Because micro- and nanomechanical systems are continuously evolving, there is a need to leverage various fabrication technologies. A scanning electron microscope with a gallium focused ion beam, as well as a helium ion microscope, were used to integrate platinum-carbon (Pt-C) and tungsten-carbon (W-C) nanowire field emitters with microcantilevers, serving as deflection sensors. Pt-C and W-C nanocomponents were fabricated using an additive, direct-writing method - focused-electron-/ion-beam-induced deposition (FEBID/FIBID)[1,2]. After growth calibration, the field emission behavior was studied in situ inside a vacuum chamber. The deposited Pt-C and W-C materials were characterized using Kelvin probe force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. [1] T.
