    Abstract: A MEMS device with movable MEMS structure and electrodes is produced by fabricating electrodes and shielding the electrodes with diamond buttons during subsequent fabrication steps, such as the etching of sacrificial oxide using vapor HF. In some embodiments, the diamond buttons are removed after the movable MEMS structure is released.

    Abstract: A microchip has a base die with a conductive interconnect and an isolation trench around at least a portion of the conductive interconnect, and a cap die secured to the base die. A seal, formed from a metal material, is positioned between the base die and the cap die to secure them together. The microchip also has a blocking apparatus, between the isolation trench and the metal seal, that at least in part prevents the metal material from contacting the interconnect.

    Abstract: A microfluidic ion detector for detecting heavy metal ions in liquid and particulate matter from gas samples is described. The microfluidic ion detector includes a sample extraction structure for extracting sample ions from a sample liquid or extracting sample ions from the particulate matter of a gas sample, a separation structure for separating sample ions of different types once extracted, and a detection structure for detecting the sample ions. The microfluidic ion detector also includes a reference reservoir providing a reference ion against which the sample may be calibrated based on the operation of the separation structure. A portable, self-calibrating ion detector may be realized by including the described components on a single substrate.

    Abstract: One or more conductive shielding plates are formed in a standard ASIC wafer top metal layer, e.g., for blocking cross-talk from MEMS device structure(s) on the MEMS wafer to circuitry on the ASIC wafer when the MEMS device is capped directly by the ASIC wafer in a wafer-level chip scale package. Generally speaking, a shielding plate should be at least slightly larger than the MEMS device structure it is shielding (e.g., a movable MEMS structure such as an accelerometer proof mass or a gyroscope resonator), and the shielding plate cannot be in contact with the MEMS device structure during or after wafer bonding. Thus, a recess is formed to ensure that there is sufficient cavity space away from the top surface of the MEMS device structure. The shielding plate is electrically conductive and can be biased, e.g., to the same voltage as the opposing MEMS device structure in order to maintain zero electrostatic attraction force between the MEMS device structure and the shielding plate.
