    Abstract: A preferred conformal penetrating multi electrode array includes a plastic substrate that is flexible enough to conform to cortical tissue. A plurality of penetrating semiconductor micro electrodes extend away from a surface of the flexible substrate and are stiff enough to penetrate cortical tissue. Electrode lines are encapsulated at least partially within the flexible substrate and electrically connected to the plurality of penetrating semiconductor microelectrodes. The penetrating semiconductor electrodes preferably include pointed metal tips. A preferred method of fabrication permits forming stiff penetrating electrodes on a substrate that is very flexible, and providing electrical connection to electrode lines within the substrate.

    Abstract: A wavelength tunable gain medium with micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) based Fabry-Perot (FP) filter cavity tuning is provided as a tunable laser. The system comprises a laser cavity and a filter cavity for wavelength selection. The laser cavity consists of a gain medium such as a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA), two collimating lenses and an end reflector. The MEMS-FP filter cavity comprises a fixed reflector and a moveable reflector, controllable by electrostatic force. By moving the MEMS reflector, the wavelength can be tuned by changing the FP filter cavity length. The MEMS FP filter cavity displacement can be tuned discretely with a step voltage, or continuously by using a continuous driving voltage. The driving frequency for continuous tuning can be a resonance frequency or any other frequency of the MEMS structure, and the tuning range can cover different tuning ranges such as 30 nm, 40 nm, and more than 100 nm.

    Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device and a manufacturing method are provided. The device includes top and bottom cap wafers and a MEMS wafer disposed between the top cap wafer and the bottom cap wafer. The top, bottom and MEMS wafers define sidewalls of a cavity. A MEMS structure is housed within the cavity and is movable relative to the top and bottom caps. At least one electrode is provided in one of the wafers, the electrode being operatively coupled to the MEMS structure to detect or induce a movement thereof. A support structure extends through the cavity from the top cap wafer to the bottom cap wafer to prevent bowing in the top cap and bottom cap wafers.
