MOVING STRUCTURE AND LIGHT SCANNING MIRROR USING THE SAMEAbstractAn impact resistance is enhanced by preventing hinges from being damaged even if an impact is provided from the outside thereto in a semiconductor machine structure. An optical scanning mirror (1) comprises a movable plate (2), the pair of hinges (3) which have one ends connected to both sides of the movable plate (2), respectively, and which form one swing axis of the movable plate (2), a fixed frame (4) so disposed as to surround the movable plate (2) and supporting the other ends of the hinges (3), and stopper parts (6) formed on the fixed frame (4). When the movable plate (2) is displaced sideways, the stopper parts (6) are brought into contact with the side edges of the recesses (2e) of the movable plate (2), and the displacement of the movable plate (2) sideways is restricted. Consequently, the hinges (3) are prevented from being damaged in an impact. Fig 1
Abstract:
An acceleration sensor includes: a rectangular moving electrode (4, 5); a pair of beams (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b) which connect to centers of two opposite sides of the moving electrode (4, 5), and support the moving electrode (4, 5) freely swingably; and first and second fixed electrodes (20a, 20b, 21 a, 21 b) which are provided on one side and other side of a boundary line, respectively, and are arranged to be opposed to a front surface of the moving electrode (4, 5) at a predetermined interval. A straight line that connects the pair of beams to each other is taken as the boundary line. Then, on a back surface of the moving electrode (4, 5), first and second recessed portions (11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, 12, 14) are formed on one side of the boundary line and the other side thereof, respectively.

Abstract:
An acceleration sensor includes a weight portion having a recess section and a solid section, beam portions, a movable electrode provided on the opposite surface of the weight portion from an open surface of the recess section to extend over the recess section and the solid section, a first fixed electrode arranged at the opposite side of the movable electrode from the recess section, and a second fixed electrode arranged at the opposite side of the movable electrode from the solid section. The acceleration sensor detects acceleration using a change in capacitance between the movable electrode and the fixed electrodes caused by rotation of the weight portion. The beam portions are shifted toward the recess section such that an angle between a perpendicular line extending from a gravity center position of the weight portion to the rotation axis and a surface of the movable electrode becomes equal to 45 degrees.
