    Abstract: An electrostatic bimorph actuator includes a cantilevered flexible bimorph arm that is secured and insulated at one end to a planar substrate. In an electrostatically activated state the bimorph arm is generally parallel to the planar substrate. In a relaxed state, residual stress in the bimorph arm causes its free end to extend out-of-plane from the planar substrate. The actuator includes a substrate electrode that is secured to and insulated from the substrate and positioned under and in alignment with the bimorph arm. An electrical potential difference applied between the bimorph arm and the substrate electrode imparts electrostatic attraction between the bimorph arm and the substrate electrode to activate the actuator. As an exemplary application in which such actuators could be used, a microelectrical mechanical optical display system is described.

    Abstract: This invention relates to the construction of microfabricated devices and, in particular, to types of microfabricated devices requiring thermal isolation from the substrates upon which they are built. This invention discloses vertical thermal isolators and methods of fabricating the vertical thermal isolators. Vertical thermal isolators offer an advantage over thermal isolators of the prior art, which were substantially horizontal in nature, in that less wafer real estate is required for the use of the vertical thermal isolators, thereby allowing a greater density per unit area of the microfabricated devices.

    Abstract: To provide nanotweezers and a nanomanipulator which allow great miniaturization of the component and are capable of gripping various types of nano-substances such as insulators, semiconductors and conductors and of gripping nano-substances of various shapes.
    Electrostatic nanotweezers 2 are characterized in that the nanotweezers 2 are comprised of a plurality of nanotubes whose base end portions are fastened to a holder 6 so that the nanotubes protrude from the holder 6, coating films which insulate and cover the surfaces of the nanotubes, and lead wires 10, 10 which are connected to two of the nanotubes 8, 9; and the tip ends of the two nanotubes are freely opened and closed by means of an electrostatic attractive force generated by applying a voltage across these lead wires. Furthermore, by way of forming a piezo-electric film 32 on the surface of the nanotube 9, and the tip ends of the nanotubes are freely opened and closed by expanding and contracting the piezo-electric film, thus allowing any desired nano-substances to be handled regardless of whether the nano-substances are insulators, semiconductors or conductors. Furthermore, if by way of designing three nanotubes so as to be freely opened and closed by an electrostatic system, nano-substances of various shapes such as spherical, rod-form, etc.
