    Abstract: System and methods for highly integrated optical readout MEMS sensors are provided. In one embodiment, a method for an integrated waveguide optical-pickoff sensor comprises: launching a laser beam generated by a laser light source into an integrated waveguide optical-pickoff monolithically fabricated within a first substrate, the integrated waveguide optical-pickoff including an optical input port, a coupling port, and an optical output port; and detecting an amount of coupling of the laser beam from the coupling port to a sensor component separated from the coupling port by a gap by measuring an attenuation of the laser beam at the optical output port.

    Abstract: A transportation device is provided having multiple sensors configured to detect and measure different parameters of interest. The transportation device includes at least one monolithic integrated multi-sensor (MIMS) device. The MIMS device comprises at least two sensors of different types formed on a common semiconductor substrate. For example, the MIMS device can comprise an indirect sensor and a direct sensor. The transportation device couples a first parameter to be measured directly to the direct sensor. Conversely, the transportation device can couple a second parameter to be measured to the indirect sensor indirectly. Other sensors can be added to the transportation device by stacking a sensor to the MIMS device or to another substrate coupled to the MIMS device. This supports integrating multiple sensors such as a microphone, an accelerometer, and a temperature sensor to reduce cost, complexity, simplify assembly, while increasing performance.

    Abstract: Methods for making thin silicon layers suspended over recesses in glass wafers or substrates are disclosed. The suspended silicon wafers can be thin and flat, and can be made using methods not requiring heavy doping or wet chemical etching of the silicon. Devices suitable for production using methods according to the invention include tuning forks, combs, beams, inertial devices, and gyroscopes. One embodiment of the present invention includes providing a thin silicon wafer, and a glass wafer or substrate. Recesses are formed in one surface of the glass wafer, and electrodes are formed in the recesses. The silicon wafer is then bonded to the glass wafer over the recesses. The silicon wafer is them etched to impart the desired suspended or silicon wafer structure. In another embodiment of the present invention, the silicon wafer has a patterned metal layer. The silicon wafer is bonded to the glass wafer, with the patterned metal layer positioned adjacent the recesses in the glass wafer. The silicon wafer is selectively etched down to the metal layer, which serves as an etch stop. The metalized layer can provide sharper feature definition at the silicon-metalization layer interface, and may also serve to seal gasses within the recessed cavities of the glass wafer during the silicon etching process. The metal layer can then be subsequently removed.
