The stresses in each film after the last coating were in tension except the Pt top electrode. The Pt bottom electrode shows an especially large tensile stress of approximately 1.3 GPa. The beam-scanners were then fabricated to,investigate the curving state of multilayer structure released from Si substrate. The curving states of beams are related to not only the stresses in each film but also the balance of flexural rigidity of each film. A beam without any curvature was obtained successfully by changing the thickness of each film. A large optical scanning angle of 40-degree was obtained at the first resonance frequency of 2.78 kHz for the fabricated straight beam-scanner.","PeriodicalId":285115,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMs","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131480323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We proposed and successfully demonstrated a simple method named Micro-Origami to make self-positioning micro-machined three-dimensional structures by using the strain in a pair of lattice-mismatched GaAs/InGaAs epitaxial layers grown on GaAs substrates. Micro-Origami is expected to become a viable fundamental technique for developing MOEMS devices with complex three-dimensional structures. However, the precision of the three-dimensional structures fabricated by Micro-Origami is supposed to be strongly affected by the fabrication process, because of the self-positioning mechanism. In this paper, we report on the fabrication of a free-standing plate and a retro-reflector, as examples of Micro-Origami devices, and discuss the design and fabrication precision.","PeriodicalId":285115,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMs","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130339862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, FEM simulation results using MEMCAD software are obtained for resonators with small air gaps. Finally, prototypes of silicon resonators are fabricated using SOI technology, and characterized under a precisely controlled vacuum chamber. In order to investigate both air cavity cases, optical excitation/detection is used. Good agreements are obtained with theory and simulations.","PeriodicalId":285115,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMs","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127506316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
