    Abstract: A mirror micromechanical structure has a mobile mass carrying a mirror element. The mass is drivable in rotation for reflecting an incident light beam with a desired angular range. The mobile mass is suspended above a cavity obtained in a supporting body. The cavity is shaped so that the supporting body does not hinder the reflected light beam within the desired angular range. In particular, the cavity extends as far as a first side edge wall of the supporting body of the mirror micromechanical structure. The cavity is open towards, and in communication with, the outside of the mirror micromechanical structure at the first side edge wall.

    Abstract: The MEMS device has a suspended mass supported via a pair of articulation arms by a supporting region. An electrostatic driving system, coupled to the articulation arms, has mobile electrodes and fixed electrodes that are coupled to each other. The electrostatic driving system is formed by two pairs of actuation assemblies, arranged on opposite sides of a respective articulation arm and connected to the articulation arm through connection elements. Each actuation assembly extends laterally to the suspended mass and has an auxiliary arm carrying a respective plurality of mobile electrodes. Each auxiliary arm is parallel to the articulation arms. The connection elements may be rigid or formed by linkages.

    Abstract: A MEMS force sensor has: a substrate; a fixed electrode coupled to the substrate; and a mobile electrode suspended above the substrate at the fixed electrode to define a sensing capacitor, the mobile electrode being designed to undergo deformation due to application of a force to be detected. A dielectric material region is set on the fixed electrode and spaced apart by an air gap from the mobile electrode, in resting conditions. The mobile electrode comes to bear upon the dielectric material region upon application of a minimum detectable value of the force, so that a contact surface between the mobile electrode and the dielectric material region increases, in particular in a substantially linear way, as the force increases.
