    摘要: A surface micromachined micromagnetic actuator is provided with a flap capable of achieving large deflections above 100 microns using magnetic force as the actuating force. The flap is coupled by one or more beams to a substrate and is cantilevered over the substrate. A Permalloy layer or a magnetic coil is disposed on the flap such that when the flap is placed in a magnetic field, it can be caused to selectively interact and rotate out of the plane of the magnetic actuator. The cantilevered flap is released from the underlying substrate by etching out an underlying sacrificial layer disposed between the flap and the substrate. The etched out and now cantilevered flap is magnetically actuated to maintain it out of contact with the substrate while the just etched device is dried in order to obtain high release yields.

    摘要: A micromachined hot-wire anemometer having fast response times and higher sensitivities than conventional hot-wire anemometers is provided by micromachining doped polysilicon wires carried on silicon supports cantilevered from a substrate including one or more insulating layers disposed between said substrate and supports. The micromachined polysilicon hot-wire anemometer is fabricated using surface micromachining techniques.A shear stress sensor is micromachined to define a thin diaphragm over a cavity defined in a substrate underlying the diaphragm. The cavity is evacuated, sealed, and a thermistor disposed over the diaphragm. The thermistor is thus thermally insulated from the substrate and provides a low profile shear stress sensor for measuring flow rates in boundary layers above a flow surface.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus implementing a technique for electrostatically transporting a particle through a medium. In general, one implementation includes a substrate; a first insulation layer formed on the substrate; a plurality of electrodes arranged in a sequence on the insulation layer, where the electrodes are divided into a plurality of groups and the electrodes are arranged by group; a second insulation layer over at least one of the electrodes; and a phase shift circuit connected to the electrodes which supplies a voltage wave-form to each group of electrodes, where each voltage wave-form for each group is phase-shifted relative to the other phase-shifted wave-forms.
