In this context, the mechanical structures of the actuators with a suspended platform to carry the waveguide, are designed to house aluminum nitride (AlN) as the piezoelectric material for generating out-of-plane motion and a comb-drive, whose fixed and moveable fingers are positioned on the same layer for in-plane motion. Two distinct designs, i.e., a 2-DOF design with motions along the Z-and Y-axes and a 3-DOF design with motions along the Z-, Y-, and X-axes were fabricated and tested. Both designs include capacitive-based displacement sensors to track the motions in Z-and Y-axes. Experimental results at ±60 V indicate that 3 devices of each design give an average displacement of 3.16 ± \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$0.34~mu text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 and 0.63 ± \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$0.04~mu text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 in the Z-axis for the 2-DOF and 3-DOF designs, respectively.

In the X-axis, the 3-DOF design can produce total of 300 nm of displacement at ±100 V. The capacitance measurements were found to correlate well with the tracked displacement. Furthermore, simultaneous activation of more than one actuator could mitigate misalignment and align the platform with a fixed surface.

The deformation of the sensor caused by wind leads to eight capacitances variation, which can be applied to obtain the wind speed along the x, y, and z axes (vx, vy and vz). Consequently, the 3D wind speed and direction are calculated by the vector synthesis. The feasibility of this measurement principle was verified by simulation. Then, the sensor was fabricated consisting of two windward pillar, four electrode layers, and two supporting layers, which were produced by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with different Young’s modulus. Experiments demonstrated that the sensor can measure 3D wind speed and direction with the dynamic range of 0-23.9m/s. The average errors of wind speed measurement in XY, XZ and YZ planes are close to 0.58 m/s, 0.42 m/s, and 0.53 m/s, respectively, while the average errors of wind direction measurement are about 6.63°, 4.03°, and 5.65° respectively. Furthermore, temperature effect, as well as humidity effect, of the sensor was also investigated.

This research introduced a novel actuation structure, based on a spring made from conductive metallic glass with excellent mechanical properties. For the first time, two functional elements, an electromagnetic actuation element and a mechanical support structure, were successfully integrated into a single-layer spring, made of metallic glass. With this novel actuator, the performance of stroke and angle controllability is remarkably improved. The fabricated device can achieve a \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$418 ~mu text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 static stroke in upward direction. Furthermore, the tilting angles of the micromirror can be controlled with maximum accuracy of 0.05°/mA. The device is robust and has miniature dimensions, comparable or smaller, than existing electromagnetic micromirror dimensions published in literature.

Polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) is one of the most widely used materials for academia to prepare microfluidic test devices. This has also motivated the development of roll-to-roll imprinting towards the fabrication of PDMS-based devices at high volumes. The gas bubble entrapping during the replication process has remained an issue resulting in defects in the microstructure. Performing imprinting in vacuum is a well-known method to avoid bubbles but it has not been applied in roll-to-roll processing. In this work we demonstrated a reduced ambient pressure roll to roll imprinting process using PDMS silicone elastomer as imprint resist. We observed the reduction in the number of bubble-originated defects in individual micro-features from 100 % to < 1 % when the ambient pressure was reduced from 1 atm to 1/8 atm.

The electromagnetic actuator, which serves as an auxiliary component in nano-g MEMS accelerometers for improving the dynamic response, faces the challenges of process incompatibility, temperature sensitivity, and large form factor. Thereby, this paper proposes an area-changed capacitive method for both displacement transducing and force balance in a nano-g MEMS accelerometer, aiming to address those posed challenges and provide favourable performance. Thanks to the allowed large displacement range in the sensitive direction of the proposed device, the area-changed capacitive mechanism is able to be integrated with a highly-sensitive quasi-zero stiffness spring-mass structure. As a result, the fabricated force-balance MEMS accelerometer attains a calibrated self-noise of 1.3 ng/\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$surd $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000Hz, which is one of the most sensitive MEMS-based accelerometers reported to date. The settling time, on the other hand, is reduced to 0.5 s with the electrostatic closed-loop control featuring the proposed subject, compared to 15.7 s in the open-loop configuration. In addition, the critical acceleration input at the boundary of the “pull-in” is calculated as 5.4 g, which is adaptable to most geophysical applications. This work is of considerable potential in geophysical applications such as earthquake monitoring or gravity measurements, and promising a high-performance closed-loop MEMS accelerometer.
