    Abstract: The invention concerns a method of fabricating a micromirror (1) in a wafer (3), comprising the following steps: depositing and etching layers (7, 9) forming two arms (5); etching the wafer such that in the back face only a thin portion of the wafer remains in the region of formation of the micromirror and the arms; performing an anisotropic etch, such that the thin portion remains only in the areas of the micromirror and the arms; and performing an isotropic etch to remove the thin portions under the arms, the etching step for forming the arms being performed following their shape and so as to form holes (70) traversing the arms, the holes being positioned at edges of the region separating the micromirror and the wafer on both the side of the micromirror and the side of the portions of the wafer remaining after the anisotropic etching step. The invention also concerns the micromirror.

    Abstract: A Discretely Controlled Micromirror Array Lens (DCMAL) consists of many Discretely Controlled Micromirrors (DCMs) and actuating components. The actuating components control the positions of DCMs electrostatically. The optical efficiency of the DCMAL is increased by locating a mechanical structure upholding DCMs and the actuating components under DCMs to increase an effective reflective area. The known microelectronics technologies can remove the loss in effective reflective area due to electrode pads and wires. The lens can correct aberrations by controlling DCMs independently. Independent control of each DCM is possible by known microelectronics technologies. The DCM array can also form a lens with arbitrary shape and/or size, or a lens array comprising the lenses with arbitrary shape and/or size.

    Abstract: A high performance MEMS scanner (202) is disclosed. In some embodiments, scanner mirror has a wide and short aspect ratio that is similar to rotating polygon facets. Long torsion arms (206) allow large rotation angles including 20° zero-to-peak mechanical and greater. Suspensions (208) couple the scan mirror to torsion arms (206), reducing dynamic mirror deformation by spreading the torque load. "leverage members" (212) at the distal ends of the torsion arms (206) help reduce stress concentrations. Elimination of a mounting frame increases device yield. Heater leads allow for precise trimming of the scanner resonant frequency. A compressive mount holds mounting pads (214) against mounting structures.
