Definitions
- the disclosure relates to microlens actuators, and in particular piezoelectric microlens actuators along with methods and an apparatus for actuating and/or controlling movement of a lens in an out-of-plane direction.
- Micro-optics applications and miniaturised confocal microscopy require precise movement of a microlens in an out-of-plane direction.
- Out-of-plane movement may be used to allow for auto-focus, optical zooming, changing the focal plane of a laser beam along the optical axis or other optical or camera applications.
- Multiple aligned micro-lenses with each microlens being capable of out-of-plane movement in the optical axis is required to realize miniaturized cameras. Movements in an out-of-plane direction or in the z-axis that extends through the lens have been known to be provided through thermal or electrostatic actuation. Although thermal actuation operates at low voltage, it suffers from slow response time and large power consumption.
- electrostatic actuation has a fast response time and low power consumption, it requires large actuation voltage and pliable mechanical platform to yield large displacement due to its low energy density. It would be valuable to find a way of providing out-of-plane movement with a fast or faster response time and a lower power consumption while.
- a piezoelectric microlens actuator is disclosed.
- the microlens actuator provides out-of-plane deflection. In some forms the microlens actuator minimises tilt while maximising out-of-plane deflection. In other forms the microlens actuator may control tilt.

- the microlens actuator comprises a lens support and an array of piezoelectric actuation members.
- the piezoelectric actuation members are fabricated such that a voltage applied to any one of the piezoelectric actuation members results in a change of dimension of the piezoelectric layer of that piezoelectric actuation member resulting in a bending moment in an out-of-plane direction.

- the engagement elements and the lens support are configured such that the bending moment of any one of the piezoelectric actuation members results in a movement of the lens support in an out-of-plane direction.
- the movement of the actuation members is a change in the length of the piezoelectric layer of the actuation member. That is, application of the voltage results in an expansion or contraction of the length of the piezoelectric layer which results in a bending moment and then in a movement of the lens support in the direction of the z-axis.
- the movement of the lens support is out of plane in the facing direction of a lens supported by the lens support.
- engagement members comprise biasing members, which can be in the form of springs.
- the piezoelectric actuation members comprise a laminar structure including a piezoelectric layer and electrodes positioned such that application of voltage to the electrodes results in the change in dimension of the piezoelectric actuation members.
- the piezoelectric layer and the electrodes are positioned such that a portion of the piezoelectric layer is intermediate the electrodes.
- the actuator may have the benefits of providing substantial out-of-plane movement of the lens with minimal tilt at a relatively fast speed with lower energy requirements than some forms found in the prior art.
- the actuator may have the benefit of controlling tilt at relatively fast speed with lower energy requirements than alternative actuators.
- the actuator may simply provide an alternative actuation method than those known.
- the actuator may find particular application in micro-optics applications specifically auto-focus applications and zooming applications in miniature cameras or confocal microscopy.
- a method to enhance out of plane displacement ranges by manipulation of residual stress in a support layer is disclosed. It should also be appreciated that the lens actuator disclosed herein may find application in technologies not previously envisaged, due to its ability to maximise out-of- plane movement in response to the voltage applied to a piezoelectric layer.

- a buffer layer may be required as a seed layer depending on the type of piezoelectric material used.
- the amount of displacement range of the lens support is influenced by the initial residual moment of the structure.
- this residual moment causes an initial deflection or deformation in the structure which restricts the displacement range of the actuator.
- the residual stress of the support layer can be manipulated to alter the initial deflection or deformation of the structure.
- a semi-crystalline ultra-high vacuum e-beam evaporated polysilicon film with a percentage of crystallization above 95% allows residual stress manipulation. This is possible by depositing between 450-500°C at a deposition rate of 50 - 100 nm/min and subsequently annealing the film at elevated temperatures to achieve a fully crystallized tensile film.

- the gradient labelled“u” displayes the upward residual moment.
- the gradient labelled“z” displays the zero residual moment.
- the gradient labelled“d” displays the downward residual moment.
- curve‘z’ Since the polarization of PZT dictates upward deflection, the displacement range that can be achieved is dz.
- the actuator will have an initial upward deflection which reduces the displacement range to ⁇ u.
- the displacement range ( ⁇ d) By manipulating the residual moment to cause an initial downward deflection, the displacement range ( ⁇ d) will be enhanced significantly.
- a possible solution is by manipulating the residual stress of the SiO 2 and polysilicon films. A compressive stress in the S1O2 layer and tensile stress in the polysilicon structure is required in order to counteract the upward moment caused by the Ti/Pt and PZT films.

