Micro-scale Realization of Compliant Mechanisms: Manufacturing Processes and Constituent Materials—A Review

Abstract Compliant micromechanisms (CMMs) acquire mobility from the deflection of elastic members and have been proven to be robust by millions of silicon MEMS devices. However, the limited deflection of silicon impedes the realization of more sophisticated CMMs, which often require larger deflectio...
