Fabrication of concave silicon micro-mirrors.
We have fabricated spherical and cylindrical concave micro-mirrors in silicon with dimensions from 20 microm to 100 microm. The fabrication process involves standard photolithography followed by large area ion beam irradiation and electrochemical anodisation in a HF electrolyte. After thermal oxidation the silicon surface roughness is less than 2 nm. We also present a multilayer porous silicon ...
متن کاملPull-In Instability and Vibrations of a Beam Micro-Gyroscope
Gyroscopes are used as rotation rate sensors. Conventional gyroscopes are heavy and bulky, which creates important problems regarding their usage in different applications. Micro-gyroscopes have solved these problems due to their small size. The beam micro-gyroscope is one of the popular types of inertial sensors. Their small dimensions and low energy consumption are key reasons for their popul...
متن کاملComparison of Efficiency of Electrostatic Micro-actuators for Precise Positioning
Comparison of several types of electrostatic micro-actuators is carried out, particularly with respect to their resultant force effects. The continuous mathematical model of such actuators is mostly described by the Laplace equation. In this paper, its numerical solution is performed by a fully adaptive higher-order finite element method, using a code developed by the authors. The methodology i...
متن کاملTowards micro-assembly of hybrid MOEMS components on reconfigurable silicon free-space micro-optical bench
The 3D integration of hybrid chips is a viable approach for the micro-optical technologies to reduce the costs of assembly and packaging. In this paper a technology platform for the hybrid integration of MOEMS components on a reconfigurable free-space silicon micro-optical bench is presented. In this approach a desired optical component (e.g. micromirror, microlens) is integrated with removable...
متن کاملShaping Light: MOEMS Deformable Mirrors for Microscopes and Telescopes
Micromachined deformable mirrors (DMs) have enabled rapid advances in applications ranging from large telescope astronomy and free space laser communication to biological microscopy and retinal imaging over the past decade. In this talk I describe our efforts at Boston University and at Boston Micromachines Corporation to design, fabricate, and control MOEMS DMs for adaptive optics (AO) applica...
