Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device in the technical field of micro-electro-mechanical systems, in particular to a U+V-type flexible composite beam electrothermal micro-driver. Background technique [0002] The micro-actuator is the key component to realize the micro-drive function in the micro-electromechanical system (MEMS). The indicators such as the size of the driving displacement / force, the driving efficiency and the reliability of the action determine the success or failure of the system. It has become a research topic at home and abroad in recent years. one of the hotspots. According to different energy supply methods, micro-actuators are generally divided into electrostatic type, electromagnetic type, piezoelectric type, electric heating type, etc. Electrostatic and electromagnetic microactuators must operate at resonance or high voltage to achieve large displacements, and they also generate very small forces. In comparison, piezoelectric and ...

Problems solved by technology

However, this out-of-plane driven electrothermal driver has the following significant disadvantages: 1. The residual stress in the process makes the end of the structure warp when it is finally released and suspended, which cannot keep the cantilever structure straight; 2. Due to There is a large difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the double-layer membrane materials. When the driving displacement is generated, due to the thermal mismatch between the two, the bonding force between them is poor and it is easy to fall off; 3. Because only Using ...
