Abstract

A comb drive for MEMS device includes a stator and a rotor displaceable relative to the stator in a first direction. The stator includes stator comb fingers and the rotor includes rotor comb fingers. The stator comb fingers are coupled to two high impedance nodes to form high impedance node domains arranged in the first direction. The rotor comb fingers are coupled to two oppositely biased electrodes to form oppositely biased domains. Pairs of capacitors with opposite acoustic polarity are respectively formed between the high impedance node domains and the oppositely biased domains. The comb drive of the present invention has increased electrostatic sensitivity for a given unit cell cross-sectional area whilst maintaining an acceptable capacitance and linearity of voltage signal vs displacement. Extra force shim unit cells may be used, which allows for the stiffness between the rotor and stator to be controlled and reduced to zero for a particular displacement range, without impacting sensitivity.

Abstract

A microelectromechanical system includes a backplate and a diaphragm. The backplate includes spaced stator elements with voids formed therebetween. The stator element includes a first conductive element. The diaphragm includes a plurality of corrugations facing the voids respectively. Each corrugation includes a groove formed at a surface thereof away from the backplate. The corrugation includes a second conductive element. The diaphragm is moveable with respect to the backplate in response to a pressure exerted thereon to cause the corrugations to be moved into or out of the corresponding voids, thereby changing the capacitance formed between the first and second conductive elements. The corrugations are defined by grooves formed at surfaces away from the backplate, which facilitate to control the compliance of the diaphragm and reduce stiffness of the diaphragm. The corrugation can be formed with lower aspect ratios, which allows it to be formed using standard front side processes.

Abstract

The invention provides a piezoelectric micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) microphone includes a base with a cavity and a piezoelectric diaphragm arranged on the base. The base has a ring base and a support column. The piezoelectric diaphragm includes a plurality of diaphragm sheets. Each diaphragm sheet has a fixing end connected with the support column and a free end suspended above the cavity. The widths of the diaphragm sheets are gradually increased from the fixing ends to the free ends. According to the piezoelectric MEMS microphone provided by the invention, under sound pressure, the free ends vibrate, wide free ends drive short fixing ends, and the diaphragm sheets close the fixing ends generate greater deformation to generate more charge. Therefore, the sensitivity can be further improved.

Abstract

A resonator includes a silicon substrate, a bottom electrode stacked on a portion of the silicon substrate, a piezoelectric layer covering the bottom electrode and another portion of the silicon substrate, a top electrode stacked on the piezoelectric layer, and a Bragg reflecting ring. The Bragg reflecting ring is formed on a side of the piezoelectric layer connected to the top electrode and surrounds the top electrode. The Bragg reflecting ring includes a Bragg high-resistivity layer and a Bragg low-resistivity layer alternately arranged along the radial direction of the Bragg reflecting ring. An acoustic impedance of the Bragg high-resistivity layer is greater than an acoustic impedance of the Bragg low-resistivity layer. The Bragg reflecting ring forms reflection surfaces to reflect the laterally propagating clutter waves, thereby suppressing the parasitic mode in the working frequency band, improving the frequency response curve of the resonator and the overall performance of the resonator.
