This paper presents a two-axis AlScN-based water-immersible MEMS mirror fabricated in an 8-inch MEMS process. Compared with other studies, this device has a larger optical aperture 10 mm in diameter. The resonant frequencies of the device are 1011 Hz in air and 342 Hz in water. The scanning angle reaches ±5° and ±2° at resonant frequencies in air and water, respectively. The cavitation phenomenon is observed when the device is operating in water, which leads the device to electrical failure. To address this issue, a device with reduced resonant frequencies-246 Hz and 152 Hz in air and water-is characterized, through which the bubbles can be effectively prohibited. This MEMS mirror could potentially be used in ultrasound and photoacoustic microscopy applications.
本文介绍了一种采用8英寸MEMS工艺制造的基于AlScN的双轴水浸式MEMS微镜。与其他研究相比,该器件具有更大的光学孔径,直径为10毫米。该器件在空气中的共振频率为1011赫兹,在水中为342赫兹。在空气中和水中的共振频率下,扫描角度分别达到±5°和±2°。当该器件在水中运行时会观察到空化现象,这会导致器件电气故障。为了解决这个问题,对一种在空气中和水中共振频率降低至246赫兹和152赫兹的器件进行了表征,通过该器件可以有效防止气泡产生。这种MEMS微镜有可能用于超声和光声显微镜应用。
