Hi all, I'm working on a membrane mirror research, the mirror was fabricated by anodic bonding of Pyrex 7740 glass to Si wafer. My idea is, by applying voltage between the Al electrodes patterned on glasss wafer and the Silicon membrane , the membrane will deform through the air gap under the electrostatic force. But, terriblly, obviously no deformation was observed when even a 300 V voltage is applied and the air gap is only 20 microns. I have tested the whole structure and I'm sure that there is no short circuit between the membrane and the Al electrode, now, I'm desperate and I hope anyone can save me. Joe
