Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to at least one embodiment of a die including a sidewall having a uniform surface and an irregular surface. The uniform surface may be a scalloped surface and scallops of the scalloped surface are substantially the same size and shape relative to each other. The irregular surface has a more irregular texture as compared to the uniform surface. The irregular surface may include a plurality of randomly spaced high points and a plurality of randomly spaced low points that are between adjacent ones of the high points. In a method of manufacturing the die, a cavity is pre-formed in a substrate and a multilayer structure is formed on the substrate. The multilayer structure includes an active area that is aligned with and overlies the cavity. After the multilayer structure is formed, at least one recess is formed extending into the multilayer structure to the cavity. Forming the recess forms a die structure suspended above the cavity and an extension extending from the die structure to a suspension structure surrounding the die structure. The die structure is released from the die suspension structure by breaking the extension.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide an ejection device for a fluid. The ejection device includes a first semiconductor wafer, housing, on a first side thereof, a piezoelectric actuator and an outlet channel for the fluid alongside the piezoelectric actuator; a second semiconductor wafer having, on a first side thereof, a recess and, on a second side thereof opposite to the first side, at least one inlet channel for said fluid fluidically coupled to the recess; and a dry-film coupled to a second side, opposite to the first side, of the first wafer. The first and the second wafers are coupled together so that the piezoelectric actuator and the outlet channel are set directly facing, and completely contained in, the recess that forms a reservoir for the fluid. The dry-film has an ejection nozzle.

Abstract: The MEMS device has: a sensor body having a functional structure configured to transduce a physical or chemical quantity into a corresponding electrical quantity; and a cap bonded to the sensor body and having a first cavity overlying the functional structure. The cap has a supporting portion and a cover portion that form the first cavity. The supporting portion is bonded to the sensor body. The cover portion is bonded to the supporting portion and has an inner wall delimiting on a side the first cavity and facing the functional structure. The MEMS device further has a first coating that extends within the first cavity on the inner wall of the cover portion.
