A DC-Powered High-Voltage Generator using a Bulk Pt-Rh Oscillating Micro-Relay

This paper reports a high voltage generator formed by the hybrid assembly of a micromachined relay and a wound-wire inductor or transformer. The relay is micro-electrodischarge machined from Pt-Rh bulk metal foil, and consists of a normally-closed switch that is part of a DC-powered electrothermal r...

Zusammenfassung:This paper reports a high voltage generator formed by the hybrid assembly of a micromachined relay and a wound-wire inductor or transformer. The relay is micro-electrodischarge machined from Pt-Rh bulk metal foil, and consists of a normally-closed switch that is part of a DC-powered electrothermal relaxation oscillator. The use of this material permits the relay to be operated in air, without the need for inert packaging. It also provides a resistance of
