    摘要: Spring set configurations that include an advantageous combination of spring geometries are disclosed. Spring elements having curved and straight sections, orientation of spring element anchor points with respect to the common radius, orientation of spring element segments with respect to a specific axis, balance of the length of spring elements about the common radius, and mass balance about the common radius can be used to mitigate unwanted out of plane motion. The spring set provides planar motion while reducing undesired out of plane motion making MEMS devices substantially insensitive to the process-induced etch angle variations of the spring elements. The spring set can be used in a MEMS gyro device which maintains the desired resonant modes and consistently low quadrature error even with process variations in manufacturing causing undesirable etch angles.

    摘要: A MEMS pressure sensor may be manufactured to include a backing substrate (104) having a diaphragm backing portion (106) and a pedestal portion (108). A diaphragm substrate (102) may be manufactured to include a pedestal portion (110) and a diaphragm (112) that is mounted to the diaphragm backing portion (106) of the backing substrate (104) to form a stress isolated MEMS die (101). The pedestal portions of the backing and diaphragm substrates form a pedestal (116) of the stress isolated MEMS die (101). The pedestal is configured for isolating the diaphragm from stresses including packaging and mounting stress imparted on the stress isolated MEMS die.

    摘要: A capacitor (100) for use in sensors includes opposed first and second capacitor plates (102, 104), wherein the second capacitor plate (104) is mounted to the first capacitor plate (102) by a flexible attachment (108). The flexible attachment (108) is configured and adapted so that flexure of the attachment (108) causes a change in the spacing between the first and second capacitor plates (102, 104) to cause a change in the capacitance thereacross.
