    Abstract: A vertically integrated structure includes a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) and a chip for delivering signals to the MEMS. The MEMS has an anchor portion having a conductor therethrough, by which it is connected to a substrate. The chip is attached to the MEMS substrate in a direction normal to the substrate surface, so as to make a conductive path from the chip to the MEMS. The chip may be attached by bonding the conductor to C4 metal pads formed on the chip, or by bonding the conductor to metal studs on the chip. The MEMS substrate may be thinned before attachment to the chip, or may be removed from the underside of the MEMS. A temporary carrier plate is used to facilitate handling of the MEMS and alignment to the chip.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe and a data storage device, requiring less power consumption. SOLUTION: The data storage device includes a storage medium for storing data in a form of marks, and at least one probe for scanning this storage medium, and the storage medium can be included in the substrate. The probe contains a cantilever including a terminal, where this terminal functions as an electrical contact to mechanically be fixed on a probe retention structure, which can be a common frame of the data storage device during probe operation. The probe also contains a support structure, to which it mechanically connects the terminal directly or via a hinge. This support structure extends so as to separate from the terminal. The end section having a nano-scaled vertex is provided. A beam structure, which contains a heat resistor, is installed at the end section of the support structure. This beam structure is thinner than the area of the support structure, directly contacting the beam structure in at least the direction parallel to the shaft of the end section.

    Abstract: A microsystem switch (1, 20, 25, 30, 33) has a support (2) defining a recess (3), and a flexible bridge (6) is mounted on the support (2) bridging the recess (3). The bridge (6) is shaped so as to hold selectively a concave support stable state, in which the bridge bulges out of the recess (3). The switch includes an actuator (8, 9; 26, 27) for effecting flexing of the bridge (6) between the stable states, and a switching element (7, 31, 34) is mounted on the bridge (6) such that movement of the bridge between the stable states moves the switching element between an on position and an off position. According to another design, a microsystem switch (40, 55) has a support (41) defining a recess (42), and an elongate torsion member (44) is mounted on the support (41) bridging the recess (42). A flexible bridge (43, 56) is mounted on the support (41) bridging the recess (42) in a direction substantially perpendicular to the torsion member (44). The bridge (43, 56) is connected to the torsion member (44) at the cross-point thereof so that a first section of the bridge extends between the cross-point and one side of the recess (42) and a second section of the bridge extends between the cross-point and the opposite side of the recess (42). The bridge (43, 56) is shaped so as to hold selectively a first stable state, in which the first section of the bridge bulges into the recess and the second section of the bridge bulges out of the recess, and a second stable state in which this configuration is reversed. A switching element (45) is mounted at the cross-point of the bridge (43, 56) and torsion member (44), and an actuator (46a, 46b; 58a, 58b) is again provided for effecting flexing of the bridge (43, 56) between the stable states. Here, movement of the bridge (43, 56) between the stable states effects twisting of the torsion member (44) and rotation of the switching element (45) between an on position and an off position. Switching devices incorporating these switches, and switching apparatus comprising arrays of such switching devices, are also provided.
