    Abstract: A stress-balancing layer (130) is formed over portions (122) of a spring metal finger (120) that remain attached to an underlying substrate (101) to counter internal stresses inherently formed in the spring metal finger (120). The (e.g., positive) internal stress of the spring metal causes the claw (tip) (125) of the spring metal finger (120) to bend away from the substrate (101) when an underlying release material is removed. The stress-balancing pad (130) is formed on an anchor portion (122) of the spring metal finger (120), and includes an opposite (e.g., negative) internal stress that counters the positive stress of the spring metal finger (120). A stress-balancing layer (230) is either initially formed over the entire spring metal finger (120) and then partially removed (etched) from the claw portion (125), or selectively deposited only on the anchor portion (122) of the spring metal finger (120). An interposing etch stop layer (325-1) is used when the same material composition is used to form both the spring metal (220) and stress-balancing (230) layers.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide several methods and structures for improving the yield in plane external micro device structure including springs and coils. SOLUTION: A plane external structure comprises a substrate 20 and at least two elastic members 18 that are arranged with an interval, each elastic member 18 includes an anchor section, a spring, and a free end section, the anchor section is fixed to the substrate 20, and the free end section is arranged separately from the substrate 20. The radius of curvature of the elastic member 18 to be released is controlled by depositing a layer made of a reflow material, and then performing reflow after the release. A structure having a high yield can be used for a number of electronic application fields such as a filter circuit.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optical switch, using a reflection MEMS mirror. SOLUTION: An optical cross connect system involves the general concept of a two-dimensional array of MEMS tilt mirrors, used to direct light, coming from a first optical fiber to a second optical fiber. Each MEMS tilt mirror in the two-dimensional array can tilt about two non-colinear axes and is suspended by plural suspension arms attached to a glass substrate.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scanning probe system of a scanning probe microscope system or the like having a low-cost probe that can be easily manufactured. SOLUTION: The scanning probe microscope (SPM) system for probing a sample 115 includes a stand 110 having a surface for mounting the sample 115, a probe assembly 120-1, and pieces of measuring apparatus (142, 145). The probe assembly includes a substrate 122, and a spring probe 125. The probe 125 comprises a fixed end 210 mounted to the substrate, a central section 220 that is curved away from the substrate, and a free end 230 having a probe chip 235 that is arranged adjacent to the surface of the stand. The pieces of measuring apparatus measure deformation in the spring probe 125 due to the interaction between the probe chip 235 and the sample 115. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the strength and durability of a spring structure. SOLUTION: A stress-balancing layer is formed over a portion of a spring metal finger 120 that remains attached to a substrate 101 to counter balance internal stresses inherently formed in the spring metal finger 120. The internal stress (for example, positive internal stress) of the spring metal finger 120 causes the safety lug 125 (tip) of the spring metal finger 120 to bend away from the substrate 101 when a underlying release substance is removed. A stress-balancing pad 130 is formed on an anchor portion 122 of the spring metal finger 120, and made to include an internal stress (for example, negative internal stress) that counter balances the positive stress of the spring metal finger 120.
