Abstract

We report the design, fabrication and operation of a tunable microlens that can perform large vertical scans at low actuation voltages. Photoresist reflow technique was used to form a 210 /spl mu/m diameter microlens on a lens holder that is integrated with a large-vertical-displacement (LVD) microactuator. The lens holder is fabricated using a unique DRIE CMOS-MEMS process. A maximum vertical displacement of 280 /spl mu/m is achieved with a 700 /spl mu/m-by-320 /spl mu/m LVD device at an actuation voltage of 10 V. The microlens has a focal length of 188 /spl mu/m, a numerical aperture of 0.35, and a resonant frequency of about 1 kHz.
