Abstract: Disclosed are an electrostatically driven comb structure of an MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System), a micro-mirror using the same, and a preparation method therefor. The surface of a comb of the electrostatically driven comb structure of the MEMS has an insulating layer, and the insulating layers on the surfaces of adjacent combs are the same type of insulating layers or different insulating layers; the micro-mirror with the electrostatically driven comb structure of the MEMS successively includes a substrate, an isolating layer and a device layer from bottom to top; the method for manufacturing the micro-mirror prepares the insulating layers by high temperature oxidization, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, low pressure chemical vapor deposition, atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition, physical deposition, atomic layer deposition or stepwise heterogeneous deposition; same or different insulating layers are obtained on the surfaces of the driving comb and the ground comb; when the driving comb and the ground comb adsorb each other, the insulating layers on the surfaces of the two contact without forming a short circuit, so that a good insulating effect is achieved. The electrostatically driven MEMS micro-mirror capable of preventing adsorptive damage provided by the present invention features compact structure and simple process.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process flow for forming a MEMS IMU including an accelerometer and a gyroscope each located in a separate sealed cavity maintained at a different pressure. Formation of the MEMS IMU includes the use of a first vHF release to etch a sacrificial layer underneath a structural layer containing the accelerometer and gyroscope and capping the device under formation to set both cavities at a first pressure. The floor of one of the cavities is formed to including a gas permeable layer. Formation further includes forming a chimney underneath the gas permeable layer and then performing a second vHF release to etch through the gas permeable layer and expose the cavity containing the gas permeable layer so that its pressure may be set to be different than that of the other cavity when the chimney is sealed.

Abstract: A MEMS device comprising: a semiconductor body defining a main cavity and forming an anchorage structure; and a first deformable structure having a first end and a second end that are opposite to one another along a first axis, the first deformable structure being fixed to the anchorage structure via the first end so as to be suspended over the main cavity. The second end is configured to oscillate, with respect to the anchorage structure, along a second axis. The first deformable structure comprises a main body having a first outer surface and a second outer surface, and a piezoelectric structure, which extends over the first outer surface. The main body comprises a bottom portion and a top portion that delimit along the second axis a first buried cavity aligned with the piezoelectric structure along the second axis, wherein a maximum thickness of the top portion of the main body along the second axis is smaller than a minimum thickness of the bottom portion of the main body along the second axis.

Abstract: A MEMS microphone includes a substrate having a cavity, a back plate disposed over the substrate and having a plurality of acoustic holes, a diaphragm disposed between the substrate and the back plate, and an anchor extending from a circumference of the diaphragm to be connected with an end portion of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is spaced apart from the substrate and the back plate to covers the cavity, and the diaphragm senses an acoustic pressure to generate a displacement. The anchor extends from a circumference of the diaphragm to be connected with an end portion of the diaphragm, and is connected with the substrate to support the diaphragm. Thus, the MEMS microphone can prevent a portion of an insulation layer located around the anchor from remaining and can prevent a buckling phenomenon of the diaphragm from occurring.
