14 Standard 2D MEMS mirror design approach: Gimbal mount configuration mirror stacked vertical comb drives springs gimbal

15 Gimbal mount design is the optimum choice for laser projection displays...

16 ... but not for a 7mm circle scanner 1. circular scanning requires identical resonant frequencies of both axes difficult to achieve with a gimbal design 2. the MEMS scanner would become too large and too expensive 3. disadvantageous eigenmode spectrum

17 MEMS mirror concept: Tripod design mirror plate (diameter 7mm, thickness 500 µm) circular bending springs (thickness 40 µm) identical resonant frequencies in xy minimum chip-size circular springs enable large tilt angle advantageous eigenmode spectrum stacked vertical comb electrodes for driving and sensing

18 deformation [µm] Finite element analysis of dynamic mirror deformation mirror standard thickness 80µm mirror with stiffening rings thickness 500µm solid mirror thickness 500µm standard mirror with no reinforcement mirror diameter [mm] mirror with stiffening ring solid mirror

23 vacuum encapsulation of 2D-MEMS mirrors on wafer-level Glass wafer MEMS wafer glassfrit bonding

24 vacuum encapsulation of 2D-MEMS mirrors on wafer-level Glass wafer MEMS wafer glassfrit bonding bottom wafer Au / Si eutectic bonding

25 the benefit of vacuum encapsulation of MEMS scanning mirrors atmosphere vacuum Q-factor > 140,000

26 fabrication process based on dual layer 80µm thick polysilicon process

27 frontside etch

28 rear side etch

29 Wafer level vacuum encapsulation (cavity depth > 3 mm) titanium-getter

30 fabricated tripod mirror test structure comb drive electrodes mirror circular suspension rear side of the mirror stiffening rings spacer

31 first functional test of tripod mirror test structure single axis excitation f=1.5khz dual axis excitation f=1.5khz

32 tilt angle [degree] Tripod MEMS mirror design with increased tilt angle Finite Element Analysis of nonlinear springs new tripod mirror f = 0.8 khz volts tripod test structure f = 1.5 khz torque [mnm]

33 Conclusion Vacuum packaging is the key for large aperture MEMS mirrors to achieve large scan angles A tripod seems to be the appropriate design for a two-axis circle scanning MEMS mirror Batch processing on 8-inch silicon wafers enables low-cost mass production of these devices
