Abstract
We present arrays of electrostatically actuated piston-tip-tilt micromirrors realized using a surface micromachining 3-structural-layer polysilicon process. High fill factor, flat mirrors 120 lm in size have mechanical response in the order of 10 ls, with ±4 mechanical tip
and tilt and 5 lm piston continuous, controllable range under 110 V. The actuator design is based on four dual in-plane comb drives with 0.5 lm critical feature size and high aspect ratio. We show a modular approach to fabricate these arrays, allowing multiple array sizes
(642 and 2562 mirrors) and four different designs to be implemented in three DUV masks per lithography level.
優點:三軸維度,大位移,快速反應時間
缺點:需要較高的驅動電壓(110v)來驅動
