Abstract: A micromechanical structure including a substrate, a moveable seismic mass, a detection structure, and a main spring. The seismic mass is connected to the substrate using the main spring. A first direction and a second direction perpendicular thereto define a main extension plane of the substrate. The detection structure detects a deflection of the seismic mass and includes first electrodes mounted at the seismic mass and second electrodes mounted at the substrate. The first electrodes and second electrodes have a two-dimensional extension in the first and second directions. The micromechanical structure has a graduated stop structure including a first spring stop, a second spring stop, and a fixed stop.

Abstract: Embodiments for modifying a spring mass configuration are disclosed that minimize the effects of unwanted nonlinear motion on a MEMS sensor. The modifications include any or any combination of providing a rigid element between rotating structures of the spring mass configuration, tuning a spring system between the rotating structures and coupling an electrical cancellation system to the rotating structures. In so doing unwanted nonlinear motion such as unwanted 2nd harmonic motion is minimized.

Abstract: A MEMS electrostatic piston-tube actuator is disclosed. The actuator comprises two structures. A structure that comprises a plurality of fixed piston-like electrodes that are attached to a base, and form the stator of the actuator. A second structure that comprises a plurality of moving tube-like electrodes that are attached to the body of the upper structure and form the rotor of the actuator. The rotor is attached to the stator through a mechanical spring. The rotor of the actuator provides a translational motion, about the normal axis to the structures. The present piston-tube actuator utilizes a configuration that enables the use of wide area electrodes, and therefore, provides a high output force enabling translation of the rotor.
