- Abstract
- A twisting-type micromirror that can be driven by two thermal bimorph actuators bending in opposite directions is designed from electro-thermo- mechanical theories and fabricated through a simple MEMS process. Each actuator consists of SiO2and gold thin-film layers. A simplified analytical model has been built to optimize the performance 3f micromirrors. Operation of the actuation system agrees well with predictions from theoretical models and simulations using a commercial code. Copyright © 2009 by ASME.
