Abstract

A high-fill factor micro-mirror for two-axis operation has been designed, analyzed, and fabricated by using electroplated copper and thick photoresist sacrificial mold. The fabricated mirror has crossbar springs under the mirror plate for two-axis operation in order to achieve a high-fill factor. The maximum actuation angle before pull-in in the fabricated device has been measured as 2.65° at 244V. This shows good agreement with analysis and simulation results. The radius of curvature and RMS surface roughness of the mirror plate have been measured as 3.8cm and 12nm, respectively.
