    Abstract: The present invention relates to integrating an inertial mechanical device on top of a CMOS substrate monolithically using IC-foundry compatible processes. The CMOS substrate is completed first using standard IC processes. A thick silicon layer is added on top of the CMOS. A subsequent patterning step defines a mechanical structure for inertial sensing. Finally, the mechanical device is encapsulated by a thick insulating layer at the wafer level.Comparing to the incumbent bulk or surface micromachined MEMS inertial sensors, the vertically monolithically integrated inertial sensors have smaller chip size, lower parasitics, higher sensitivity, lower power, and lower cost.

    Abstract: A micro electromechanical system (MEMS) spring element is disposed on a substrate, and includes a fixing portion and a moveable portion. The fixing portion is fixed on the substrate, and includes an insulating layer, a plurality of metal-fixing layers and a plurality of supporting-fixing layers. The insulating layer is disposed on the substrate. The metal-fixing layers are disposed above the insulating layer. The supporting-fixing layers are connected between the metal-fixing layers. The moveable portion has a first end and a second end. The first end is connected with the fixing portion, and the second end is suspended above the substrate. The moveable portion includes a plurality of metal layers and at least a supporting layer. The supporting layer is connected between the adjacent metal layers, and a hollow region is formed between the supporting layer and the adjacent metal layers. The deformation of the MEMS spring element generated because of the different thermal expansion may be avoided and the working performance of the MEMS spring element can be improved.
