Abstract
This paper presents the design and simulation of a levitating MEMS speaker. The device is composed of a levitating membrane actuated through electrostatic forces using several electrodes and a control system. The absence of supporting anchors allows for a drastic reduction of damping losses and therefore promises higher power efficiency. Simulation results indicate very promising performance.
