Abstract

In recent years, electrothermal micromirrors have attracted widespread interest in hand-held scanning applications. In actual use, the impact resistance of the micromirror is a key parameter that needs to be carefully considered. This paper proposed a robust lateral-shift-free (LSF) electrothermal micromirror with multi-segment flexible connections. Those connections are composed of Photosensitive Polyimide (PSPI) and distributed at the end of each bimorph. Experiments show that the optimized micromirror can withstand a drop height of about 110 cm on the clean room floor, and its impact resistance is about 15 times higher than that of the normal electrothermal micromirrors.
