Micro Snap-Fits for Latching 3D MEMS Assemblies

This paper reports the design, fabrication and demonstration of micro-scale mechanical latches (micro snapfits) for assembling 3D micro-structures from 2D patterned precursors. The latches consist of pairs of pointy arrowheadlike features mounted on cantilevers, on one membrane, and corresponding sl...
