Chaturvedi, V. (author), Vogel, J.G. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Nihtianova, S. (author)This paper presents an eddy-current sensor (ECS) interface intended for sub-nanometer (sub-nm) displacement sensing in hi-tech applications. The interface employs a 126-MHz excitation frequency to mitigate the skin effect, and achieve high resolution and stability. An efficient on-chip sensor offset compensation scheme is introduced which...journal article 2018

Chaturvedi, V. (author), Vogel, J.G. (author), Nihtianova, S. (author)The suppression efficiency of the correlated noise and drift of self-oscillating front-end circuit in a pseudo-differential eddy-current displacement sensor (ECDS) is investigated using COMSOL and MATLAB. The transfer characteristic of the sensor coil, excited at 200 MHz, is obtained through a FE model in COMSOL. The characteristic is linearized...journal article 2016

Hogervorst, R.P. (author)This thesis is a part of the CLEMPS (Closed Loop Embedded MEMS-based Precision Stage) project. Within this project a MEMS-stage should be positioned using a feedback (displacement) signal with 10-nm accuracy over a 100 ?m range. This thesis investigates if thermal sensing can be used as a reliable sensing mechanism within the CLEMPS project....master thesis 2010
