摘要: A dual-shell architecture and methods of fabrication of fused quartz resonators is disclosed. The architecture may include two encapsulated and concentric cavities using plasma-activated wafer bonding followed by the high-temperature glassblowing. The dual-shell architecture can provide a protective shield as well as a “fixed-fixed” anchor for the sensing element of the resonators. Structures can be instrumented to operate as a resonator, a gyroscope, or other vibratory sensor and for precision operation in a harsh environment. Methods for fabricating a dual-shell resonator structure can include pre-etching cavities on a cap wafer, pre-etching cavities on a device wafer, bonding the device wafer to a substrate wafer to form a substrate pair and aligning and bonding the cap wafer to the substrate pair to form a wafer stack with aligned cavities including a cap cavity and a device cavity. The wafer stack may be glassblown to form a dual-shell structure.

摘要: A moveable micromachined member of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device includes an insulating layer disposed between first and second electrically conductive layers. First and second mechanical structures secure the moveable micromachined member to a substrate of the MEMS device and include respective first and second electrical interconnect layers coupled in series, with the first electrically conductive layer of the moveable micromachined member and each other, between first and second electrical terminals to enable conduction of a first joule-heating current from the first electrical terminal to the second electrical terminal through the first electrically conductive layer of the moveable micromachined member.

摘要: A resonator that includes a piezoelectric vibrator, a frame, and a first node generator between the piezoelectric vibrator and the frame. Moreover, a first connecting arm connects the first node generator to the piezoelectric vibrator that opposes the first, and a first holding arm connects the first node generator to a part of the frame that opposes the first node generator. The first node generator includes a width extending in a second direction, which is orthogonal to a first direction of the first connecting arm, that is a maximum width where the first node generator is closer to the first connecting arm than a center of the first node generator relative to the first direction. Moreover, the width of the first node generator gradually decreases from the maximum width as the first node generator extends towards the first holding arm.
