Abstract: The disclosure relates to method and apparatus for micro-contact printing of micro-electromechanical systems (“MEMS”) in a solvent-free environment. The disclosed embodiments enable forming a composite membrane over a parylene layer and transferring the composite structure to a receiving structure to form one or more microcavities covered by the composite membrane. The parylene film may have a thickness in the range of about 100 nm-2 microns; 100 nm-1 micron, 200-300 nm, 300-500 nm, 500 nm to 1 micron and 1-30 microns. Next, one or more secondary layers are formed over the parylene to create a composite membrane. The composite membrane may have a thickness of about 100 nm to 700 nm to several microns. The composite membrane's deflection in response to external forces can be measured to provide a contact-less detector. Conversely, the composite membrane may be actuated using an external bias to cause deflection commensurate with the applied bias. Applications of the disclosed embodiments include tunable lasers, microphones, microspeakers, remotely-activated contact-less pressure sensors and the like.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, an electrostatic acoustic transducer comprises a substrate comprising a first material to function as a first electrode, a dielectric layer coupled with the first material, wherein the dielectric layer has one or more cavities formed therein, and a membrane coupled with the dielectric layer to cover one or more of the one or more cavities and to function as a second electrode. The electrostatic acoustic transducer generates an acoustic wave in response to an electrical signal applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the applied electrical signal comprises a direct-current (dc) bias voltage and one or more time-varying electrical signals.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide an electromechanical transducer including a mechanically compliant, elastically deformable array of dielectric shells. A first electrically conductive electrode is disposed on a first surface of the array. A second electrically conductive electrode is disposed on a second surface of the array, where the second surface opposes the first surface. The array is configured to be mechanically compliant and elastically deformable in response to one or more incident forces applied to the electromechanical transducer.
