Design of Large Deflection Electrostatic Actuators
Electrostatic, comb-drive actuators have been designed for applications requiring displacements of up to 150 μm in less than 1 msec. A nonlinear model of the actuator relates the resonant frequency and the maximum stable deflection to the actuator dimensions. A suite of experiments that were carried out on DRIE, single-crystal silicon, comb-drive actuators confirm the validity of the model. Fou...
متن کاملDesign considerations for negative Poisson ratio structures under large deflection for MEMS applications
Negative Poisson ratio (NPR) materials based on a re-entrant honeycomb structure expand in the direction perpendicular to an externally exerted tension. This feature makes NPR structures attractive for use in microsensors and actuators as versatile motion transformers. When implemented in microdevices, where slender and flexible micromachined elements are widely used, the NPR material can toler...
متن کاملRapid fabrication and characterization of MEMS Parylene C bellows for large deflection applications
We present a rapid, high-yield fabrication process for Parylene C microbellows for large deflection applications and their characterization. Bellows having different convolution number, wall thickness, inner diameter and outer diameter and layer height were fabricated using a lost wax-like process. The effect of design parameters on overall bellows performance was evaluated through load–deflect...
متن کاملAn out-of-plane linear motion measurement system based on optical beam deflection
Measurement of out-of-plane linear motion with high precision and bandwidth is indispensable for development of precision motion stages and for dynamic characterization of mechanical structures. This paper presents an optical beam deflection (OBD) based system for measurement of out-of-plane linear motion for fully reflective samples. The system also achieves nearly zero cross-sensitivity to an...
متن کاملPost Fabrication Processing of Foundry MEMS Structures Exhibiting Large, Out-of-Plane Deflections
This research effort is focused on the development of large angle, out-of-plane bimorph MEMS micromirrors fabricated in the PolyMUMPs foundry process. Based on design constraints of the PolyMUMPs process, current designs fabricated do not meet the requirements to enable large angle optical steering. Through Comsol modeling and simulation, several post-processing techniques were discovered that ...
