Definitions
- the invention relates to an oscillating deflectable micromechanical elements as well as a 'method for operating such elements.
- spring-mass oscillators are often used as oscillators.
- movably mounted and earthy elements are held with one or more spring elements.
- the spring elements cause restoring forces in the direction of the rest position of the deflected elements.
- the oscillating deflection between two reversal points can be initiated with alternating electrical voltage.
- the resonance frequency of an oscillating deflected element can be taken into account and used for a maximum deflection achievable with reduced power.
- the drive is therefore often at least near a resonant frequency.
- the procedure is such that the oscillation is started by means of a sequence of voltage pulses having a frequency of the order of four times the mechanical resonance frequency.
- an electrical alternating voltage with a frequency which corresponds to twice the resonance frequency is then used.
- the resonance frequency is a basic quantity for the design of oscillating elements / systems which are to be operated at resonance. Only minor deviations are allowed. It is therefore desirable to keep the dependence of the frequency of other variables, such as the respective deflection as small as possible. Therefore, spring elements with a linear spring characteristic are used in order to avoid a changing resonance frequency.
- this object is achieved with elements which are designed according to claim 1. Operation may be by a method according to claim 10. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention can be achieved with features designated in the subordinate claims.
- the micromechanical elements according to the invention are held by means of at least one spring element. The oscillating deflection between two reversal points can be achieved with an electrical alternating voltage.
- the one or more spring element (s) has / have a non-linear spring characteristic, wherein ' the selection of the respective non-linearity can be made for the respective concrete application.
- the respective mechanical natural resonance frequency changes with different deflections.
- This can be specifically exploited, for example, to be able to achieve the greatest possible deflection with low drive energy by utilizing the mechanical self-resonance frequency.
- a frequency for driving the deflection can be set specifically, which leads to self-resonance at a certain deflection. This can be achieved at several frequencies and then with respectively corresponding deflection of an element. This advantage can, as will be explained below, be exploited.
- the oscillating deflection can be translational and / or rotational, that is, in the form of a pivoting with angular amounts about an axis of rotation. It can be obtained in a conventional manner with electrostatic forces or capacitive ways.
- the spring characteristic of spring elements may be degressive and / or progressive, taking into account the combination of degressive and progressive behavior as a function of the respective deflection can be. For example, degressive behavior may be present for small deflections and progressive behavior for larger deflections.
- the deviation of the spring characteristic from the non-linearity should be at least 5%.
- Non-linearity should be achieved at least in one area of the respective deflection. This can be, for example, after reaching a certain deflection, a progressive spring behavior.
- the frequency of the electrical alternating voltage with which the oscillating deflection is to be effected should be controllable and also be able to be determined for an evaluation or a detection of measured variables, which will be referred to below.
- micromechanical elements according to the invention can be formed and used in different forms. So they can be designed as a micromirror (scanner mirror), as a clock or sensor elements.
- pressures or viscosities of fluids in which the respective element is arranged can be determined.
- damping behavior the achievable deflection and the frequency of the alternating electrical voltage change.
- the change in frequency can be determined relatively easily, with little effort and small error and evaluated as a measure of the respective pressure or the viscosity of the fluid (gas).
- accelerations that are based on a act inventive element be determined.
- the acceleration can have a linear effect or can also be considered as angular acceleration.
- an acceleration acting in the direction of the deflection can lead to a displacement of the rest position (center position between reversal points).
- a spring element with progressive spring characteristic thereby also increases the frequency of the oscillating deflection. The change in frequency can thus be used as a measure of the acting acceleration.
- a surface can be provided, at least in some areas, with an adhesive coating to which specific substances can adhere, so that the mass increases.
- Increasing the mass reduces the frequency, which leads to an increase in the deflection and, as a result, to a further reduction in the frequency with increased measuring sensitivity.
- a de- sitive spring behavior is favorable.
- errors may be due to changing environmental conditions, e.g. Temperature or atmospheric pressure infoge of the deviating time constants are recognized and taken into account in an evaluation, since such pressures and temperatures change much slower than z.
- B is an acceleration.
- the elements according to the invention can also be used as clocks with controlled frequency.
- There- in the resonance frequency can be changed by changing the deflection, which can be achieved for example by changing the electrical voltage, and so set a specific clock frequency.
- the invention can also be used to influence the oscillating deflection so that an oscillating deflection deviating from a sinusoidal shape can be achieved.
- spring elements whose spring characteristic is degressive, an almost triangular deflection movement between reversal points and, in the case of spring elements with a progressive spring characteristic, an almost triangular deflection movement can be achieved.
- the latter deflection movement can advantageously be operated micromirrors for display applications, since a reversal point of such a vibration is not available.
- the invention can also be used for data acquisition, in addition to scanners in microscopy, for data output in laser displays, in laser printers or laser exposure.
- An application is also possible in Fourier spectrometers, for path length modulation or the manipulation of electromagnetic radiation.
- usable spring elements can be formed by juxtaposed differently shaped and dimensioned individual elements and form quasi a series circuit.
- bending or torsion beams can be combined with other shapes.
- Such a beam may for example be formed on one or both end faces with a branch, such as a fork.
- a branch such as a fork.
- areas on such a partially bar-shaped spring element can act on their orientation from the Deviate longitudinal axis of the bar-shaped part.
- spring elements can also be designed so that the part which acts on the oscillatingmenlenkenden E- lement and the side which is stored or clamped firmly, are designed differently.
- Manufacturing tolerances for example, cause a corresponding natural resonant frequency can be better compensated. This has a particularly advantageous effect in the case of multidimensional deflection. As a rule, given the deflection by at least " two axes, certain frequency ratios must be maintained in order to allow deflections while maintaining resonance conditions.” However, if at least one mechanical natural resonance frequency deviates as a result of non-compliance with manufacturing tolerances, such an operation is not possible. However, this can be compensated with the invention because of the larger usable frequency range.
- the invention is used for sensitive elements for the detection of physical quantities, their sensitivity can be increased.
- FIG. 1 shows a diagram of the excitation frequency and deflection with consideration of the resonance frequency in the case of spring elements with a linear spring characteristic
- Figure 2 is a diagram of the frequency and deflection of an element with spring elements having a linear spring characteristic and are deflected by means of out-of-plane Electrode Comb drive;
- FIG. 3 shows a diagram of the resonant frequency which changes as a function of the deflection in the case of spring elements with a progressive spring characteristic
- FIG. 4 shows a diagram of the resonant frequency which changes as a function of the deflection in spring elements with a progressive spring characteristic curve
- FIG. 5 shows an example of design forms of spring elements that can be used in the invention.
- FIG. 5 eight examples of possible embodiments of spring elements which can be used in the invention are shown.
- a region aligned rectilinearly in the direction of the longitudinal axis is present.
- the examples shown in the upper row have on one end face a bifurcation / branching, which is V-shaped or also U-shaped.
- the example shown on the lower right-most row is made up of two directly connected bifurcations / branches, with one and the other is V-shaped.
