Popis: | We have developed a magnetostrictive Fe6sCo35 thin film based micro-cantilevers using micro-fabrication process. The cantilever stack consists of Si/Si02/Fe6sCo35 layers for actuation and cantilever thickness was controlled by silicon bulk micromachining process. High magnetostrictive and low stress Fe/Co 65/35 composition was utilized in cantilevers. Magnetic properties of Fe6sCo35 films were investigated using vibrating sample magnetometer and laser Doppler vibrometer. Micro-cantilever dimensions were confirmed using scanning electron microscope. Magnetic actuation was performed by applied magnetic field of 2000 Oe and tip deflection was monitored using laser interferometry method. In-house dc magnetic field set-up was developed which is compatible to laser Doppler vibrometer. Using cantilever deflection method magnetostriction coefficient (λ) was found to be ~135 ppm. The developed magnetostrictive cantilever is very useful MagMEMS and low field sensing and actuation applications. |
