Fast-Response Electrostatic Actuator Based on Nano-Gap
نویسندگان
چکیده
The possibility of constructing new high-performance electrostatic fast actuators based on energy transformation in nanometer gaps is considered. The construction and the properties of the operation of such devices as well as their typical parameters are described. The drives are based on ferroelectrics with high values of dielectric permittivity (above 1000). They can be constructed using microelectronic technology. It is demonstrated that the actuators are capable of maintaining forces with a specific density up to 106 N/m2 and up to 100–1000 N in real devices for 10–100 μs. Experimental research results of such actuators are presented.

متن کاملTheoretical analysis of the effect of static charges in silicon-based dielectric thin films on micro- to nanoscale electrostatic actuation
Silicon-based dielectric thin films such as SiO2 and Si3N4 are commonly used as insulation layers in electrostatic microactuators to protect the device from short circuiting if the electrodes are in contact. However, dielectric films can store bulk and/or surface static charges. In this paper, the effect that these static charges have on the force applied by an electrostatic actuator is analyze...
