Abstract
A self-assembly structure of micro electromechanical optical switch utilizes residual stresses of three curved beams. The first curved beam pushes the base plate away from the substrate. The second curved beam lifts up the mirror slightly. Then, the third curved beam rotates the mirror vertical to the base plate and achieves self-assembly. In another embodiment, magnetic force and magnetic-activated elements are used.
