摘要: A microelectromechanical device comprising a mechanical structure extending along a longitudinal direction, linked to a planar substrate by an anchorage situated at one of its ends and able to flex in a plane parallel to the substrate, the mechanical structure comprises a joining portion, which links it to each anchorage and includes a resistive region exhibiting a first and second zone for injecting an electric current to form a resistive transducer, the resistive region extending in the longitudinal direction from an anchorage and arranged so a flexion of the mechanical structure in the plane parallel to the substrate induces a non-zero average strain in the resistive region and vice versa; wherein: the first injection zone is carried by the anchorage; and the second injection zone is carried by a conducting element not fixed to the substrate and extending in a direction, termed lateral, substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

摘要: An electromechanical device comprises a substrate structure, a set of electrodes, one or more anchor trenches, and one or more multi-faced components. For example, each of the one or more multi-faced components comprises an isolation region formed on a first portion of the surface of the component, a high resistance region formed on a second portion of the surface of the component, and a low resistance region formed on a third portion of the surface of the component. For example, the synapse device is configured to provide an analog resistive output, ranging between the high resistance region and the low resistance region, from at least one of the set of electrodes in response to a pulsed voltage input to at least another one of the set of electrodes.

摘要: At the first etching step of etching an SOI substrate from a first silicon layer side, a portion of a first structure formed of the first silicon layer is formed as a pre-structure having a larger shape than a final shape. At the mask formation step of forming a final mask on a second silicon layer side of the SOI substrate, a first mask corresponding to the final shape of the first structure is formed in the pre-structure. At the second etching step of etching the SOI substrate from the second silicon layer side, the second silicon layer and the pre-structure are, using the first mask, etched to form the final shape of the first structure.

摘要: A microelectromechanical pressure sensor structure that comprises a planar base and side walls and a diaphragm plate. The side walls extend circumferentially away from the planar base to a top surface of the side walls. The planar base, the side walls and the diaphragm plate are attached to each other to form a hermetically closed gap in a reference pressure, and a top edge of the inner surfaces of the side walls forms a periphery of a diaphragm. The diaphragm plate comprises one or more planar material layers of which a first planar material layer spans over the periphery of the diaphragm. The top surface of the side walls comprises at least one isolation area that is not covered by the first planar material layer.

摘要: A flexible high-voltage thin-film transistor includes a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a dielectric layer, and a flexible semiconductor layer. The flexible semiconductor layer serves as a channel for the transistor and is in electrical communication with the source electrode and the drain electrode. The drain electrode is laterally offset from the gate electrode. The dielectric layers is configured and arranged with respect to other elements of the transistor such that the transistor is stably operable to facilitate switching of relatively high drain voltages using relatively small controlling gate voltages.
