摘要
An original large stepwise motion electrostatic microactuator for a wireless microrobot using a distributed Ciliary Motion System (CMS) [1] is presented. Coventorware(TM) cosolver simulations have shown x-displacement of 240 nm for one actuation step. Design of the antennas for inductive powering has been optimized in order to maximize the energy transfer. 24 mum gold electroplated hollow micro-coils have been fabricated on an epoxy substrate as receiver antennas. Q-factor of 29 at 13.56 MHz and induced voltage up to 100 V on a 1 kOmega load has been obtained. Remote actuation of an array of actuators supporting a 0.25 mm(2)/380 mum-thick piece of silicon has been successfully demonstrated with a pull-in voltage of 80 V.
