ABSTRACT The paper represents
the design and fabrication of an electrostatic micro actuator with
p+ Si cantilevers. The micro actuator consists of a plate suspended
by four p+ silicon cantilevers and an electrode on a glass substrate.
The p+ Si structure is fabricated by the boron diffusion process
and the anisotropic wet etch process. The cantilevers of the micro
actuator curl down because of the residual stress gradient in p+
silicon. When the electrostatic force is applied to the p+ cantilevers,
the vertical displacement of the plate can be achieved. The deflection
of the cantilever due to the residual stress gradient and the vertical
displacement by electrostatic force were calculated. The displacement
of the plate was measured with a laser displacement by electrostatic
force were calculated. The displacement of the plate was measured
with a laser displacement meter for various input voltages and frequencies.
The feasibility of the proposed micro actuator for the applications
to optical pickup devices or optical communication devices was confirmed
by the experiments.
