Abstract

ABSTRACTThin film shape memory alloy has been integrated with silicon in a new actuation mechanism for micro-electro-mechanical systems. This paper compares nickel-titanium film with other actuators, describes recent results of chemical milling processes developed to fabricate shape memory alloy micro-actuators in silicon, and describes simple actuation mechanisms which have been fabricated and tested.
