A torsional micromechanical scanner is fabricated from thin Fire Resistant 4 substrates using standard printed circuit board technology. The top and the bottom copper layers are connected with vias and shaped as a single coll to enable one- and two-dimensional electromagnetic actuation with an external magnet. Using 5 mm × 5 mm mirrors, the following scan angle and resonant frequency combinations are achieved: 17° at 1.8 kHz and 140° at 417 Hz. Another 10× improvement in magnetic actuation torque seems feasible. The technology offers a unique advantage by allowing a high degree of integration with microoptics and electronics directly on the mechanical platform and offers a low-cost alternative to silicon microelectromechanical systems devices particularly when large or low-frequency devices are required. © 2007 IEEE.
