Abstract
A Scratch-Drive-Actuator array is fabricated in an inverted way. According to the applied square wave of ±90V from 100Hz to 100kHz, the inverted SDAs successfully conveyed an object placed on it to the designed direction. Since SDA is a microactuator with several ten μN of force and several ten nm of actuation step, the inverted SDA will be a key device of precise, powerful conveyance system over a large area.
