Abstract:
Described herein is a microelectromechanical device (10) having a mobile mass (12) that undergoes a movement, in particular a spurious movement, in a first direction (z) in response to an external event; the device moreover has a stopper structure (14, 20) configured so as to stop said spurious movement. In particular, a stopper element (20) is fixedly coupled to the mobile mass (12) and is configured so as to abut against a stopper mass (14) in response to the spurious movement, thereby stopping it. In detail, the stopper element (20) is arranged on the opposite side of the stopper mass (14) with respect to a direction of the spurious movement, protrudes from the space occupied by the mobile mass (12) and extends in the space occupied by the stopper mass, in the first direction (z).
Abstract:
A lid for a MEMS device and the relative manufacturing method. The lid includes: a first board (20) with opposite first and second surfaces (20a, 20b) having first and second metal layers (21a, 21b) disposed thereon, respectively, wherein a through cavity (200) extends through the first board and the first and second metal layers; a second board (23) with opposite third and fourth surfaces (23a, 23b); an adhesive layer (22) sandwiched between the second surface of the first board and the third surface of the second board to couple the first and second boards together such that the through cavity is closed by the second board, thereby forming a recess (200); and a first conductor layer (25a) coating the bottom and the side surfaces (201a, 201b) of the recess. The lid enhances the shielding effect upon the MEMS device.
