Design and fabrication of a magnetic bi-stable electromagnetic MEMS relay
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the principles, design, fabrication and performance of a new type of electromagnetic bistable MEMS relay. The microdevice is operated by a wiggling microactuator, which is symmetrically assembled with two integrated planar windings and one permanent rotor in the form of sandwich with coaxial sustained gaps between each other. The micromachined rotor moves to-and-fro around the axis and operates the joined brush to open or close external circuit. This hybrid MEMS relay has been provided with fast response and latching function owing to the special design. The response time is about 0.3ms and the maximum load current is 2A. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملLow-Frequency, Low-G MEMS Piezoelectric Energy Harvester
This paper reports the design, modeling and fabrication of a novel MEMS device for low-frequency, low-g vibration energy harvesting. The new design is based on bi-stable buckled beam structure. To implement the design at MEMS scale, we further proposed to employ residual stress in micro-fabricated thin films. With an electromechanical lumped model, the multi-layer beam could be designed to achi...
متن کاملتحلیل و طراحی تغییر دهنده فاز N - بیتی MEMS توزیع شده در باند Ka
Modern microwave and millimeter wave phased array antennas are attractive because of their ability to steer wave beams in space without physically moving the antenna element. A typical phased array antenna may have several thousand elements fed by a phase shifter for every antenna, which can steer the resulting array beam to different directions. Their low loss, low cost and lightweight phase s...
متن کاملFabrication and Characterization of a New MEMS Capacitive Microphone using Perforated Diaphragm
In this paper, a novel single-chip MEMS capacitive microphone is presented. The novelties of this method relies on the moveable aluminum (Al) diaphragm positioned over the backplate electrode, where the diaphragm includes a plurality of holes to allow the air in the gap between the electrode and diaphragm to escape and thus reduce acoustical damping in the microphone. Spin-on-glass (SOG) was us...
متن کاملFabrication of polyimide bi-stable diaphragms using oxide compressive stresses for the field of buckle MEMS
In this paper we develop vacuum-actuated polyimide bi-stable actuators using buckled diaphragms for applications in the field of MEMS. The fabrication process involves a single mask step and DRIE etch step to fabricate the buckled bi-stable diaphragms. Compressive stresses in a companion thermal oxide layer provide pre-stress in the polyimide mechanical films that initiates diaphragm buckling u...
