Abstract: An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a bidirectional comb drive actuator. The apparatus may also include a cantilever. The cantilever includes a first end connected to the bidirectional comb drive actuator and a second end connected to an inner frame. In addition, the cantilever may include first and second conductive layers for routing electrical signals. Embodiments of the disclosed apparatuses, which may include multi-dimensional actuators, allow for an increased number of electrical signals to be routed to the actuators. Moreover, the disclosed apparatuses allow for actuation multiple directions, which may provide for increased control, precision, and flexibility of movement. Accordingly, the disclosed embodiments provide significant benefits with regard to optical image stabilization and auto-focus capabilities, for example in size- and power-constrained environments.

Abstract: Electric connection flexures for moving stages of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices are disclosed. The disclosed flexures may provide an electrical and mechanical connection between a fixed frame and a moving frame, and are flexible in the moving frame's plane of motion. In implementations, the flexures are formed using a process that embeds the two ends of each flexure in the fixed frame and moving frame, respectively.

Abstract: Caging structures are disclosed for caging or otherwise reducing the mechanical shock pulse experienced by MEMS device beam structures during events that may cause mechanical shock to the MEMS device. The caging structures at least partially surround the beam such that they limit the motion of the beam in a direction perpendicular to the beam's longitudinal axis, thereby reducing stress on the beam during a mechanical shock event. The caging structures may be used in combination with mechanical shock-resistant beams.

Abstract: A flexure includes a support first end connected to a first frame; a support second end connected to a second frame; and a buckled section connecting the first support end to the second support end. The length of the flexure is substantially greater than its width, and the width of the flexure is substantially greater than its thickness. During operation, the flexure is maintained in a buckled state where the flexure's stiffness is significantly less than in the unbuckled state. In one implementation, a stage includes a flexure array joining a first frame and a second frame, where: the first frame and the second frame are substantially on a plane; the flexure array is substantially on the plane prior to buckling by the flexures of the flexure array; and the flexure array is bent substantially out of the plane after buckling by the flexures.
