context_page_description: A MEMS magnetic actuator is a device that uses the microelectromechanical systems to convert an electric current into a mechanical output by employing the well-known Lorentz Force Equation or the theory of Magnetism.
context_section_description: There are several ways by which the magnet could be fabricated on a MEMS structure:
  Sputtering: Argon ion bombardment of the material release particles of the material. Mainly for depositing rare earth magnets. Deposition rate and film surface area depend on sputtering tool and target size
  Pulsed Layer Deposition: a high-power pulsed laser beam is focused inside a vacuum chamber to strike a target of the material that is to be deposited
  Electroplating
  Screen printing
  Wax/Parylene bonding
