Patent ID: 7486002

Claim:
A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device comprising: a substrate; an anchored end connected to said substrate; an actuator comprising: a first electrode; a piezoelectric layer over said first electrode; and multiple sets of second electrodes over said piezoelectric layer, wherein each of said sets of second electrodes being defined by a transverse gap there between, and wherein one of said sets of second electrodes are actuated asymmetrically with respect to a first plane resulting in a piezoelectrically induced bending moment arm in a lateral direction that lies in a second plane; an end effector opposite to said anchored end and connected to said actuator; a ferromagnetic core support structure connected to said end effector; a movable ferromagnetic inductor core on top of said ferromagnetic core support structure; and a MEMS inductor coiled around said ferromagnetic core support structure and said movable ferromagnetic inductor core.
