Modeling of a High Force Density Fishbone Shaped Electrostatic Comb Drive Microactuator

This paper presents the design and evaluation of a high force density fishbone shaped electrostatic comb drive actuator. This comb drive actuator has a branched structure similar to a fishbone, which is intended to increase the capacitance of the electrodes and hence increase the electrostatic actua...
