摘要: Microelectromechanical device comprising a supporting body, containing semiconductor material and a movable mass, constrained to the supporting body with a relative degree of freedom with respect to at least one motion direction, within a range of admissible positions. The device also comprises stopper elements, operable by the movable mass due to movements along the at least one motion direction and configured to apply stop forces to opposite sides of the movable mass, transversely to the at least one motion direction, when the movable mass reaches a respective endpoint of the range of admissible positions, so as to prevent the movable mass from exceeding the respective endpoint.

摘要: A process for manufacturing a MEMS device includes forming a first structural layer of a first thickness on a substrate. First trenches are formed through the first structural layer, and masking regions separated by first openings are formed on the first structural layer. A second structural layer of a second thickness is formed on the first structural layer in direct contact with the first structural layer at the first openings and forms, together with the first structural layer, thick structural regions having a third thickness equal to the sum of the first and the second thicknesses. A plurality of second trenches are formed through the second structural layer, over the masking regions, and third trenches are formed through the first and the second structural layers by removing selective portions of the thick structural regions.

摘要: A microelectromechanical element is provided that includes a first device part and a second device part, and a motion-limiting structure having a first stopper bump and a second stopper bump. The first and second stopper bumps extend from the first device part toward the second device part. When one of the device parts moves toward the other device part in the out-of-plane direction and crosses a displacement threshold, the first stopper bump comes into contact with the second device part before the second stopper bump contacts the second device part, and the second stopper bump comes into contact with the second device part before the first device part contacts with the second device part.
