Publication number: 20240092633Abstract: An MEMS has a substrate and a cavity arranged in the substrate. A movable element is arranged in the cavity, configured to interact with a fluid arranged in the cavity, wherein a movement of the fluid and a movement of the movable element are causally related. A first opening which connects the cavity to an environment of the substrate causes a first phase offset of a first periodic oscillation which is causally related to the movement of the movable element when passing through the first opening. A second opening which connects the cavity to the environment of the substrate causes a second phase offset, different from the first phase offset, of a second periodic oscillation which is causally related to the movement of the movable element when passing through the second opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Anton MELNIKOV, Jörg AMELUNG, Bert KAISER, Michael STOLZ

Publication number: 20230018331Abstract: A device (20) for detecting a temperature on a surface (15) of an optical element (14) for semiconductor lithography. The device includes an optical element (14) having a face (16) irradiated with electromagnetic radiation (7, 8, 43), a temperature recording device (21), and a temperature controlled element (22) configured to be temperature-controlled and arranged so that the predominant proportion of the intensity of the thermal radiation (25.2) detected by the temperature recording device and reflected by reflection at the surface of the optical element is emitted by the temperature-controlled element. Also disclosed are an installation (1) for producing a surface (15) of an optical element (14) for semiconductor lithography and a method for producing a surface (15) of an optical element (14) of a projection exposure apparatus (30), wherein the surface is temperature-controlled and the surface temperature is detected during the temperature control.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Michael STOLZ, Timo LAUFER

Patent number: 10483876Abstract: A micromechanical device with electrostatically caused deflection by a plate capacitor extending along and spaced apart from the neutral fiber of the deflectable element is improved with regard to its manufacturing complexity and/or with regard to its operating characteristics, such as, for example, maximum voltage applicable or deflectability, by using a continuous insulation layer between the distal and proximal electrodes of the plate capacitor, or else the proximal electrode is structured so as to have gaps at the segment boundaries where the distal electrode is mechanically fixed so as to be laterally spaced apart from the distal electrode. Both procedures avoid the problems of generating a roughness of the surface of the proximal electrode facing the distal electrode, as would otherwise be necessitated by etching an insulation layer for providing spacers between the distal and proximal electrodes at the segment boundaries.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Sergiu Langa, Holger Conrad, Harald Schenk, Michael Stolz
