  • Patent number: 11982866
    Abstract: An optical element driving mechanism is provided and includes a fixed assembly, a movable assembly, a driving assembly and a stopping assembly. The fixed assembly has a main axis. The movable assembly is configured to connect an optical element, and the movable assembly is movable relative to the fixed assembly. The driving assembly is configured to drive the movable assembly to move relative to the fixed assembly. The stopping assembly is configured to limit the movement of the movable assembly relative to the fixed assembly within a range of motion.

  • Publication number: 20090061578
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor microstructure comprises: forming a standard CMOS wafer with at least one micro-electro-mechanical structure on a top surface of a silicon substrate, forming at least one sacrificial layer and one resist layer sequentially on the top surface of the CMOS wafer; forming an etching resist layer on a lower rear surface of the silicon substrate, etching the lower rear surface of the silicon base by deep reactive ion etching or wet etching to form a space corresponding to the micro-electro-mechanical structure, and etching the CMOS wafer and the sacrificial layer, respectively, to cause suspension of the micro-electro-mechanical structure. Such arrangements effectively prevent the occurrence of undercut, reduce the exposure and possibility of damage of the micro-electro-mechanical structure, and effectively save the package cost.
