    Abstract: A system and method for precisely positioning a moveable structure in a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS). The system includes a substrate and a moveable device structure supported on the substrate. The device structure is moveable from an initial position to a deployment position at a predetermined offset angle to the substrate. A moveable anchor structure is supported on the substrate in proximity to the device structure. The anchor structure is locked to the device structure when the device structure is moved to the deployment position.

    Abstract: An optical reflective device includes: a movable part configured to be rotated about a rotation axis; a reflection surface located on the movable part; a frame part connected to the movable part at two positions symmetrical about the rotation axis; torsion part extending along the rotation axis; a connection part connecting one end of the torsion part to the frame part; a drive part connected to another end of the torsion part and configured to rotate the torsion part about the rotation axis; and a fixation part supporting the drive part, the connection part has higher rigidity than the torsion part, at least one pair of joint surfaces are formed at a boundary between the torsion part and the connection part, and the one pair of joint surfaces are symmetrical about the rotation axis and each have an acute angle on the torsion part side with the rotation axis.

    Abstract: Disclosed are an electrostatically driven comb structure of an MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System), a micro-mirror using the same, and a preparation method therefor. The surface of a comb of the electrostatically driven comb structure of the MEMS has an insulating layer, and the insulating layers on the surfaces of adjacent combs are the same type of insulating layers or different insulating layers; the micro-mirror with the electrostatically driven comb structure of the MEMS successively includes a substrate, an isolating layer and a device layer from bottom to top; the method for manufacturing the micro-mirror prepares the insulating layers by high temperature oxidization, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, low pressure chemical vapor deposition, atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition, physical deposition, atomic layer deposition or stepwise heterogeneous deposition; same or different insulating layers are obtained on the surfaces of the driving comb and the ground comb; when the driving comb and the ground comb adsorb each other, the insulating layers on the surfaces of the two contact without forming a short circuit, so that a good insulating effect is achieved. The electrostatically driven MEMS micro-mirror capable of preventing adsorptive damage provided by the present invention features compact structure and simple process.
