Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

This project aims at developing 2-D micro-mirrors technology for scanning applications. Micro-mirrors are silicon integrated mirrors of a few mm2 that can oscillate at a few kHz. It shall use CMOS compatible processes for its realisation. This basic component will be packaged in a microsystem that will integrate optical and electronic functions. The die will be contained in a miniature Chip Scale Package with cavity over the mowing mirror region, the assembly is to be delivered as a 'ready to use' element for large dissemination. Such a technology will be demonstrated for bar-code and symbols reading. It will enable optical scanning in general and will be useful for non-invasive endoscope, 3D cameras (acquisition of the third dimension with phase modulation). The project contributes to EC objectives by developing tools (scanners) for automatic identification which is a basic request for food tracking, document and health management.
