    摘要: A Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) acceleration sensing device, formed of a an elongated sensing element of substantially uniform thickness suspended for motion relative to a rotational axis offset between first and second ends thereof such that a first portion of the sensing element between the rotational axis and the first end is longer than a shorter second portion between the rotational axis and the second end; a stationary silicon substrate spaced away from the sensing element; a capacitor formed by a surface of the substrate and each of the first and second portions of the sensing element; and a valley formed in the substrate surface opposite from the first longer portion of the sensing element and spaced away from the rotational axis a distance substantially the same as the distance between the rotational axis and the second end of the sensing element.

    摘要: Anchor systems and methods anchor components of a Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) device to a substrate. An exemplary embodiment has a trace anchor bonded to a substrate, a device anchor bonded to the substrate, and an anchor flexure configured flexibly couple the trace anchor and the device anchor to substantially prevent transmission of a stress induced in the trace anchor from being transmitted to the device anchor.

    摘要: A stress isolator that allows a sensor to be attached to materials of the same coefficient of thermal expansion and still provide the required elastic isolation between the sensor and the system to which it is mounted. The isolator is made of two materials, borosilicate glass and silicon. The glass is the same material as the mounting surface of the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensors. The silicon makes an excellent isolator, being very elastic and easy to form into complex shapes. The two materials of the isolator are joined using an anodic bond. The construction of the isolator can be specific to different types of MEMS sensors, making the most of their geometry to reduce overall volume.
