    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a switch structure or the like such as a valve, motor, or optical switch, may be constructed based on a thermoresponsive polymer. At a first temperature the thermoresponsive polymer may be in a first volume state, and at a second temperate the thermoresponsive polymer may be in a second volume state. The change in volume of the thermoresponsive polymer may be operative to push or pull the mechanical structures of the switch, valve, motor, optical switch, and so on, to effectuate operation of the structures.

    Abstract: Provided is a microelectro mechanical system (MEMS). The provided MEMS switch includes a substrate; a signal line formed on the substrate; a beam deformed by an electrostatic force to electrically switch with the signal line; and a spring type contact unit formed on the signal line to electrically contact the beam and elastically deformed by an external force. Thus, stability of the contact between the contact unit and the beam is improved. In particular, even when the beam or the contact unit under the beam is unbalanced, the contact unit can elastically contact the beam to obtain a stable electrical switching operation.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a structure comprised of alternating layers of metal and sacrificial material built up using standard CMOS processing techniques, a process for building such a structure, a process for fabricating devices from such a structure, and the devices fabricated from such a structure. In one embodiment, a first metal layer is carried by a substrate. A first sacrificial layer is carried by the first metal layer. A second metal layer is carried by the sacrificial layer. The second metal layer has a portion forming a micro-machined metal mesh. When the portion of the first sacrificial layer in the area of the micro-machined metal mesh is removed, the micro-machined metal mesh is released and suspended above the first metal layer a height determined by the thickness of the first sacrificial layer. The structure may be varied by providing a base layer of sacrificial material between the surface of the substrate and the first metal layer. In that manner, a portion of the first metal layer may form a micro-machined mesh which is released when a portion of the base sacrificial layer in the area of the micro-machined mesh is removed. Additionally, a second layer of sacrificial material and a third metal layer may be provided. A micro-machined mesh may be formed in a portion of the third metal layer. The structure of the present invention may be used to construct variable capacitors, switches and, when certain of the meshes are sealed, microspeakers and microphones.

    Abstract: A plurality of electronic circuits and associated signal lines are positioned at respective locations on a base wafer. A cover wafer, which fits over the base wafer, includes a corresponding like number of locations each including one or more cavities to accommodate the electronic circuit and associated signal lines. The cover wafer includes a plurality of vias for making electrical connection to the signal lines. A multi layer metallic arrangement hermetically seals the periphery of each location as well as sealing the bottom of each via. The joined base and cover wafers may then be diced to form individual die packages.
