Patent number: 8445984Abstract: According to one embodiment, a micro-optical device includes an electro-optical circuit and an annular frame disposed on a surface of a substrate. The electro-optical circuit has an active region that is encapsulated by a window and an interconnect region adjacent at least one edge of the electro-optical circuit. The annular frame extends around an outer periphery of the window and is separated from the window by a gap, the annular frame and the electro-optical circuit form a cavity for placement of a plurality of bonding wires the interconnect that electro-optical circuit to the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2011Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignees: Texas Instruments Incorporated, Amkor Technology, Inc.Inventors: Bradley Morgan Haskett, John Patrick O'Connor, Mark Myron Miller, Sean Timothy Crowley, Jeffrey Alan Miks, Mark Phillip Popovich

Patent number: 7402458Abstract: An improved window frame and window piece for a micromirror assembly is disclosed herein. The window frame includes a stress-relieving contour positioned in the middle of the frame that can absorb the mechanical stresses applied to the window frame from the ceramic base and from the window piece. The window frame may be comprised of a single piece of sheet metal that has been stamped to include a stress-relieving contour. The stress-relieving contour may be comprised of a variety of shapes, including a “U” shape, an inverted “U” shape, a curved step shape, or other combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2005Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Bradley Morgan Haskett, John Patrick O'Connor, Steven E. Smith, Mark Myron Miller, Ivan Kmecko, Jwei Wien Liu, Edward Carl Fisher, Frank O. Armstrong, Daniel C. Estabrook, Jeffrey E. Faris
