22 Electrostatic Force The energy stored at a given voltage is, U ( x, z) = 1 CV ε0ε r A = V 2 z The force between the plates in the vertical direction is, electrostatic vertical force between plates F e A F ( z) r z U ( x, z) = ε ε = = V z 2 1 z 1 2 = ε 1 0ε 2 2 r V A z 0 2 (negative z direction) 1 z z o force vs. distance is nonlinear metal dielectric air metal d The flexures can be modeled as cantilevers. For small deflections, a cantilever's restoring force is given by Hooke's law, F c = k d force vs. distance is linear where, k = flexure spring constant d = deflection distance 22
23 Restoring Force The flexure spring constant is given by, where, k = Ewt 3 L σ (1 2L 3 μ + cross-sectional spring constant E w t L σ = Young's Modulus = flexure width = flexure thickness = flexure length ) wt stress term (due to residual stress) = flexure material stress μ = flexure material Poisson's ratio The flexure spring constant is determined during device design and construction, it is not a function of voltage or deflection. The equation for k is only an approximation! For stable deflection the electrostatic force is balanced by the restorative flexure force, F = 4 e NF c where, N = number of flexures Anchor Flexure gold nitride poly0 poly2 23
24 Pull-Down Voltage assuming free space between the plates we get, AV 2 = ε0 Nkd z solving for V as a function of d gives, V = z 2 ε0 Nkd A z z ( z d ) = 0 replacing by gives, z o metal dielectric air metal d V = ( z d ) 0 2Nkd ε A 0 This equation calculates the required voltage,, to deflect the top plate of the piston actuator a distance,, from the initial plate separation, z. V d 0 24
25 Maximum Deflection Note that we are trying to balance the nonlinear electrostatic force,, with a linear force, F c. An imbalance or snap-through occurs when the rate of change in voltage vs. deflection distance is zero: dv dd d = d s = = 1 2Nk 2Nk 0 s s s 2 ε0a ε0a = ( z0 ds ) ds ds 2 2 ( z d ) d d = z0ds ds 2ds = z0ds 3ds d s = z 3 0 ds z0 where, = deflection distance from initial separation,, to snap-through. 1 2 z o metal F e dielectric air metal d deflection z z 3 Note : The rule also applies 0 to cantilevers and microbridges. 0 voltage 25
26 An Example A plate: 250 μm square An air gap: 2 μm A flexure: 40 μm x 10 μm x 0.5 μm E = 169 GPa for the flexure k = 169,000 MPa x 10 x /(4 x 40 3 ) = 0.8 μn/μm d = 1/3 x 2 μm = 0.7 μm V = (2/3 x 2μm) x SQRT [(2x1x0.8x0.7)/(8.85E-6 x )] = 1.9 V ε o = 8.85E-6 pf/μm 1 Pa = 1 Newton/m 2 = 1 N/m 2 1 MPa = 1 μn/μm 1 V = SQRT (μn x μm/pf) Anchor Flexure gold nitride poly0 poly2 k = V Ewt 3 L 4 = ( z d ) 0 σ (1 2L 3 μ + 2Nkd ε A 26 0 ) wt
