Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods for fabricating microscanners. The fabrication processes employed pursuant to some embodiments are compatible with well known CMOS fabrication techniques, allowing devices for control, monitoring and/or sensing to be integrated onto a single chip. Both one- and two-dimensional microscanners are described. Applications including optical laser surgery, maskless photolithography, portable displays and large scale displays are described.