- a thick UHVEEPoly film is deposited at 500 ° C substrate temperature on a silicon wafer with 0.5 pm S1O2 grown in wet oxidation. The measured thickness was 6.1 pm by a stylus profiler.
- the deposition rate of UHVEEPoly is 200 nm/min, with a base pressure of 1 x10 -9 Torr and deposition pressure in the order of 10 -8 Torr.
- the as-deposited UHVEEPoly film stress is determined to be around -50 MPa (compressive).
- the film is annealed at 700 ° C in N2 ambient to obtain a tensile stress of 140 MPa.
- a thick compressive SiO 2 film is needed to achieve a downward residual moment.
- the ways to deposit SiO 2 films are either by RF magnetron sputtering or PECVD techniques.
- the residual stress becomes more compressive after annealing at elevated temperatures.
- PECVD oxide films the stress becomes more tensile after a long period of annealing. Due to a lengthy process of the PZT deposition at a high temperature in the subsequent steps, it is crucial for the SiO 2 film to maintain a fairly compressive stress to enable the downward residual moment once the structure is released. Therefore, the sputtered oxide is chosen to be part of the elastic structural layer in this work.
- An optimized process for the sputtering of SiO 2 film is used to achieve the desired stress level and thickness.
- the film is sputtered using a 4” diameter 99.995% fused quartz target.

- the uniformity is less than 5% between the center and the edge of a 2” wafer.
- the average thickness and refractive index are 2.25 miti and 1 .4473 respectively.
- the SiO 2 film is annealed at 700°C to obtain a compressive stress of 1 10 MPa.
- a bi-layer metal film consisting of Ti(15 nm)/Pt(100 nm) is then deposited by e-beam evaporation on the sputtered S1O2 layer as the bottom electrode.
- the film deposition is followed by annealing at 650°C to control the film stress and to ensure a crack-free PZT film deposition after sintering.
- a sol-gel PZT solution with Zr/Ti ratio of 52/48 and 10% excess Pb is spun at 4000 rpm, dried at 300°C for 5 min on a hot-plate, and crystallized at 650°C for 15 min in O2 ambient furnace to achieve approximately 1 15 nm thin- film. This process is consecutively repeated to build up approximately 2.2 pm thick PZT film.
- the top electrode Ti(15 nm)/Pt(100 nm), is also deposited by the similar e-beam evaporation process as that of the bottom electrode.
- the top electrode remained as- deposited without subsequent annealing step.
- the top Ti/Pt electrode will be subjected to 300°C for approximately 30 mins for 1 pm PECVD Si02 deposition which conformally covers the step height of the top electrode for Al pad patterning. This is to avoid short-circuiting between the top and bottom electrodes.
- the PECVD oxide on top of the actuators and microlens holding platform is etched away by RIE. Three micro-cantilever actuators of different lengths have also been fabricated on the same chip to characterize and verify the residual moment generated from the thin-films.
- the stress manipulation can enhance the displacement by 36%.
- the actuator is driven by a 1 Hz square-wave from 2 - 22 V (9.09 - 100 kV/cm) in which the displacement is measured by the vibrometer at a fixed point on the microlens holding platform.
- the actuator has a measured displacement of 145 pm at the lens platform, which is about 9.8% higher than the simulated result considering constant d 3i coefficient.
- the unloaded microlens actuator has a measured resonance frequency of 1 .961 kHz which is close to the simulated result of 1.934 kHz.
- the methodology to enhance out-of-plane displacement range by residual stress manipulation can be applied across different MEMS actuator structures like micro-bridges or diaphragms.
- the initial deflection of a PZT based micro-actuator can be modified due to stress manipulation of the polysilicon layer to enhance displacement without significantly influencing the resonance frequency.
- Fig. 7 deflection of the microlens holding platform in respect to the device surface plane (zero on the y-axis) at various electric fields (E) is shown.
- Fig. 8 shows deflection of a 600 ⁇ m long 100p wide micro-cantilever actuator at various electric fields compared to FEM results. It will be understood to persons skilled in the art that many other modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the actuator, method of
