Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing a microstructure. SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing the microstructure includes that: a first structure part is formed on a substrate; a sacrificial material is arranged on the first structure part; a layer of a first structure material is deposited on the sacrificial material and the substrate; and a second structure part is formed on the layer of the first structure material by removing at least a part of the sacrificial material, wherein the second structure part is connected to the substrate and movable between the first position at which the second structure part is separated from the first structure part and the second position at which the second structure part is made contact to the first structure part, the stiction between the second structure part and the first structure part is reduced by forming a carbon layer on at least one of the surfaces of the second structure part and the first structure part.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for providing a regenerating protective coating in a MEMS device. SOLUTION: In various embodiments of this invention, a regenerating protective coating is formed on at least one surface of an interior cavity of the MEMS device 80, Particular embodiments provide a regenerating protective coating 170 on one or more mirror surfaces of an interferometric light modulation device, also known as an iMoD in some embodiments. The protective coating can be regenerated through the addition of heat or energy to the protective coating. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
Method for coating micromechanical components of a micromechanical system, in particular a watch movement, comprising: providing a substrate component to be coated; providing said component with a diamond coating; wherein said diamond coating conductivity is increased in order to reduce dust attraction by the coated component when used in said micromechanical system. Corresponding micromechanical components and systems are also provided.
Abstract:
In a semiconductor mechanical structure, hinges may not be broken even when a mechanical shock is applied from outside, and thus, crashworthy is enhanced. A light scanning mirror (1) comprises a moving plate (2), a twin hinges (3) constituting an axis of swing motion of the moving plate (2) wherein an end of each hinge is connected to both ends of the moving plate (2), a stationary frame (4) which is disposed to surround peripheries of the moving plate (2) and supports another end of each of the twin hinges (3), and stoppers (6) formed on the stationary frame (4). When the moving plate (2) displaces in a lateral direction, the stopper (6) contacts a side end portion of a recess (2e) of the moving plate (2), so that the displacement of the moving plate (2) in the lateral direction is restrained. Thereby, the breakage of the hinges (3) is prevented even when the mechanical shock is applied from outside.
