摘要:
A method is for manufacturing a microstructure having a thin-walled portion with use of a material substrate. The material substrate has a laminated structure which includes a first conductor layer 101, a second conductor layer 102, a third conductor layer 103, a first insulating layer 104 interposed between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer, and a second insulating layer 105 interposed between the second conductor layer and the third conductor layer. The first insulating layer is patterned to have a first masking part for covering a thin-wall forming region of the second conductor layer. The second insulating layer is patterned to have a second masking part for covering the thin-wall forming region of the second conductor layer. The method includes forming the thin-walled portion in the second conductor portion by etching the material substrate from the first conductor layer down to the second insulating layer via a mask pattern 58 including a non-masking region corresponding to the thin-wall forming region of the second conductor layer.

A micro mirror unit includes a micro mirror substrate, a wiring substrate and an electroconductive spacer disposed between these substrates. The micro mirror substrate includes a moving part, a frame and torsion bars connecting the moving part to the frame. The moving part is provided with a mirror-formed portion. The wiring substrate is formed with a wiring pattern. The electroconductive spacer electrically connects the frame to the wiring pattern, while also providing a space between the micro mirror substrate and the wiring substrate.

A micro-oscillation element includes a movable main section, a first frame and a second frame, and a first connecting section that connects the movable main section and the first frame and defines a first axis of rotation for a first rotational operation of the movable main section with respect to the first frame. The element further includes a second connecting section that connects the first frame and the second frame and defines a second axis of rotation for a second rotational operation of the first frame and the movable main section with respect to the second frame. A first drive mechanism is provided for generating a driving force for the first rotational operation. A second drive mechanism is provided for generating a driving force for the second rotational operation. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are not orthogonal.

A micro-oscillation element includes a frame, a movable functional part, a driving mechanism, a beam extending from the functional part to the driving mechanism, and a torsion connector for connecting the frame and the beam to each other. The connector defines a rotational axis about which the functional part rotates. The rotational axis crosses the longitudinal direction of the beam. The beam is shorter than the functional part in the longitudinal direction of the rotational axis.
