Abstract
We have developed a process for multi-step sequential batch self-assembly of complex three-dimensional ferromagnetic micro-structures. The process uses the magnetic torque generated by an external magnetic field perpendicular to the substrate to lift hinged-structures. In our previous study, we found that a non-dimensional factor that depends on its shape determines the sensitivity of the micro hinged-structures to a magnetic field. This factor can be used as a criterion in designing a process for sequential batch self-assembly, because the factor indicates the differences in the sensitivity. In this study, we designed multi-step sequential assembly by using the non-dimensional factor. Four-step sequential batch assembly was demonstrated using this method.
