    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for controlling positioning of a movable member of a MEMS microactuator to reduce bouncing and ringing. The system includes control circuitry in communication with the MEMS microactuator. The control circuitry is adapted to linearly increase an actuation signal from a first state to a second state to urge the movable member from a first position to a second position and hold the movable member in the second position. The control circuitry is further adapted to linearly decrease the actuation signal from the second state to the first state to release the movable member to the first position. A transition time is not less than the inverse of one quarter of a natural frequency of the movable member as the movable member moves to the first position.

    Abstract: A device and a method are described which hermetically seals at least one microstructure within a cavity. Electrical access to the at least one microstructure is provided by through wafer vias formed through a via substrate which supports the at least one microstructure on its front side. The via substrate and a lid wafer may form a hermetic cavity which encloses the at least one microstructure. The through wafer vias are connected to bond pads located outside the cavity by an interconnect structure formed on the back side of the via substrate. Because they are outside the cavity, the bond pads may be placed inside the perimeter of the bond line forming the cavity, thereby greatly reducing the area occupied by the device. The through wafer vias also shorten the circuit length between the microstructure and the interconnect, thus improving heat transfer and signal loss in the device.

    Abstract: Mechanical springs and sliders as used in microfabricated actuators to provide an asymmetric spring constant are described. The asymmetric spring constant provides a propensity for deflection towards one direction, and a propensity for separation (i.e. restoration) towards the other direction. The asymmetry and slider system provides a passive mechanical means to achieve faster switching times and higher switch restoring forces.

    Abstract: High-frequency circuit components are disclosed in which parasitic capacitance between a high-frequency circuit element and a substrate is reduced and mechanical strength is improved. An exemplary component has a conductive substrate, a coil as the high-frequency circuit-element, a mounting board including a thin dielectric film on which the coil is mounted, and a support board that couples the mounting board to the substrate. The mounting board is coupled so that it floats relative to the substrate as a result of deliberate warping of the support board.
