SinceSUMMiTVdesignsarelaidoutusingAutoCAD2000,theFigure1isgeneratedautomaticallyfromthelayoutmasks(Appendix[1]).Oneunitoftheplanetarygearsystemiscomposedofsixgears:

Fabricationprocedureandteststructures
ThefeaturesoftheSUMMiTVprocessofferfourlevelsofstructuralpolysiliconlayersandanelectricalpolylevel,andalsoemploytraditionalintegratedcircuitprocessingtechniques[4].TheSUMMiTVtechnologyisespeciallysuitableforthegearmechanism.Theplanetarygearmechanismcanbedrivenbytheon-chipengineandthusisanotherreasonofusingtheSUMMiTVprocess.

ThefiguresfortheteststructuresarepresentedinAppendix[2].Sincetheaimofthispaperistosuggestagearreductionmechanism,theplanetarygearsystemisdecomposedtoseveralgearunitstoverifyitsperformance.Thefirstteststructureisaboutthearm,whichrotatesthesungear,connectedtotheon-chipengine.Theangularvelocityofthearmdependsontheengineoutputspeed.Thesecondteststructuredescribesthepointatwhichthesungearandplanetarygearsareengagedtothefixedringgear.Becauseofthefactthattheringgearisfixed,theplanetarygearisjusttransmittingthetorquefromthesungeartothefixedringgearwithoutplanetmotion,e.g.,rotatingitsownaxisnotaroundthesungear.Whentherotatingringgearismountedontopofthefixedringgear,i.e.,thethirdteststructure,theplanetarygearsbegintorotatearoundthesungearsothattheplanetmotionareenabled.Therefore,onceoneoutputgearisattachedtotherotatingringgear,i.e.,thefinalteststructure,thewholereductionunitiscompleted.Dismantlingthe
