A bi-directional electrothermal electromagnetic actuator [PDF]
17th IEEE International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems. Maastricht MEMS 2004 Technical Digest, 2004 A bi-directional microactuator powered by the combination of electrothermal and electromagnetic forces is successfully demonstrated using both the Poly-MUMPs surface micromachining process and a 50 /spl mu/m SOI process. High output force has been measured from fabricated actuators in both DC and AC operations at non-resonant frequencies.
