The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) finds widespread applications as a tool for nano-scale characterization studies and atomic manipulation.Here, we propose the design of a miniaturized AFM scan head for 3-axis nano-positioning.The scan head uses parallelogram-based flexures for amplifying displacements in-plane and a bridge-type displacement amplifier for out-of-plane positioning and achieves a displacement range of ±5 μm along X-, Y- and Z-axes.Subsequently, a lumped parameter model has been obtained for analysing the quasi-static and dynamic characteristics of the different subsystems of the positioner.A comparison of the analytical expressions for the displacement gain and eigen frequencies with Finite Element (FE) analysis revealed match to within 4.The bandwidth along Z-axis is about 5 kHz, which is much larger than that of a conventional AFM scan head.Finally, a feedback control system has been designed to achieve position control using model inversion.
