摘要： A micro-electromechanical device has a substrate (10), a movable element, movable towards the substrate by electrostatic forces on electrodes, facing surfaces of the movable element and the substrate being shaped such that one or more venting channels (VC) are defined by the facing surfaces when they are in a closed position, configured to enable fluid between the facing surfaces to flow across the facing surfaces, to enter or exit the area between the facing surfaces. Such channels can enable fluid damping of the movement of the moveable element to be controlled. Increasing the flow entering or exiting the area between the facing surfaces, can reduce such damping, and hence increase speed of opening and closing of the device. The channels can connect to holes in the electrodes.

摘要： A MEMS device comprises first and second opposing electrodes (42,46), wherein the second electrode (46) is electrically movable to vary the electrode spacing between facing first sides of the first and second electrodes. A first gas chamber (50) is provided between the electrodes, at a first pressure, and a second gas chamber (52) is provided on the second, opposite, side of the second electrode at a second pressure which is higher than the first pressure. This arrangement provides rapid switching and with damping of oscillations so that settling times are reduced.

摘要： A MEMS tunable capacitor comprises first and second opposing capacitor electrodes (10,12), wherein the second capacitor electrode (12) is movable by a MEMS switch to vary the capacitor dielectric spacing, and thereby tune the capacitance. A tunable dielectric material (14) and a non-tunable dielectric material are in series between the first and second electrodes. The tunable dielectric material occupies a dimension gd of the electrode spacing, and the non-tunable dielectric material occupies a dimension g of the electrode spacing. A third electrode (20) faces the movable second electrode (12) for electrically controlling tunable dielectric material. A controller is adapted to vary the capacitor dielectric spacing for a first continuous range of adjustment of the capacitance of the MEMS capacitor, and to tune the dielectric material (14) for a second continuous range of adjustment of the capacitance of the MEMS capacitor, thereby to provide a continuous analogue range of adjustment including the first and second ranges. This arrangement provides independent control of the MEMS function and the dielectric tuning function, and enables a continuous adjustability.

摘要： A micro-electromechanical resonator comprising a material having anisotropic directional elasticity characteristics. A shape of the resonator is such that a first distance in a first direction from a centroid of the resonator to a first point on a peripheral edge of the resonator is greater than a second distance in a second direction from the centroid to a second different point on the edge. This is true for every first direction and every second direction wherein the material has a lesser modulus of elasticity in the first direction than the second direction.

摘要： A tuneable capacitor arrangement for RF use has two series coupled MEMS variable capacitors (C1,C2;C4,C5,C6,C7), varied according to a control signal. The series coupling enables the capacitor to withstand a higher voltage since this is shared by the individual capacitors in a series coupled arrangement. An increase in size of electrodes for each capacitor is compensated by a reduction in size of the springs supporting movable electrodes. These springs can have a larger stiffness value since the capacitance is larger. This means shorter springs, which can also result in a reduction in problems of stiction, resistance, and slow switching. The capacitances have a fixed and a movable electrode, with the RF signal coupled to the fixed electrode to avoid the springs needing to carry an RF signal. This can reduce the problems of inductance and resistance in the springs.

摘要： A MEM device has a movable element (30), a pair of electrodes (e1, e2) to move the movable element, one electrode having an independently movable section (e3), resiliently coupled to the rest of the respective electrode to provide additional resistance to a pull in of the electrodes. This can enable a higher release voltage Vrel, and thus reduced risk of stiction. Also, a ratio of Vpi to Vrel can be reduced, and so a greater range of voltage is available for movement of the movable element. This enables faster switching. The area of the independently movable section is smaller than the rest of the electrode, and the spring constant of the resilient coupling is greater than that of the flexible support. Alternatively, the movable element can have a movable stamp section resiliently coupled and protruding towards the substrate to provide an additional resistance to pull in when it contacts the substrate.
