    Abstract: A MEMS device (e.g. a piezoelectric actuator), and method of fabrication thereof, having a moveable portion comprising a layer of material (6) (e.g. a substrate layer formed from a substrate wafer) having relatively low rigidity in a direction in the plane of a surface of the layer of material (6), and relatively high rigidity in a direction through the plane; wherein the relatively low rigidity is provided by ridges and grooves (60) in a further surface of the layer of material (6), the further surface of the material (6) being substantially perpendicular to the direction in the plane. The MEMS device may comprise a layer of piezoelectric material (2) bonded to the surface of the layer of material (6). Actuation of the MEMS device (e.g. actuation in the plane of the surface of the layer of material (6)) may be performed by applying an electrical field across the piezoelectric material.

    Abstract: A MEMS device, and method of fabrication thereof, comprising: a wall arranged as a closed loop(for example, comprising a plurality of interconnected lengths (11-18)); and a bridging portion (54) having two ends and an intermediate portion between these ends; the bridging portion (54) is connected at one end to a first portion of the wall and at the other end to a second portion of the wall non-contiguous to the first; whereby when the intermediate portion is displaced in a direction through a plane defined between the two ends, the portions of the wall connected to the bridging portion (54) are each displaced in a respective direction in the plane, and at least one further portion of the wall is displaced in a direction that is in the plane and that is different to the directions that the two portions connected to the bridging portion (54) are displaced in.
