Projet4 - Master2 CSER 2015

The MULTISS project (MULTiscale Interferometric Scanning Stage) aims to develop nanopositionning
stages to increase the ranges of existing microscopy or lithography applications.
One of the challenges in nanotechnology is to design a system that combines long range and high
resolution for positioning.
However, in 2010, the LISV (Laboratoire d’Ingénierie des Systèmes de Versailles) succeeded in
obtaining a millimeter long AFM image (Atomic Force Microscopy). In this context, the aim of my
Master Thesis was to develop an embedded system to store the position of the stage @20kHz.
My first task was to identify the most suitable communication protocol available on the STM32F3.
Based on the results of the previous task, the type of memory was chosen.
A shield for the STM32F3 was then designed and produced. It includes a FLASH memory module and
the communication layer via SPI.
A library, written in C, allows the user to easily communicate with the FLASH memory.
