    摘要: Lithographically defined and etched spring structures are produced by various methods such that they avoid the formation of a plated metal wedge on an underside of the spring structure after release. A post is utilized to offset the spring from an underlying substrate by a distance greater than the thickness of the plated metal. A trench is etched into the substrate below the spring to provide clearance during deflection of the spring. Another spring includes a knee (bend) that provides the necessary clearance during deflection. A plating process is limited to the upper side of another spring. A released spring is used as a shadow mask for patterning resist that prevents wedge formation during plating. Various tip arrangements are disclosed that can be utilized with each spring structure

    摘要: In one aspect, an electromechanical switching device is illustrated. The electromechanical switching device includes a relay with at least one first conductive portion, at least one second conductive portion, and at least one actuation component that moves the at least one first conductive portion and the at least one second conductive portion into and out of conductive contact. The at least one first conductive portion includes a conductive stationary end coupled to a substrate and a conductive free-floating end. The at least one actuation component includes an actuation stationary end coupled to the substrate and an actuation free-floating end. The actuation free floating end, when the at least one actuation component is not energized, curls, which curls the conductive free floating end into or out of conductive contact with the at least one second conductive portion.

    摘要: An electrical interconnect structure that includes a spring portion that extends out of a plane. The electrical interconnect including curved regions to improve the lateral compliance of the interconnect. The curved region may be incorporated into a release region of the spring. The release region may include either or both an uplifted region and a planar region. The curves in the release region are arranged to improve the spring contact with a mating surface and also improve lateral compliance compared to prior art spring designs.

    摘要: A method and structure for forming a spring structure that avoids undesirable kinks in the spring is described. The method converts a portion of a release layer such that the converted portion resists etching. The converted portion then serves as an anchor region for a spring structure deposited over the release layer. When the non-converted portions of the release layer are etched, the spring curls out of the plane of a plane.
