Embodiment 1

[0030] from figure 1 It can be seen that the self-cleaning comb driver in this embodiment mainly includes a closed casing 1 , a drive comb 2 , a silicon substrate 6 and an adsorption electrode 3 . The driving comb 2 and the adsorption electrode 3 are arranged on the silicon substrate 6 and located inside the closed casing 1. The closed casing 1 provides a closed working space for the comb driver to isolate the interference from the external space; the driving comb 2 drives the MEMS device to work, and the adsorption Electrode 3 is used to adsorb particles in the closed enclosure.

[0031] from figure 2 It can be seen that the driving comb 2 includes a static comb and its anchor point 21, a moving comb 22, a movable mass 24 connected to the moving comb 22, a movable beam supporting the movement of the movable mass 24 and its supporting anchor. Point 23. The pair of movable and static combs is used to drive the mass block 24 to move along a certain direction of the movable b...

Embodiment 2

[0035] The shape of the two electrodes in the adsorption electrode electrode pair can be simple linear, wave linear, broken line, or staggered teeth, etc., from image 3 It can be seen that the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the adsorption electrode 3 in this embodiment includes two pairs of electrodes, and each pair of electrode pairs is a staggered tooth type (comb type), and the third electrode 331 is connected to the fourth electrode pair. The electrode 341, the fifth electrode 332, and the sixth electrode 342 are respectively used as two pairs of adsorption electrodes, and are arranged near the dynamic and static comb pairs of the comb driver to clean the particles. The toothed electrodes can increase the overlapping length of the two electrodes and increase the adsorption The effective adsorption area of ​​the electrode improves the adsorption effect on particulate pollutants.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and relates to a comb driver, in particular to a comb driver with a self-cleaning function. The driver includes a drive comb and an adsorption electrode disposed on a silicon substrate, wherein the adsorption electrode comprises at least one pair of electrodes, one electrode being grounded and the other electrode being connected to a positive or negative level signal; The adsorption electrode and the driving comb teeth are separated by an insulating groove, and the adsorption electrode and the driving comb teeth are both located inside the enclosed housing. The problem of low reliability of the comb drive due to the deposition of particles on the drive comb is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and relates to a comb driver, in particular to a comb driver with a self-cleaning function. Background technique [0002] The electrostatic comb driver has a simple structure, high energy density, low power consumption, and the process is easy to integrate with the IC process. It is a commonly used driving form in the MEMS structure. widely used in. [0003] However, the gap between the dynamic and static comb teeth of the electrostatic comb driver is very small, generally at the micron level, and the comb electrode must be powered on during the working process of the driver. After power is applied, the comb teeth are very easy to absorb particles in the working environment, eventually causing short-circuit failure. . Although the electrostatic comb driver device generally needs to be packaged and sealed for use, due to the limitations of the packaging environment, packaging...
