    摘要: Described herein is an accelerometer that can be sensitive to acceleration, but not anchor motion due to sources other than acceleration. The accelerometer can employ a set of electrodes and/or transducers that can register motion of the proof mass and support structure and employ and output-cancelling mechanism so that the accelerometer can distinguish between acceleration and anchor motion due to sources other than acceleration. For example, the effects of anchor motion can be cancelled from an output signal of the accelerometer so that the accelerometer exhibits sensitivity to only acceleration.

    摘要: A Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) structure comprises a MEMS wafer. A MEMS wafer includes a handle wafer with cavities bonded to a device wafer through a dielectric layer disposed between the handle and device wafers. The MEMS wafer also includes a moveable portion of the device wafer suspended over a cavity in the handle wafer. Four methods are described to create two or more enclosures having multiple gas pressure or compositions on a single substrate including, each enclosure containing a moveable portion. The methods include: A. Forming a secondary sealed enclosure, B. Creating multiple ambient enclosures during wafer bonding, C. Creating and breaching an internal gas reservoir, and D. Forming and subsequently sealing a controlled leak/breach into the enclosure.

    摘要: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for mitigating or reducing stiction in electromechanical systems devices. The systems and methods described herein include a piezo-electric layer disposed over at least a portion of the deformable region of the electromechanical systems devices. To reduce or mitigate stiction, a restorative mechanical force is generated by reverse piezo-electric effect to return the deformable region of the electromechanical systems devices to the un-deformed state.

    摘要: The displacement sensor employing a magnetoresistive effect laminate structure consisting of a bottom ferromagnetic layer with a field oriented in one direction, a middle non-magnetic layer, and a top softer magnetic layer. The top softer magnetic layer has two regions of opposing magnetic fields separated by a domain wall, where the magnetic field in one region is aligned with the bottom layer magnetic field. The resistance of the laminate structure changes as the location of the domain wall changes. In one improvement, the domain wall is induced by a pair of opposing semicylindrical magnets magnetized along their semicylindrical surface, forming parallel field lines and leading to a stronger domain wall. In another improvement, there are four laminate structures in an electrical bridge configuration. The bridge is excited by an alternating current source and the output is synchronously measured. The laminate structures are arranged in either a stack or such that pairs of laminate structures are deposited on opposite sides of a common substrate.
