摘要: The integration of VO2 thin films in a MEMS actuator device is presented. structural phase transition was induced electro-thermally by resistive heaters monolithically integrated the actuator. drastic mechanical displacements generated large stress during film have been characterized for static and time-dependent current pulses to heater, air vacuum environments. A comprehensive simplified finite element model developed validated with experimental data. It found that cut-off frequency 300 μm-long VO2-based operated (f3dB=29 Hz) mostly limited conductive heat loss through anchor, whereas convection losses were more dominant (f3dB=541 Hz). be strongly dependent on dimensions cantilever when but far less vacuum.
