Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a micro electromechanical system optical device having a reduced occupied area. SOLUTION: In order to increases the production quantity on a substrate, the micro electromechanical system (MEM) optical device has the reduced occupied area. The MEM device has the optical element which has an outer edge and is supported by a supporting structure body disposed at the substrate. The supporting structure body is mechanically connected to the substrate by the pair of first and second beam which moves the structure to the startup position at which the optical element is raised upward of the substrate. At the raised position, the optical element is selectively inclined in order to deflect an optical signal. The beam is connected at one end to the supporting structure body, and is connected at the other end to the substrate, and the edge of the first and the second beam is placed so that they may be approached and located in the outer edge of the optical element. In order to decrease the contact area between the edge of the optical element and the substrate, it is suitable that a static frictional force reduction element is located in the outer edge of the optical element.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid integrated circuit having a MEMS relay flip-chip bonded to a CMOS chip. SOLUTION: The CMOS chip is bonded to a MEMS microrelay to form a rigid electric connection between the chips, whereby highly integral electric transmission through the hybrid integrated circuit can be formed. If a delay of signal propagation between the CMOS chip and the MEMS chip is greatly reduced, the hybrid integrated circuit can be used in high band width applications.

Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) actuator device is disclosed. The MEMS actuator device has an actuated element that is rotatably connected to a support structure via torsional members. The torsional members provide a restoring force to keep the actuated element planar to the surface of an underlying substrate. The surface of the substrate has electrodes formed thereon. The electrodes are adapted to receive an electrical potential. When an electrical potential is applied to certain of the electrodes, an electrostatic force is generated which causes the actuated element to rotate out of plane. The electrodes have three components. At least a portion of two of the components is within the tilting area of the actuated element. The third is outside the tilting area of the actuated element. The tilting area is defined as the surface area of the actuated element as projected onto the underlying substrate.

Abstract: An optical switch for use in optical applications utilizes a MEMS reflective shutter and at least one reflecting device to provide optical switching between an input and two or more outputs while reducing the amount of physic al space required to position the respective input and outputs, and thereby minimize the size of the optical switch.

Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical (MEM] optical device having a reduced footprint f or increasing yield on a substrate. The MEM device includes an optical element having an outer edge and supported by a support structure disposed on a substrate. The support structure is mechanically connected to the substrate through first and secon d pairs of beams which move the structure to an active position for elevating the optic device above the substrate. When in an elevated position, the optical device can be selectively tilted for deflecting optic signals. The beams are connected at one end to the support structure, at the other end to the substrate and are disposed so that the first and second bea m ends are located proximate the optical device outer edge. In a preferred embodiment, a stiction force reducing element is included on the outer edge of the optical device f or reducing the contact area between the optic device edge and the substrate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) optical device (100). The micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) optical device (100) includes a mirror (110) having a substrate (140) with an implanted light reflective optical layer (130) thereover, and a mounting substrate (120) on which the mirror (110) is movably mounted. The inclusion of the dopant (150) within the light reflective optical layer (130) increases the tensile stress of the device (100) and tends to correct the concave curvature of the mirror structure toward a desirably flat configuration.
