    Abstract: A scanning microelectromechanical reflector system comprising a reflector with a reflector body, a first cavity vertically aligned with the reflector body above the device plane and a second cavity vertically aligned with the reflector body below the device plane. The reflector also comprises a central attachment point located within a central opening in the reflector body. One or more flexures extend from the sidewalls of the central opening to the central attachment point. The flexures allow the central attachment point to remain stationary in the device plane when actuator units tilt the reflector body out of the device plane. The reflector system comprises a central support structure which extends through the cavity to the central attachment point of the reflector.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a micromechanical device layer is performed on a device wafer comprising a single layer of homogenous material. The method comprises patterning a first mask on a first face of the device wafer, the first mask patterning at least lateral dimensions of comb structures and outlines of large device structures. First trenches are etched, the first trenches defining the lateral dimensions of the at least comb structures and outlines of large device structures in a single deep etching process. Recession etching may be used on one or two faces of the device wafer for creating structures at least partially recessed below the respective surfaces of the device wafer. A double mask etching process may be used on one or two faces of the device wafer for creating structures at least partially recessed to mutually varying depths from the respective face of the device wafer.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a structural layer in a silicon wafer is provide. The silicon wafer has at least two areas vertically recessed to at least two recess depths, with the first recess depth being greater than the second recess depth. The method includes forming a silicon dioxide pattern, a mask layer and a silicon dioxide pad layer, etching the structural layer in a main LOCOS oxidation process, and removing the formed layers exposing the recessed structural layer. The manufactured structural layer has a bump structure with the recess depth smaller than the second recess depth, and the recessed area has no edge steps.

    Abstract: A compact and robust microelectromechanical reflector system that comprises a support, a reflector, a peripheral edge of the reflector including edge points, and suspenders including piezoelectric actuators and suspending the reflector from the support. Two pairs of suspenders are fixed from two fixing points to the support such that in each pair of suspenders, first ends of a pair of suspenders are fixed to a fixing point common to the pair. A first axis of rotation is aligned to a line running though the two fixing points, and divides the reflector to a first reflector part and a second reflector part. In each pair of suspenders, a second end of one suspender is coupled to the first reflector part and a second end of the other suspender is coupled to the second reflector part.

    Abstract: A method creates MEMS structures by selectively etching a silicon wafer that is patterned by using a masking layer. The method comprises depositing and patterning a first mask on a silicon wafer to define desired first areas on the wafer to be etched. First trenches are etched on parts of the wafer not covered by the first mask. The first trenches are filled with a deposit layer. A part of the deposit layer is removed on desired second areas to be etched and a remainder is left on areas to function as a second mask to define final structures. Parts of the wafer on the desired second areas is etched, and the second mask is removed. A gyroscope or accelerator can be manufactured by dimensioning the structures.
