Abstract:
A package combining a MEMS substrate, a CMOS substrate and another MEMS substrate in one package that is vertically stacked is disclosed. The package comprises a sensor chip further comprising a first MEMS substrate and a CMOS substrate with a first surface and a second surface and where the first MEMS substrate is attached to the first surface of the CMOS substrate. The package further includes a second MEMS substrate with a first surface and a second surface, where the first surface of the second MEMS substrate is attached to the second surface of the CMOS substrate and the second surface of the second MEMS substrate is attached to a packaging substrate. The first MEMS substrate, the CMOS substrate, the second MEMS substrate and the packaging substrate are provided with electrical inter-connects.
Abstract:
A medical device comprises a surface, an ultrasonic sensor, and a processor. The surface is configured to interact with skin of a patient during operation of the medical device. The ultrasonic sensor is disposed beneath the surface and configured to ultrasonically measure data with respect to a region above the surface. The processor is coupled with the ultrasonic sensor. Responsive to detection of a finger in contact with the surface, the processor is configured to operate the ultrasonic sensor to capture a fingerprint of the finger. Responsive to authentication that a person associated with the captured fingerprint is authorized to use the medical device, the processor is configured to activate operation of the medical device.
Abstract:
A MEMS sensor is disclosed. The MEMS sensor includes a MEMS structure and a substrate coupled to the MEMS structure. The substrate includes a layer of metal and a layer of dielectric material. The MEMS structure moves in response to an excitation. A first over-travel stop is formed on the substrate at a first distance from the MEMS structure. A second over-travel stop on the substrate at a second distance from the MEMS structure. At least one electrode on the substrate at a third distance from the MEMS structure. The first, second and third distances are all different.
