Abstract: A microelectromechanical system includes an enclosure defining a cavity and an opening communicating with the cavity; a membrane mounted at the opening; a cantilever located within the cavity, the at least one cantilever comprising a first end, a second end and a fulcrum located between the first end and the second end; a plunger positioned between the membrane and the cantilever and configured to transfer displacement of the membrane to the first end of the cantilever; and a sensing member connected to the second end of the cantilever. The distance between the first end and the fulcrum is less than that between the second end and the fulcrum. The microelectromechanical system has the advantages of high SNR, small package size and high sensitivity. The membrane has a stiffness order of magnitude higher than a conventional membrane, which avoids mechanical collapse and large DC deformation under 1 atm.

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.

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.
