Abstract

The design and fabrication process of a micro-mirror device is presented. The device is driven by sol-gel deposited PZT-layer actuators. The mirror is designed to be able to carry out scanning in two lateral directions, and additionally movement in vertical direction using a FEMsimulation tool. The established fabrication process is described.
