Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for manufacturing a micro-electro-mechanical device. The method includes the steps of forming, on a substrate, a first protection layer of crystallized aluminum oxide, impermeable to HF; forming, on the first protection layer, a sacrificial layer of silicon oxide removable with HF; forming, on the sacrificial layer, a second protection layer of crystallized aluminum oxide; exposing a sacrificial portion of the sacrificial layer; forming, on the sacrificial portion, a first membrane layer of a porous material, permeable to HF; forming a cavity by removing the sacrificial portion through the first membrane layer; and sealing pores of the first membrane layer by forming a second membrane layer on the first membrane layer.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical mirror device has, in a die of semiconductor material: a fixed structure defining a cavity; a tiltable structure carrying a reflecting region elastically suspended above the cavity; at least a first pair of driving arms coupled to the tiltable structure and carrying respective piezoelectric material regions which may be biased to cause a rotation thereof around at least one rotation axis; elastic suspension elements coupling the tiltable structure elastically to the fixed structure and which are stiff with respect to movements out of the horizontal plane and yielding with respect to torsion; and a piezoresistive sensor configured to provide a detection signal indicative of the rotation of the tiltable structure. At least one test structure is integrated in the die to provide a calibration signal indicative of a sensitivity variation of the piezoresistive sensor in order to calibrate the detection signal.

Abstract: Button device comprising: a fixed support structure; a movable structure, laterally surrounded by said support structure and configured to deform at least in part under the action of an external force; and a fluid-tight protection cap. The movable structure includes a piston element, deformable elements having piezoelectric transducers arranged thereon, and anchor elements that couple the piston element to the deformable elements. When an external force acts on the piston element, the anchor elements transfer this force to the deformable elements and to the piezoelectric transducers, so as to sense the extent of this force.

Abstract: To manufacture an oscillating structure, a wafer is processed by: forming torsional elastic elements; forming a mobile element connected to the torsional elastic elements; processing the first side of the wafer to form a mechanical reinforcement structure; and processing the second side of said wafer by steps of chemical etching, deposition of metal material, and/or deposition of piezoelectric material. Processing of the first side of the wafer is carried out prior to processing of the second side of the wafer so as not to damage possible sensitive structures formed on the first side of the wafer.

Abstract: A MEMS optical device including: a semiconductor body; a main cavity, which extends within the semiconductor body; a membrane suspended over the main cavity; a piezoelectric actuator, which is mechanically coupled to the membrane and can be electronically controlled so as to deform the membrane; a micro-lens, mechanically coupled to the membrane so as to undergo deformation following the deformation of the membrane; and a rigid optical element, which contacts the micro-lens and is arranged so that the micro-lens is interposed between the rigid optical element and the membrane. The micro-lens and the main cavity are arranged on opposite sides of the membrane.
