Micro torsion mirror actuated by compound electrostatic driving structure
چکیده انگلیسی
We report on a novel micro torsion mirror actuated by a compound electrostatic driving structure. The compound driving structure is made up of a planar plate drive and a vertical comb drive. The device is fabricated in SOI substrate by using a bulk-and-surface mixed silicon micromachining process. As demonstrated by experiment, the novel driving structure can actuate the mirror to achieve large-range continuous rotation as well as spontaneous 90° rotation induced by the pull-in effect in a voltage control fashion. The continuous rotating range of the micro torsion mirror is increased to about 46° at an increased threshold voltage. The measured threshold voltage ranges of the mirrors with torsion springs of 1 μm and 0.5 μm in thickness are 390-410 V and 140-160 V, respectively. Theoretical modeling is carried out to compare with the experiment. The optical insertion loss has also been measured to be −1.98 dB when the mirrors serve as digital optical switches in a 2 × 2 array form.
