Abstract
A comb-type actuator for movable microelectromechanical structures includes first and second asymmetric sets of interdigitated fingers. Asymmetry is obtained by fabricating on set of fingers to have a greater height than the other set, or by providing electrically insulating segments in one set. Application of a voltage across the sets produces an asymmetric field between them and produces relative motion.
