SU-8厚膜光阻利用一般的微影製程，即可製作高深寬比的微結構。目前SU-8光阻主要是應用於LIGA電鑄製程之模板、熱壓成形之模仁、微光合成形、光波導、微流體應用流道或微機械結構等之材料，在直接將SU-8光阻作為微致動器結構材料的研究並不多見。本研究目的即是結合低成本的SU-8厚膜光阻製程與矽蝕刻釋放技術，開發一體成型之靜電式微致動器。利用SU-8厚膜光阻容易微影成形，及材質強度與熱穩定佳之特性，將其直接作為靜電式微連桿驅動機構的本體材料，不用電鑄程序翻製成金屬結構，可避免SU-8光阻去除性不佳的困擾。以SU-8光阻作為微致動器材料，其驅動反應速率將可大於金屬結構微致動器，減少驅動輸入功率的消耗。全SU-8厚膜光阻的製程與微結構，其優點為低成本、可降低微致動器因組裝所造成的誤差，利用間接驅動方式增加致動器的作動行程。製作完成之靜電式致動器，經局部結構釋放且鍍金屬膜後，成功地以直流150伏特電壓驅動。

The research has developed the electrostatic micromechanism-drive actuator through the combination of low-cost SU-8 thick resist process and etch release technique. The SU-8 thick resist process can be used to fabricate the high aspect ratio microstructures that can add the strength and the electrical properties of microdevices. Moreover, the SU-8 resist is used as the body material of micromechanism; this can directly avoid the stripped difficulty and inconvenient assembly like MUMPs process. Besides, the microactuator fabricated by SU-8 can make the driving response larger than the one fabricated by metal. We have finished electrostatic actuator that was all in one not assembled. Advantages of electrostatic actuator are low cost, decrease microstructures assembled tolerances and increase active range of micromechanism by being driven indirectly. In our study, Electrostatic actuators that was sputtered metal, are driven by DC 150 V.
