  • Publication number: 20210188620
    Abstract: For manufacturing an optical microelectromechanical device, a first wafer of semiconductor material having a first surface and a second surface is machined to form a suspended mirror structure, a fixed structure surrounding the suspended mirror structure, elastic supporting elements which extend between the fixed structure and the suspended mirror structure, and an actuation structure coupled to the suspended mirror structure. A second wafer is machined separately to form a chamber delimited by a bottom wall having a through opening. The second wafer is bonded to the first surface of the first wafer in such a way that the chamber overlies the actuation structure and the through opening is aligned to the suspended mirror structure. Furthermore, a third wafer is bonded to the second surface of the first wafer to form a composite wafer device. The composite wafer device is then diced to form an optical microelectromechanical device.

  • Publication number: 20210119105
    Abstract: A transducer includes a supporting body and a suspended structure mechanically coupled to the supporting body. The suspended structure has a first and a second surface opposite to one another along an axis, and is configured to oscillate in an oscillation direction having at least one component parallel to the axis. A first piezoelectric transducer is disposed on the first surface of the suspended structure, and a second piezoelectric transducer is disposed on the second surface of the suspended structure.

  • Publication number: 20200235251
    Abstract: A first wafer of semiconductor material has a surface. A second wafer of semiconductor material includes a substrate and a structural layer on the substrate. The structural layer integrates a detector device for detecting electromagnetic radiation. The structural layer of the second wafer is coupled to the surface of the first wafer. The substrate of the second wafer is shaped to form a stator, a rotor, and a mobile mass of a micromirror. The stator and the rotor form an assembly for capacitively driving the mobile mass.
