研究目的
To fabricate a 2D micromirror with large electromagnetic driving forces for application in LiDAR devices, focusing on embedded coil design to reduce resistance and increase driving force.
研究成果
The embedded coil design successfully provides larger driving forces and reduces inertial moment, enabling a 3 mm micromirror to achieve swing angles of ±23.6° horizontally and ±5.7° vertically under 5 V. The fabrication process, including stress management techniques, is feasible, and the design shows promise for LiDAR applications, with potential for further improvement by increasing coil depth.
研究不足
The fabrication process involves complex steps with potential stress issues due to thermal expansion coefficient mismatches and intrinsic stresses. The embedded coil design may reduce scanning frequency compared to convex designs, and power consumption is higher than electrostatic driving methods. Further optimization is needed for higher frequencies and reduced nonlinearity.
