Background technology
Method for electrochemical machining based on little/nano electrode is after electrochemistry scanning probe microscopy (ECSPM) and scan-type electrochemical microscope technical developments such as (SECM); The effective tool that can on micron and nanoscale, process that people propose; This type technology can also be carried out the original position field imaging in the surface micromachined while, thereby in little processing mechanism of electrochemistry and Mechanism Study, occupies extremely important status.This respect research at present comprises the etching processing method based on SECM (scan-type electrochemical microscope) that Bard seminar and Heinze seminar propose; The processing method of the ECSTM (electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy) that Kolb seminar proposes; The ultrashort potential pulse method that Schuster seminar proposes, and Tian Zhaowu seminar of Xiamen University proposes constraint etch layer technology etc.The common ground of these methods is to utilize the electrode of micron or nanoscale as working electrode, through on working electrode, applying electrode potential, makes that the generation electrochemical process is induced in the part on substrate or the workpiece, thereby is implemented in the electrochemistry processing on the workpiece.Development along with electrochemical techniques; Illumination, heating, mechanical oscillation etc. add parameter and have been applied in the electrochemical process; Wherein temperature is important factor in order in the electrochemical reaction, and it can influence the electrode potential of material in the mass transfer rate of electrode surface, chemical reaction rate, redox reaction to a great extent.Generally, the researcher is the temperature that changes electrolyte through instrument and equipments such as constant temperature water baths, and the process that this method changes temperature slowly and can influence the current potential of reference electrode; In addition when research system is organic solution system or ionic liquid, the aggravation that evaporates, this can damage health and contaminated environment.Freyland etc. have developed the high temperature PSTM, and he has sealed liquid chamber earlier and then molten salt system and probe is carried out integral body and heat up, but such system price is high and and be inconvenient to use.
In recent years, people have been developed a series of only to microelectrode or close on the method that the solution thin layer of microelectrode heats, and this has comprised light beam heating, radio frequency heating, microwave heating method, high-frequency ac electrical heating method.Compare other heating means, the system of high-frequency ac electrical method is simple, the temperature of ability quick adjustment electrode.Grundler has designed the working electrode of symmetrical structure in nineteen ninety-five; The input that working electrode is connected electrochemical workstation is received the mid point of electrode; Adopt high-frequency alternating current that thread microelectrode is directly heated, this design has been eliminated the heating current of high-frequency alternating current to detecting the interference of electrochemical signals.Baranski in 2002 substitutes the alternating current of 100kHz in the past with frequency up to the electric current of 100kHz-2MHz, and the heated filament electrode technology is applied to common microdisk electrode, develops the heating new method that can be applicable to microdisk electrode.Because the solution around the electrode has higher resistance than electrode self material, heating current has produced Joule heat on the microcell solution around electrode.The heating of this method to as if electrode the microcell solution rather than the electrode itself that close on, so electrode is just passable with microelectrode.The principle of Baranski method is that near the microcell solution the microelectrode is heated in addition; The high-frequency ac voltage that applies is at very big solution resistance and carries out pro rata distribution on small electrode/interface resistance very much; The electric frequency of increasing exchanges can make the magnitude of voltage that on solution resistance, distributes increase, thereby reduces the electrochemical process influence of alternating current to electrode/solution interface.
