Modeling of a High Force Density Fishbone Shaped Electrostatic Comb Drive Microactuator
This paper presents the design and evaluation of a high force density fishbone shaped electrostatic comb drive actuator. This comb drive actuator has a branched structure similar to a fishbone, which is intended to increase the capacitance of the electrodes and hence increase the electrostatic actuation force. Two-dimensional finite element analysis was used to simulate the motion of the fishbo...
متن کاملExtraction of Damping Coefficients of Comb Drive by Partitioning
The interaction between MEMS devices and their environmental fluid is a major design consideration. An efficient macro-model technique is developed in this work to study the impact of fluid damping coefficients for moving parts of MEMS. A comb-based accelerometer has been analyzed to demonstrate the methodology. A systemlevel model is created to analyze the device. Damping templates are exporte...
متن کاملA Comb-Drive Actuator Driven by Capacitively-Coupled-Power
This paper presents a new actuation mechanism to drive comb-drive actuators. An asymmetric configuration of the finger overlap was used to generate capacitive coupling for the actuation mechanism. When the driving voltages were applied on the stators, a voltage would be induced at the rotor due to the capacitive coupling. Then, an electrostatic force would be exerted onto the rotor due to the v...

متن کاملVertically supported two - directional comb drive ∗
Abstract A vertically supported comb drive with the feasibility of actuation in two perpendicular directions utilizing electrostatic force from interdigitated comb-shape electrodes has been demonstrated. The prototype microstructures are made of 2 μm thick polysilicon by a standard surface micromachining process. They are vertically lifted after the final sacrificial layer releasing process and...
