Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of traveling wave motors, in particular to a lithium niobate thin film MEMS traveling wave motor design structure and a preparation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The MEMS piezoelectric plane traveling wave resonator is a kind of piezoelectric resonator, which is based on a sheet-shaped piezoelectric material with small thickness and is processed through a MEMS process.

[0003] In operation, a fixed phase difference of 90° alternating signal is input to the driving electrode area at different positions on the surface, two columns of plane standing waves with a phase difference of 90° are excited, and a column of plane traveling waves can be formed by superposition. The traveling waves drive the particles on the surface to make elliptical motion, and drive the surface load through friction, thereby outputting torque to the outside, thereby realizing the driving function of the micro motor. Such devices are also called MEMS piezoelectric plane drivers. The traveling waves excited by the piezoelectric plane traveling wave resonator form a periodic distribution of protrusions on the surface, and the protrusions propagate forward along a fixed direction like waves, and drive the load to move in a certain direction through friction. The height of the protrusion is the amplitude of the traveling wave, and the periodic distribution of the protrusion is the mode of the traveling wave. When the piezoelectric plane traveling wave resonator encounters environmental changes or load changes, the mechanical stiffness of the physical structure may change, thereby changing the resonant frequency of the physical structure. If the resonant frequency of the plane traveling wave resonator changes while the frequency of the input driving signal remains unchanged, the amplitude of the excited traveling wave may decrease or the traveling wave mode may be incomplete, thereby reducing the output force, reliability and stability of the driver. At present, the polarization intensity of the piezoelectric film of the mainstream MEMS traveling wave micro motor decays for a long time, and since the sputtering method is used for growth, it can only be limited to a thickness of <5 microns, and the driving voltage and output performance are difficult to improve.
