Micromachined III-V Multimorph Actuator Model and Design using Simulated Annealing (SA)-Based Global Optimization
A new AlAs/GaAs-based multimorph microactuator (Fig. 1) is designed and modeled for micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) applications. As the piezoelectric-based III-V materials such as AlAs/GaAs have small piezoelectric constants, we have developed the Simulated Annealing (SA)-based [...]
