  • Publication number: 20240043265
    Abstract: Electronic device including: a MEMS sensor device including a functional structure which transduces a chemical or physical quantity into a corresponding electrical quantity; a cap including a semiconductive substrate; and a bonding dielectric region, which mechanically couples the cap to the MEMS sensor device. The cap further includes a conductive region, which extends between the semiconductive substrate and the MEMS sensor device and includes: a first portion, which is arranged laterally with respect to the semiconductive substrate and is exposed, so as to be electrically coupleable to a terminal at a reference potential by a corresponding wire bonding; and a second portion, which contacts the semiconductive substrate.

  • Patent number: 10770643
    Abstract: A MEMS actuator device of a piezoelectric type formed on a substrate, with a base unit including a base beam element having a main extension in a extension plane and a thickness in a thickness direction perpendicular to the extension plane, smaller than the main extension. A piezoelectric region extends over the beam element. An anchor region is rigid to the base beam element and to the substrate. A base constraint structure is connected to one end of the base beam element and is configured to allow a deformation of the base beam element in the extension plane and substantially reduce a deformation of the base beam element in the thickness direction.
