Abstract
This paper reports the design and fabrication of a microelectro-mechanical-system (MEMS)-based electrostatic angular microactuator for a dual-stage servo. We propose a new driving scheme that uses the vector sum of the force generated by parallel plate and comb-finger. To maximize the driving moment, the moving and fixed electrodes are arranged to make the driving force perpendicular to the rotating moment of arm. We designed a 2-mm diameter microactuator that can position the pico-slider over ± 1 μm stroke using under 18 volts with a 1 kHz flexural natural frequency for a 2 kHz fine-tracking servo.
