Abstract: A MEMS device includes a membrane portion, a piezoelectric layer made of a piezoelectric single crystal, a first electrode on a first surface of the piezoelectric layer, a second electrode on a second surface of the piezoelectric layer opposite to the first direction, and a first layer covering the first surface of the piezoelectric layer. At least a portion of the piezoelectric layer is included in the membrane portion. Each of the first electrode and the second electrode has a tapered cross-sectional shape with a width which decreases with increasing distance from the piezoelectric layer on a cross section along a plane vertical to the surface in the first direction.

Abstract: Representative methods for sealing MEMS devices include depositing insulating material over a substrate, forming conductive vias in a first set of layers of the insulating material, and forming metal structures in a second set of layers of the insulating material. The first and second sets of layers are interleaved in alternation. A dummy insulating layer is provided as an upper-most layer of the first set of layers. Portions of the first and second set of layers are etched to form void regions in the insulating material. A conductive pad is formed on and in a top surface of the insulating material. The void regions are sealed with an encapsulating structure. At least a portion of the encapsulating structure is laterally adjacent the dummy insulating layer, and above a top surface of the conductive pad. An etch is performed to remove at least a portion of the dummy insulating layer.

Abstract: Microelectronic structure comprising a mobile mass mechanically linked to a first and to a second mechanical element by first and second mechanical linking device respectively, a polarisation source for the second mechanical linking device. The second mechanical linking means comprises two linking elements and a thermal reservoir placed between the linking elements, where at least one of the linking elements is made of piezoresistive material, where at least one of the first and second linking elements exhibit thermoelasticity properties. The thermal reservoir exhibits a thermal capacity which is different from those of the linking elements. The second linking device and the mobile mass are arranged relative to each other such that displacement of the mobile mass applies a mechanical stress to the second linking means.

Abstract: A plurality of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) transducers in a phased array are coupled to a flexible substrate using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for conformal ultrasound scanning. Each transducer comprises a cantilever, magnetic material deposited on the cantilever, and a solenoid positioned relative to the magnetic material. The carbon nanotubes are grown on the cantilever and mechanically couple the transducer to one side of the flexible substrate. The other side of the flexible substrate is applied to a surface of a part under inspection, and the transducers are electrically connected to a processer to cause movement of the cantilevers when the solenoids are energized by the processor. The movement of the cantilevers results in movement of the carbon nanotubes, which imparts a force to the flexible substrate that results in ultrasound waves, which permeate the part. Returns from the ultrasound waves are interpreted by the processor to generate images of the part.

Abstract: A MEMS structure that provides an improved way to selectively control electromechanical properties of a MEMS device with an applied voltage. The MEMS structure includes a capacitor element that comprises at least one stator element, and at least one rotor element suspended for motion parallel to a first direction in relation to the stator element. The stator element and the rotor element form at least one capacitor element, the capacitance of which varies according to displacement of the rotor element from an initial position. The stator element and the rotor element are mutually oriented such that in at least one range of displacements of the rotor element from an initial position, the second derivative of the capacitance with respect to the displacement has negative values.
