Precision in-plane hand assembly of bulk microfabricated components for high-voltage MEMS arrays applications

This paper reports the design and experimental validation of an in-plane assembly method for centimeter-scale bulk-microfabricated components. The method uses mesoscaled deep-reactive-ion-etching (DRIE)-patterned cantilevers that deflect and lock into small v-shaped notches as a result of the hand-e...
