  • Publication number: 20140284603
    Abstract: A MEMS apparatus comprising composite vibrating unit and the manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The vibrating unit includes a stiffness element on which a first material is disposed. A second material being a conductive material is disposed on the first material and is extended to the stiffness element to remove electric charge on first material. When a temperature is changed, a variation direction of a Young's modulus of the first material is opposite to a variation direction of a Young's modulus of the stiffness element. The unique attributes above allow vibrating unit of the MEMS apparatus such as resonator and gyroscope to have stable resonance frequency against the change of temperature.

  • Publication number: 20140245832
    Abstract: A micro-electro mechanical apparatus with interdigitated spring including a substrate, at least one first mass, a movable electrode, a stationary electrode, an anchor and an interdigitated spring is provided. The movable electrode is disposed on the mass along an axial direction. The stationary electrode is disposed on the substrate along the axial direction, and the movable electrode and the stationary electrode have a critical gap there between. The interdigitated springs connects the mass and the anchor along the axial direction. The interdigitated spring includes first folded portions, first connecting portions, second folded portions, and second connecting portions. Each first folded portion includes two first spans and a first head portion. Each second folded portion includes two second spans and a second head portion. A width of the first span and a width of the second span are greater than the critical gap respectively.

  • Publication number: 20130167635
    Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) device comprising two proof masses disposed in the first frame, such that the MEMS device with oscillating assemblies senses the angular velocity in the two axes, respectively. The MEMS device with oscillating assemblies further comprises a lever structure and two oscillating assemblies connecting at two opposite ends of the lever structure, such that the oscillating assemblies move in opposite directions synchronously. The MEMS device with oscillating assemblies further comprises a spring assembly connected between the proof mass and a movable electrode, restricting the proof mass to drive the movable electrode to only move in a specific direction.
