This paper mvestlgates the elcctrostatlc dnve and sense of polynhcon resonators parallel to the substrate, using an mterdlgtated capacitor (electrostatic comb) Three expenmental methods are used nucroscoplc observation mth contmuous or stroboscopic iummatlon, capacltlve sensing using an amphtude-modulation technique and SEM observation The mtnnslc quality factor of the phosphorus-doped low-pres...
متن کاملComprehensive Static Characterization of Vertical Electrostatically Actuated Polysilicon Beams
Abstract The entire process of calibrating an electromechanical simulator – identifying relevant parameters, designing and measuring test structures, extracting parameters using detailed electromechanical simulations, and extrapolating the behavior of an actual device – is presented. The simulation model for electrostatically actuated beams is calibrated to a wide range of electrical and optica...
متن کاملElectrostatically Driven Nanoballoon Actuator.
We demonstrate an inflatable nanoballoon actuator based on geometrical transitions between the inflated (cylindrical) and collapsed (flattened) forms of a carbon nanotube. In situ transmission electron microscopy experiments employing a nanoelectromechanical manipulator show that a collapsed carbon nanotube can be reinflated by electrically charging the nanotube, thus realizing an electrostatic...
متن کاملElectrostatically Driven Microgripper
In this work we report on microactuators and microgrippers fabricated from SOI (Silicon On Insulator) wafers by a surface and bulk micromachining fabrication technology. The main advantages of this technology are: a) large thickness of the devices (10 μm up to 40 μm) resulting in devices which are stable against disturbing forces perpendicular (z-direction) to the ground plate. b) the small num...
متن کاملLaterally Driven Polysilicon Resonant Microstructures
Interdigitated finger (comb) structures are demonstrated to be effective for exciting electrostatically the resonance of polysilicon microstructures parallel to the plane of the substrate. Linear plates suspended by a folded-cantilever truss and torsional plates suspended by spiral and serpentine springs are fabricated from a 2/~m-thick phosphorus-doped low-pressure chemical-vapordeposited (LPC...
