    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to transducer assemblies or device in which one or more buried cavities are present within a substrate and define or form one or more membranes along a surface of the substrate. One or more piezoelectric actuators are formed on the one or more membranes and the one or more piezoelectric actuators drive the membranes at an operating frequency with an operating bandwidth of the transducer assemblies. Each of the one or more membranes is anchored at respective portions to a main body portion of the substrate to provide robust and strong anchoring of each of the one or more membranes to push unwanted flexure modes outside the operating bandwidth of the transducer assemblies.

    Abstract: A process for manufacturing MEMS devices, includes forming a first assembly, which comprises: a dielectric region; a redistribution region; and a plurality of unit portions. Each unit portion of the first assembly includes: a die arranged in the dielectric region; and a plurality of first and second connection elements, which extend to opposite faces of the redistribution region and are connected together by paths that extend in the redistribution region, the first connection elements being coupled to the die. The process further includes: forming a second assembly which comprises a plurality of respective unit portions, each of which includes a semiconductor portion and third connection elements; mechanically coupling the first and second assemblies so as to connect the third connection elements to corresponding second connection elements; and then removing at least part of the semiconductor portion of each unit portion of the second assembly, thus forming corresponding membranes.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a read/write device for a hard-disk memory system. The read/write device includes a fixed structure; a membrane region including a first and a second membrane, which are constrained to the fixed structure, and a central portion, interposed between the first and second membranes; a first and a second piezoelectric actuator, mechanically coupled, respectively, to the first and second membranes; and a read/write head, which is fixed to the central portion of the membrane region. The first and second piezoelectric actuators can be controlled so as to cause corresponding deformations of the first and second membranes, said deformations of the first and second membranes causing corresponding movements of the read/write head with respect to the fixed structure.
