  • Microelectromechanical device with motion limiters
    Patent number: 10429186
    Abstract: A microelectromechanical device that comprises a first structural layer, and a movable mass suspended to a primary out-of plane motion relative the first structural layer. A cantilever motion limiter structure is etched into the movable mass, and a first stopper element is arranged on the first structural layer, opposite to the cantilever motion limiter structure. Improved mechanical robustness is achieved with optimal use of element space.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 1, 2019

  • Microelectromechanical structure with motion limiter
    Patent number: 9415998
    Abstract: A microelectromechanical structure, comprises a first element that includes a first element surface, and a second element that includes a second element surface, and an element gap between the first element surface and the second element surface. At least one of the first element and the second element is mobile. One of the first and second element surfaces includes a convex contact surface and the other one of the first and second element surfaces includes a concave contact surface.
