A contact-type area-varying capacitive displacement sensor, or CLECDiS, can measure displacements over millimeter ranges with nanometer resolution. However, a small changes in the contact condition due to the surface profile or friction, which are inherent characteristics of contact-type sensors, lead to significant distortion of the output signal. Therefore, ensuring reliable contact conditions during CLECDiS measurements is the most important area to be improved in their actual use. Herein,

The manufactured instrument enables a CLECDiS to be used in an ultraprecise positioning system with improved reliability. § 이 논문은 2011 년도 대한기계학회 마이크로/나노공학 부문 춘계학술대회(2011. 5. 26.-27., BEXCO) 발표논문임 † Corresponding Author, wkmoon@postech.ac.kr
