摘要:
Micro-electromechanical acoustic resonators include a substrate having a cavity therein and a resonator body suspended over the cavity. The resonator body is anchored on opposing sides thereof (by support beams) to first and second portions of the substrate. These first and second portions of the substrate, which extend over the cavity as first and second ledges, respectively, each have at least one perforation therein disposed over the cavity. These perforations may be open or filled. The first and second ledges are formed of a first material (e.g., silicon) and the first and second ledges are filled with a second material having a relatively high acoustic impedance relative to the first material. This second material may include a material selected from a group consisting of tungsten (W), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo).

A microelectromechanical resonator includes a resonator body, which is encapsulated within a sealed cavity extending between first and second substrates that are bonded together. The resonator body is anchored to the first substrate by at least a pair of tethers that suspend the resonator body opposite an underlying recess in the first substrate. A resistive heating element is provided, which is configured to indirectly heat the resonator body through convective heating of the cavity. This resistive heating element may be disposed on an inner surface of the second substrate that is exposed to the cavity. The resonator may also include first and second electrical interconnects, which extend through the second substrate and contact respective first and second portions of the resistive heating element.

A periodic signal generator is configured to generate high frequency signals characterized by relatively low temperature coefficients of frequency (TCF). A microelectromechanical resonator, such as concave bulk acoustic resonator (CBAR) supporting capacitive and piezoelectric transduction, may be geometrically engineered as a signal generator that produces two periodic signals having unequal resonant frequencies with unequal temperature coefficients. Circuitry is also provided for combining the two periodic signals using a mixer to thereby yield a high frequency low-TCF periodic difference signal at an output of the periodic signal generator.

Provided is a substrate supporting unit, which includes a support plate on which a substrate is placed, and a heating member disposed within the support plate to heat the support plate. The heating member includes a plurality of first heating wires disposed in a first region of the support plate, and a plurality of second heating wires disposed in a second region of the support plate, which is different from the first region. The first heating wires are connected to each other through one of a series connection and a parallel connection, and the second heating wires are connected to each other through the other of the series connection and the parallel connection.

A structure of a ventilation fan provided with a plurality of blades has a performance curve characterized by a gentle slope throughout the wide operating range instead of an S-hysteresis curve, in order to overcome a fluctuation phenomena of the operating flow rate. The blade tip cross-section lies on a first imaginary cylindrical surface and an angle of attack and pitch angle of the blade tip are formed as respective trajections by intersecting the first cylindrical surface by a second cylindrical surface whose center axis has been rotated about two axes.

The present invention relates to a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) vibrating structure supported by a MEMS anchor system, and includes a single-crystal piezoelectric thin-film layer having domain inversions, which determine certain vibrational characteristics of the MEMS vibrating structure. The MEMS vibrating structure may have dominant lateral vibrations or dominant thickness vibrations. The single-crystal piezoelectric thin-film layer may include Lithium Tantalate or Lithium Niobate, and may provide MEMS vibrating structures with precise sizes and shapes, which may provide high accuracy and enable fabrication of multiple resonators having different resonant frequencies on a single substrate.

The present invention relates to a multi-mode micro-electromechanicalsystems (MEMS) resonator system that may provide low motional resistance and a high quality factor by using a resonating structure that includes multiple parallel-coupled longitudinally resonating bodies, each of which has multiple resonating segments adjacent to one another along an axis. The multi-mode MEMS resonator system may provide high acoustic velocity by using the micro-structure of MEMS technology. The multi-mode MEMS resonator system may include electrostatic transducers, piezoelectric transducers, or both. The present invention includes multiple embodiments that may include different configurations of the resonating structure.

Provided is a dual rotor wind turbine having two rotor assemblies. In the dual rotor wind turbine, an inlet guide vane is placed at a lower location in front of each rotor assembly and a rotor shaft of the rotor assemblies is placed in back of a vertical shaft, so that the rotor shaft is offset from the vertical shaft. Thus, the gravity center of the wind turbine is located in a lower portion of the wind turbine, so that a stable balance of the wind turbine can be realized and the vertical shaft can be smoothly rotated relative to a fixed shaft.

A method of forming a device is provided. The method includes providing a substrate, forming a sacrificial layer over the substrate, and forming a field layer around the sacrificial layer. After formation, both the sacrificial layer and the field layer are planarized. A component is then formed over the planarized sacrificial layer and the planarized field layer. The component has a first electrode and a second electrode and a single crystal wafer disposed between the first and second electrodes. The component includes anchors disposed substantially over the field layer. Once the component is formed, the sacrificial layer is released with an etchant having a selectivity for the sacrificial layer wherein a cavity is formed beneath the component. The cavity allows free movement within the cavity during operation of the device. The etchant does not release the field layer and the component so the field layer remains below the anchors.
