Abstract:Actuators are the key components that produce the mechanical output and perform physical functions of particular systems. Electrostatic actuators are widely used in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) applications for their combining versatility and simple technology. In this thesis, an electrostatic microactuator fabricated on silicon-on-glass (SOG) is studied. The electrostatic microactuator utilizes a vertical configuration of comb-drive working plane to the mounting plane of driving components, which ar… Show more
