Minimizing impact force during actuation reduces damage to contacting surfaces. An electrostatic actuation method for creating a soft contact between dielectric and semiconductor surfaces is described and applied to cantilevers and clamped beams. The method utilizes a short high-voltage delta-pulse followed by a low dc hold voltage to pull in the cantilever or beams. Removal of the hold voltage releases...
