The experiment of cutting mechanical properties of single crystal silicon surface in the micro-nanoscale is researched using nanoindenter and atomic force microscopy. The result of the experiment shows that: in the constant load, the impact of different scratching velocity for single crystal silicon surface scratch groove width and chip accumulation volume are not big; but the cutting force and friction coefficient are not increases with the scratching velocity increases; when the scratching speed is certain, the size of load has a greater impact on the cutting mechanical properties of single crystal silicon surface, with the increase of the load, the cutting force increases, but the cutting force is not linearly growth.

ABSTRACTWe have used atomic force microscopy (AFM) and friction force microscopy (FFM) techniques for microtribological studies including microscale friction, nanowear, nanoscratching and nanoindentation hardness measurements. The microscale friction studies on a gold ruler sample demonstrated that the local variation in friction correspond to a change of local surface slope, and this correlation is explained by a friction mechanism. Directionality effect is also observed as the sample was scanned in either direction. Nanoscratching, nanowear and nanoindentation hardness studies were performed on single-crystal silicon. Wear rates of single crystal silicon are approximately constant for various loads and test duration. Nanoindentation hardness studies show that AFM technique allows the hardness measurements of surface monolayers and ultra thin films in multilayered structures at very shallow depths and low loads. The AFM technique has also been shown to be useful for nanofabrication.
