    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) package having two MEMS devices with different pressures, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the (MEMS) package includes a device substrate and a cap substrate bonded together. The device substrate includes a first trench and a second trench. A first MEMS device is disposed over the first trench and a second MEMS device is disposed over the second trench. A first stopper is raised from a first trench bottom surface of the first trench but below a top surface of the device substrate and a second stopper is raised from a second trench bottom surface of the second trench but below the top surface of the device substrate. A first depth of the first trench is greater than a second depth of the second trench.

    摘要: A multicast optical switch uses a diffractive bulk optical element, which splits at least one input optical beam into sub-beams, which freely propagate in a medium towards an array of directors, such as MEMS switches, for directing the sub-beams to output ports. Freely propagating optical beams can cross each other without introducing mutual optical loss. The amount of crosstalk is limited by scattering in the optical medium, which can be made virtually non-existent. Therefore, the number of the crossover connections, and consequently the number of inputs and outputs of a multicast optical switch, can be increased substantially without a loss or a crosstalk penalty.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a plurality of MEMs device having a plurality of chambers with different pressures on a substrate, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by providing a device wafer having a plurality of microelectromechanical system (MEMs) devices. A cap wafer is bonded onto the device wafer in a first ambient environment having a first pressure. The bonding forms a plurality of chambers abutting the plurality of MEMs devices, which are held at the first pressure. One or more openings are formed in one or more of the plurality of chambers. The one or more openings in the one or more of the plurality of chambers are then sealed in a different ambient environment having a different pressure, thereby causing the one or more of the plurality of chambers to be held at the different pressure.
