| Abstract | This paper proposes a magnetic actuator using a partially magnetized FePt thick film as a permanent magnet and membrane material for bi-directional micropumps. The magnetized areas act as flux sources, while the magnetized and unmagnetized areas play a role of the membrane part. The mechanical and magnetic characterization results show FePt has a large tensile strength and a lower Young's modulus than Si crystal, and a comparable remanence to NdFeB. A magnetic pattern transfer technique with a post thermal demagnetization is proposed and experimentally verified to magnetize the FePt partially. Using the proposed magnetic actuator with partially magnetized FePt film is beneficial to simplify the complicated structure and fabrication process of the bi-directional magnetic micropump besides other magnetic MEMS devices. |
