For micro-machines, very few design methodologies based on optimization hale been developed so far. To overcome the difficulties of design optimization of micro-machines, the search method for multi-dimensional design window (DW)s is proposed. The proposed method is defined as areas of satisfactory design solutions in a design parameter space, using both continuous evolutionary algorithms (CEA) and the modified K-means clustering algorithm . To demonstrate practical performance of the proposed method, it was applied to an optimal shape design of micro electrostatic actuator of optical memory. The shape design problem has 5 design parameters and 5 objective functions, and finally shows 4 specific design shapes and design characters based on the proposed DWs.
