Abstract: A magnetic switch includes a substrate having a recess therein. A rotor or rotors are provided on the substrate. The rotor includes a tail portion that overlies the recess, and a head portion that extends on the substrate outside the recess. The rotor may be fabricated from ferromagnetic material, and is configured to rotate the tail in the recess in response to a changed magnetic field. First and second magnetic switch contacts also are provided that are configured to make or break electrical connection between one another in response to rotation of the tail in the recess, in response to the changed magnetic field. Related operation and fabrication methods also are described.

Abstract: 本發明指示一微機電結構，包含一微電子基板及在此微電子基板上的間隔支撐，柄桿延伸在此間隔支撐之間並在對之加熱時膨脹，藉之造成柄桿在間隔支撐間的移動，對柄桿的加熱產生從柄桿經間隔支撐而進入基板的熱傳導路徑，熱傳導路徑中的熱隔離結構降低來自柄桿的熱傳導，經由間隔支撐並進入基板，相較於沒有熱隔離結構的情形。熱隔離結構最好比柄桿及支撐有較低之熱傳導，維持在柄桿中的熱可藉之增加，此熱隔離結構在柄桿的每一端可包含一熱隔離結構，在每個間隔支撐中的一熱隔離結構，在相鄰每個間隔支撐的基板中的熱隔離結構，及/或至少柄桿中的一熱隔離結構。因此，可以提供改良的微機電結構之熱效率，藉之可有較低的功率，較高的偏向，較大的力量及/或較高的速度。

Abstract: 波長塞取開關係包括固定反射器(譬如固定鏡面)以及可移動反射器(譬如可移動鏡面)，其中當提供波長塞取功能的可移動反射器處於一輻射反射位置中時，任何的固定反射器及任何的可移動反射器在一基材上均不互呈正交狀定向，較佳實施例中，當可移動反射器位於輻射反射位置時，各個固定及可移動反射器係與其餘部份的固定及可移動反射器呈平行狀或70°角定向。最佳，當可移動反射器處於輻射反射位置時，固定反射器及可移動反射器均在基材上呈平行狀定向。由於固定及可移動反射器具有這些定向，可利用沿著晶體面的濕蝕刻在矽基材上製造波長塞取光學開關，以提供高性能約波長塞取光學開關。
