Abstract

A novel type of micro power relay has been designed and fabricated using UV-LIGA technology. The relay is based on electrostatic actuation and SU-8 was used as a functional material. The unique character of this novel power relay is that other than two SU-8 strips used both as electrical insulators mechanical connectors, all other components are made of metal or alloys. Because UV-LIGA technology has the advantages of broad material selection and the capability of making high aspect ratio microstructures, the technology is best suited for fabricating micro electro mechanical system power relays. A multi-step, multi-layer UV-LIGA process has been successfully developed and a prototype relay has been successfully fabricated.
