A Thermal Actuated Bistable Structure for Generating On-Chip Shock Loads

In this paper, we propose a bistable shock structure based on the thermal actuation principle, which overcomes the response time limitation of heating and cooling in typical thermal actuators and enables a rapid release of energy. Thus, force with a steep rising edge can be applied on a target. Usin...
