摘要：
A new surface micromachining process for surface tension powered self-assembly of silicon-based microstructures is described. Mechanical parts are formed from bonded silicon-on-insulator material and rotated out-of-plane by melting photoresist pads at low temperature. Simple mechanisms that allow accurate control of the final angle are introduced and used to construct fixed 45 degrees mirrors and scanning mirror assemblies. [435].
