摘要
This paper describes the behaviour of electrostatically deflectable polysilicon torsional micromirrors. The electrostatic behaviour is computed by coupling of mechanical and electrostatic calculations using the FEM program ANSYS. Dynamic deflection measurements on a realized micromirror confirm the results of the simulation. In addition, the dynamic damping behaviour of a polysilicon torsional micromirror is investigated. The pressure dependence of the operation of micromirrors is measured and a comparison with the theory of gas damping is presented. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
