N2 - This paper reports the design, fabrication and operation of a two-dimensional (2-D) micromirror that can generate large bi-directional scans at low actuation voltages. The micromirror device has been fabricated by using a unique DRIE CMOS-MEMS process that can simultaneously provide thin-film and single-crystal silicon microstructures. A fabricated micromirror has negligible initial tilt angle, and can perform large bi-directional 2-D optical scans (over ±30°) at less than 12 Vdc. 2-D scanning using this mirror has been demonstrated by obtaining a 14° by 50° angular raster scan pattern.
