Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of MEMS biaxial micromirror technology, and particularly relates to a large-angle MEMS biaxial micromirror and its fabrication method. Background Technology

[0002] In modern communication technology, fiber optic communication plays a crucial role, and optical switches, as fundamental components in optical communication systems, are currently the most actively developed passive optoelectronic devices. Among various types of optical switches, electrostatically driven MEMS micromirrors (MEMS micromirrors) have advantages such as low crosstalk, fast switching speed, small size, and ease of large-scale integration, making them the mainstream optical switch in recent years. MEMS micromirrors are also widely used in digital displays and laser scanning. Based on the structural complexity of MEMS micromirrors, they can be divided into single-axis micromirrors, dual-axis micromirrors, and micromirror arrays. Dual-axis MEMS micromirrors, due to their ability to rotate in four directions across two dimensions within a plane, have wider applications. However, for vertically comb-driven dual-axis MEMS micromirrors, the vertical comb-driven structure is generally located around the mirror surface. The distances of the comb teeth from the central axis of the mirror surface differ between the two dimensions, resulting in different maximum deflection angles in the two dimensions, making it difficult to achieve equal maximum deflection angles across both axes.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN113820851A discloses a novel method for fabricating a biaxial vertical comb-tooth MEMS micromirror. It uses multiple silicon wafers to combine and finally obtain a biaxial micromirror. During the research process, the user found that there were risks in the fabrication of the first movable comb tooth using this method. Since the bonding area has requirements, it is difficult to guarantee the bonding if the bonding area is too small. At the same time, it uses multiple SOI wafers, which require multiple bonding processes, making the processing technology complex and the cost high. Summary of the Invention
