Abstract: A method of fabricating a die for a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) microphone includes the steps of forming a diaphragm, etching a plurality of slots through the diaphragm to define a plurality of springs, releasing the diaphragm and the plurality of springs, wherein the plurality of springs relieves intrinsic stress of the diaphragm, and sealing the plurality of slots with sealing material, thereby disabling the springs.

Abstract: A method of forming a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) includes forming a lower electrode on a first insulator layer within a cavity of the MEMS. The method further includes forming an upper electrode over another insulator material on top of the lower electrode which is at least partially in contact with the lower electrode. The forming of the lower electrode and the upper electrode includes adjusting a metal volume of the lower electrode and the upper electrode to modify beam bending.

Abstract: A method of forming at least one Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) includes patterning a wiring layer to form at least one fixed plate and forming a sacrificial material on the wiring layer. The method further includes forming an insulator layer of one or more films over the at least one fixed plate and exposed portions of an underlying substrate to prevent formation of a reaction product between the wiring layer and a sacrificial material. The method further includes forming at least one MEMS beam that is moveable over the at least one fixed plate. The method further includes venting or stripping of the sacrificial material to form at least a first cavity.

Abstract: An electromechanical device comprises a substrate structure, a set of electrodes, one or more anchor trenches, and one or more multi-faced components. For example, each of the one or more multi-faced components comprises an isolation region formed on a first portion of the surface of the component, a high resistance region formed on a second portion of the surface of the component, and a low resistance region formed on a third portion of the surface of the component. For example, the synapse device is configured to provide an analog resistive output, ranging between the high resistance region and the low resistance region, from at least one of the set of electrodes in response to a pulsed voltage input to at least another one of the set of electrodes.
