    摘要: Micro-electro-mechanical mirror device (1) having a fixed structure (2) defining an external frame (2') which delimits a cavity (3); a tiltable structure (4) extending into the cavity; a reflecting surface (4') carried by the tiltable structure and having a main extension in a horizontal plane (XY); an actuation structure (10), coupled between the tiltable structure (4) and the fixed structure (2). The actuation structure (10) is formed by at least one first pair of actuation arms (12A, 12B) configured to cause the rotation of the tiltable structure (2) around a first rotation axis (SA) parallel to the horizontal plane (XY). The actuation arms of the first pair of actuation arms (12A, 12B) are elastically coupled to the tiltable structure (4) through respective coupling elastic elements (14A, 14B) and are each formed by a bearing structure (15) and by a piezoelectric structure (13). The bearing structure (15) of each actuation arm of the first pair of actuation arms (12A, 12B) is formed by a soft region (56) of a first material and the coupling elastic elements (14A, 14B) are formed by a bearing layer (103) of a second material, the second material having greater stiffness than the first material.

    摘要: A microelectromechanical device (10) has: a fixed structure (14) having a frame (14') defining a cavity (13); a tiltable structure (12) elastically suspended above the cavity with main extension in a horizontal plane (xy); a piezoelectrically driven actuation structure (22), which can be biased to cause a desired rotation of the tiltable structure about a first rotation axis (Al) and a second rotation axis (A2); and a supporting structure (15) integral with the fixed structure and extending in the cavity starting from the frame. Lever elements (16) are elastically coupled to the tiltable structure at a first end by respective elastic suspension elements (18) and to the supporting structure at a second end by elastic connecting elements (20), of a torsional type, which define a lever rotation axis (L); the lever elements are elastically coupled to the actuation structure so that their biasing causes, as a result of their rotation about the lever rotation axis, the desired rotation of the tiltable structure about the first and second rotation axes.

    摘要: A MEMS device (20) formed in a die of semiconductor material (24) defining a cavity (23) and having an anchorage portion (24'); a tiltable structure (22) elastically suspended over the cavity (23) and having a main extension in a horizontal plane (XY); a first and a second supporting arm (25A, 25B), extending between the anchorage portion and opposite sides of the tiltable structure; and a first and a second resonant piezoelectric actuation structure (30A1, 30A2), intended to be biased and cause rotation of the tiltable structure (22) about a rotation axis (A). The first supporting arm is formed by a first and a second torsion spring (27A, 28A), which are rigid to movements out of the horizontal plane (XY) and compliant to torsion about the rotation axis and are coupled together at a constraint region (29A). The first and the second resonant piezoelectric actuation structures (38A1, 38A2) extend between the anchorage portion and the constraint region (29A), on a first and a second side, respectively, of the first supporting arm (25A).
