We report microfabrication of high aspect ratio comb-drive using deep X-ray lithography at Indus-2 synchrotron radiation source. Analysis shows that the comb-drive actuator of aspect ratio 32 will produce nearly 2.5 μm displacement when 100 V DC is applied. The displacement increases as the gap between the comb finger decreases. For fabrication of comb-drive, polyimide–gold X-ray mask using UV lithography is made for the first time in India. To pattern on an 800 μm thick X-ray photoresist (PMMA) exposures are performed using our deep X-ray lithography beamline (BL-07) at Indus-2. Metallization on the selective regions of the developed X-ray photoresist with comb-drive pattern was carried out by RF sputtering. Following this the comb-drive actuator of PMMA was fabricated by one-step X-ray lithography. The comb-drive can also be used as a sensor, energy harvester, resonator and filter.
