Abstract: An array of nanometric dimensions consisting of two or more arms, positioned side by side, wherein the arms are of such nanometric dimensions that the beams can be moved or deformed towards or away from one another by means of a low voltage applied between the beams, whereby to produce a desired optical, electronic or mechanical effect. At nanometer scale dimensions structures previously treated as rigid become flexible, and this flexibility can be engineered since it is a direct consequence of material and dimensions. Since the electrostatic force between the two arms is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, a very considerable force will be developed with a low voltage of the order of 1-5 volts, which is sufficient to deflect the elements towards or away from one another. As preferred, the bulk of the element may be comprises an insulating material, and an upper conductive layer is applied on the upper surface, where the element is formed by a nanolithography method such as nanoimprint lithography (NIL). Alternatively the elements may be formed completely of conductive material, where the elements are formed by a CMOS metalization process.

Abstract: A multi-material resonant thin film beam for a micromechanical sensor having a zero temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) which is the resonant frequency shift with temperature change. One of the materials may be polysilicon and the other material may be silicon nitride or silicon oxide. Each material has a different thermal coefficient of expansion. The proportion of the various materials is adjusted and the specific geometries are determined so that the TCF is zero. One embodiment is a microbeam composed of two polysilicon thin films with a silicon nitride thin film inserted between the polysilicon films. The thickness of the silicon nitride film may be adjusted to trim the TCF to zero. The film of nitride instead may be placed on one side of a polysilicon film to form a beam. Dual or multiple beam resonators likewise may be made with several materials. The nitride may be placed in the shank areas which join and secure the ends of the beams. Such zero TCF beams may be incorporated in microsensor structures for measuring pressure, temperature, strain and other parameters.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch having a high-resonance-frequency beam is disclosed. The MEMS switch includes first and second spaced apart electrical contacts, and an actuating electrode. The beam is adapted to establish contact between the electrodes via electrostatic deflection of the beam as induced by the actuating electrode. The beam may have a cantilever or bridge structure, and may be hollow or otherwise shaped to have a high resonant frequency. Methods of forming the high-speed MEMS switch are also disclosed.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) micro-scale shells are presented with selectively removed regions/openings and which can be used in sensors and actuators, including gyroscopes. Example shells consisting of a suspended ring-shaped resonator that is supported using multiple beams that are not in the plane of the ring and are attached to a support post can be formed. Shells with various sizes and geometries of selectively removed regions and openings allow the creation of micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors and actuators with a wide range of engineered mechanical and electrical properties. These shells can be used to form stacked 3D structures for various types of MEMS sensor and actuator devices, such as resonant gyroscopes, with sense and drive electrodes that conform to the curved profile of the resonant shell using for gyroscopes. 3D shells formed from a starting parent substrate are released and separated from their parent substrate using a number of techniques.
