  • Patent number: 11518673
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a MEMS device includes disposing at least one bonding portion having a smaller bonding area in a region where an airtight chamber will be formed, and disposing a metal getter on a bonding surface of the bonding portion. According to this structure, when substrates are bonded to define the airtight chamber, the metal getter is squeezed out of the bonding position due to the larger bonding pressure of the bonding portion with a smaller bonding area. Then, the metal getter is activated to absorb the moisture in the airtight chamber. According to the above process, no additional procedure is needed to remove the moisture in the airtight chamber. A MEMS device manufactured by the above manufacturing method is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210215735
    Abstract: A three-axis accelerometer measures acceleration in three axes by a single movable mass block, so that a more compact design of the three-axis accelerometer can be achieved. In addition, a plurality of detection capacitors, which forms differential capacitor pairs, are arranged in symmetric configuration with respect to a rotation axis of the movable mass block for sensing functions. Therefore, during sensing motion of a target axis direction, the all other unwanted capacitance changes in other axis direction may be cancelled.

In addition, a plurality of detection capacitors, which forms differential capacitor pairs, are arranged in symmetric configuration with respect to a rotation axis of the movable mass element. Therefore, when the movable mass element rotates, the differential capacitance value is zero, and the detection error caused by rotation of the movable mass element can be avoided.
