  • Hybrid circuit substrate mountable micro-electromechanical component
    Patent number: 6236111
    Abstract: A micro-electromechanical component (10) which includes a micro-system in a chip made by deposit, photolithography and micro-manufacturing of successive layers. The micro-system comprises a plurality of contact pads for electrical connection (16). The chip is provided with a localized external coating (20) to allow its transfer onto a substrate (28). This coating has on its surface a plurality of external metallizations (22) connected electrically through the coating material to the underlying contact pads of the chip. The coated component has approximately the same length and width as those of the chip before coating. The coating is formed only in a localized region on a reduced portion of the chip, essentially in the region of the pads and the metallizations, the sensing part of the micro-system not so coated and thus protected from mechanical constraints caused due to the application and hardening of the coating material.
