High-precision customization process for MEMS optical switches in smart buildings

Optical micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) combine electrical, mechanical, and optical systems to detect and manipulate optical signals at the micron level. It leverages batch fabrication techniques from the semiconductor industry to achieve miniaturization, extraordinary precision, and reliability. Optical MEMS has achieved enormous commercia. Fabricating optical MEMS devices involves microfabrication techniques like bulk and surface micromachining and deep X-ray lithography. The fabrication consists of functionality testing of optical and electronic structures, followed by developing and analyzing mechanical elements. The final step involves depositing materials, etching, and creating...
