Abstract

See full text

Methods of manufacturing a MEMS assembly having a shutter or mirror driven by an actuator. The MEMS assembly can be formed by grooving a substrate, forming a displaceable member and electrode actuators on the substrate, and joining to a supporting base. Alternatively, the mirror core and the electrode actuators can be formed on separate substrates and thereafter be joined. A MEMS actuator which moves the member in a direction perpendicular to the MEMS actuator's own plane has interlaced internal ridges. When voltage is applied to the ridges, the actuator's upper and lower substrates move together.
