The device was modeled numerically to simulate two kinds of micro-dynamics characteristics: the adhesion/shock-induced dynamic deflection of micro-suspension and the particle-deflecting performance of the micro-deflector. The simulation shows that the dynamic deflection of the micro-suspension can be reduced by decreasing the contact area of the attached secondary slider, and that the brittle fracture probability of the micro-suspension under 1000 G shock can be attained to be as low as 1.0×10-5. The simulation also illustrates that the micro-deflector can prevent 80% of flowing particles under the primary slider from entering the micro-system. A new process is also presented and used to fabricate the designs. | Source Title: | Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/112693 | ISSN: | 09601317 | DOI: | 10.1088/0960-1317/10/1/309 |
