  • Patent number: 10858242
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor-type or actuator-type MEMS or NEMS device provided with a stacked stop element comprising —a first flat layer having a first flat electrode intended to be at a first electric potential and a second flat electrode intended to be at a second electric potential different from the first potential, said first flat electrode being movable relative to the second flat electrode in a first direction parallel to the first flat layer, —a second flat layer placed on top of the first flat layer and electrically insulated from the first flat layer by at least one intermediate layer made of an insulating material, the second flat layer comprising a first flat element that is mechanically secured to the first flat electrode, and a second flat element that is mechanically secured to the second flat electrode, characterized in that it further comprises at least one stop element extending from the first flat element or the second flat element in the first direction and projecting from said flat
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10703626
    Abstract: The invention relates to a damping system for a mobile mass (2) of a MEMS device (1), the system being capable of preventing direct contact between the mass (2) and a surface element (3) of the MEMS device (1), the damping system comprising: a mechanical bumper (4) positioned between the mass (2) and the surface element (3); a system (5) for locking/unlocking the bumper (4), which comprises one branch (51) oriented towards the bumper (4) having a blocking end (53) and a pin joint (54) capable of pivoting the branch (51), the locking/unlocking system (5) defining two subsequent positions of the mass (2).
