Inclination Angle Effect on Surface of Copper in Biomachining

Nowadays micro fabrication technology is very varied and being continuously developed. One of them uses bacteria as tools that known as biomachining. Acidithiobacillus ferooxidans is a one of bacteria which can do metal removal as a source of energy. The previous research has proven the ability of Acidithiobacillus ferooxidans for material removal process. In this research, biomachining process was added by angle of inclination parameter to know the effect on copper surface profile and roughness. This method was used to get profile shape result of multi-axis in biomachining. Workpieces were patterned by photolithography method and put in the bacterial culture medium, which was inclined 20° and 30° on inclinator. Profile shape and the surface roughness measurement data were taken by SURFCOM machine. The results of this research showed that by inclining 20° and 30° of biomachining sample produced different profile shapes and surface roughness.
