    Abstract: An light deflection device includes an light deflector having first and second piezoelectric actuators which cause a mirror unit to reciprocatingly turn around a resonant axis and a non-resonant axis, respectively, a drive unit which supplies first and second drive voltages, a swing angle fluctuation width detection unit which detects a first swing angle fluctuation width of the mirror unit around the resonant axis, a sensitivity equivalent value detection unit which detects a sensitivity equivalent value on the basis of a detected value of a second drive voltage fluctuation width and a detected value of the first swing angle fluctuation width, and a determination unit which determines whether a non-resonant axis side swing state of the mirror unit around the non-resonant axis is normal on the basis of a detected value of the sensitivity equivalent value.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of making a microelectromechanical (MEMS) device. The method includes, in a single structural layer, affixing a tiltable structure to an anchorage portion with first and second supporting arms extending between the anchorage portion and opposite sides of the tiltable structure, and forming first and second resonant piezoelectric actuation structures extending between a constraint portion of the first supporting arm and the anchorage portion, on opposite sides of the first supporting arm. The method further includes coupling a handling wafer underneath the structural layer to define a cavity therebetween, and forming a passivation layer over the structural layer, the passivation layer having contact openings defined therein for routing metal regions for electrical coupling to respective electrical contact pads, the electrical contact pads being electrically connected to the first and second resonant piezoelectric actuation structures.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a MEMS device having a movable portion. The MEMS device includes: a substrate; a recess, disposed in the substrate; the movable portion, hollowly supported in the recess; and a bump stop, hollowly supported in the recess and configured to restrict a movement of the movable portion by contacting the movable portion. The bump stop includes: a protruding portion, configured to contact the movable portion; and a shock absorbing portion, disposed between the protruding portion and the substrate and configured to absorb at least a part of an impact force applied to the protruding portion by elastic deformation.

    Abstract: A vibrating element includes a movable part, a substrate made of metal, a driving source, and a holding member holding the substrate. The substrate includes a pair of support beam parts, a support part, and a torsion beam part. Each of the support beam parts has a first end part and a second end part. The support part supports the first end part. The torsion beam part swingably supports the movable part. The second end part of each of the support beam parts is provided with a fixing part fixed to the holding member. By adjusting an inclination with respect to the holding member, the fixing part is fixed to the holding member in a state in which each of the support beam parts applies tension to the torsion beam part in a direction away from the movable part in a first direction in which the torsion beam part extends.

    Abstract: Provided is a vibrating mirror element including: a mirror part; a substrate made of metal, including a pair of beams, a support supporting each of the pair of beams, and a torsion part swingably supporting the mirror part; a driving source generating a plate wave that swings the mirror part; and a vibration suppression part suppressing vibration transmitted to the pair of beams. The vibration suppression part is configured to suppress the vibration transmitted to the pair of beams by abutting against the pair of beams at a position between a second mirror end among ends of the mirror part that is opposite a first mirror end near the support and the torsion part in a first direction in which the pair of beams extends.

    Abstract: A method for optical contact bonding components includes: placing a first surface (2a) of a first component (2) onto a second surface (3a) of a second component (3), to form an air film, and pressing the first surface against the second surface for optical contact bonding of the two components. Placing and pressing the first component is carried out by a robot (4). A laminar gas flow (10) is generated between the first and second surfaces with a ventilation device (9). A related apparatus (1) includes: the robot, configured to place the first surface onto the second surface thereby forming an air film. The robot presses the first surface against the second surface, to optically contact bond the first and second components. A holding device (8) holds the second component during the placing and pressing. A ventilation device generates the laminar gas flow between the first and second surfaces.
