Popis: We report an electrostatically driven linear microvibromotor fabricated using surface-micromachining technology. This device is developed for use in actuated micro-optical systems on silicon. Its submicron positioning resolution and a travel range of over 350 /spl mu/m are excellent properties for this application. Vibromotor precision and velocity are characterized, and various drive methods are discussed. A simulation of the vibromotor dynamics is presented to explore optimization and control issues for this device.
