technology proposes High capacity, yet lighter, cheaper and less power consuming hard disks for personal computers.
CONCLUSION
Every new technology introduced in the field of memory and storage technology has led to revolutionary changes in the field and those associated with it.
Example, the advent of the FLASHDRIVES
4 Times more storage
~ 25 DVD’s or 25 million pages postage stamp sized surface
Could enable 100 Gb of storage on a cell phone
Millipede uses thousands of tiny sharp points to punch holes into a thin plastic film
Nanotechnology version of 19th century punch card data processing technology
Can be made with existing manufacturing technique
The advent that Millipede technology can bring about is something we can only dream about.
