    摘要: A method is described for manufacturing a miniaturized accelerometer having a narrow bandwidth and behaving as a switch sensitive only to low frequencies such as are contained in earthquakes. The method includes provision of an unbalanced see-saw beam assembly composed of beams 2 and masses 3 at opposite ends of the beams 2. The beams 2 have their suspension at a location with slightly different distances from the masses 3 along a line parallel to and vertically offset from the line connecting centers of gravity of the masses 3.

    摘要: A hermetic media interface for a sensor package is disclosed. Preferably, the hermetic media interface is incorporated into a pressure sensor package for interfacing directly to fluid and/or gaseous media. In one embodiment, the pressure sensor package includes a semiconductor die and a pressure port that are housed in a pre-molded plastic package. A eutectic solder is coupled between the semiconductor die and the pressure port to solder the same to the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die may be metallized to enhance solderability. In an alternative embodiment, the pressure port is made from one or more plastic materials and the pressure port is attached to the semiconductor die with an adhesive. An integral stress-isolation region may optionally be incorporated on the semiconductor die.

    摘要: The present invention comprises the combination of one or more micromachined circuit elements and a micromachined DC-to-DC step-up converter on the same or different substrates, so as to allow the operation of the micromachined circuit element at a different voltage, typically a higher or a negative voltage, in comparison to the input power supply to the system. The micromachined structure of such a converter requires little chip area and is normally fully compatible with the micromachined structure of other micromachined circuit elements, such switches and resonators, providing obvious advantages when formed on the same substrate as such devices. Similarly, micromachined switches have the advantage of providing substantially greater isolation between the signal being switched and the signal doing the switching, and provide a much better ratio between the off resistance to the on resistance than can be achieved with transistor switching devices, such as by way of example, MOS switches. Micromachined resonators also offer many advantages, such as an equivalent of tuned circuits with very high Q factor, and do so without requiring inductors or active devices in oscillatory circuits having a risk of instability, and of allowing the realization of the equivalent of complicated tuned circuits in a small chip area.

The converted material will have different physical, chemical and electrical properties. For example, a SiC tip will be superhard, approaching diamond in hardness. Electrically conductive tips are suitable for field emission.
