System and method of active vibration control for an electro-mechanically cooled device

Patent Lavietes, Anthony D [Hayward, CA]; Mauger, Joseph [Livermore, CA]; Anderson, Eric H [Mountain View, CA]

A system and method of active vibration control of an electro-mechanically cooled device is disclosed. A cryogenic cooling system is located within an environment. The cooling system is characterized by a vibration transfer function, which requires vibration transfer function coefficients. A vibration controller generates the vibration transfer function coefficients in response to various triggering events. The environments may differ by mounting apparatus, by proximity to vibration generating devices, or by temperature. The triggering event may be powering on the cooling system, reaching an operating temperature, or a reset action. A counterbalance responds to a drive signal generated by the vibrationmore » « less

MEMS packaging with etching and thinning of lid wafer to form lids and expose device wafer bond pads

Patent Chanchani, Rajen; Nordquist, Christopher; Olsson, Roy H; ...

In wafer-level packaging of microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices a lid wafer is bonded to a MEMS wafer in a predermined aligned relationship. Portions of the lid wafer are removed to separate the lid wafer into lid portions that respectively correspond in alignment with MEMS devices on the MEMS wafer, and to expose areas of the MEMS wafer that respectively contain sets of bond pads respectively coupled to the MEMS devices.

Hybrid CMOS-MEMS devices adapted for high-temperature operation and method for their manufacture

Patent Griffin, Benjamin; Habermehl, Scott D.; Clews, Peggy J.

A silicon carbide based MOS integrated circuit is monolithically integrated with a suspended piezoelectric aluminum nitride member to form a high-temperature-capable hybrid MEMS-over-MOS structure. In the integrated structure, a post-MOS passivation layer of silicon carbide is deposited over the MOS passivation and overlain by a structural layer of the MEMS device. Electrical contact to refractory metal conductors of the MOS integrated circuit is provided by tungsten vias that are formed so as to pass vertically through the structural layer and the post-MOS passivation layer.

Patent Horenstein, Mark N [West Roxbury, MA]

A micromechanical device comprising one or more electronically movable structure sets comprising for each set a first electrode supported on a substrate and a second electrode supported substantially parallel from said first electrode. Said second electrode is movable with respect to said first electrode whereby an electric potential applied between said first and second electrodes causing said second electrode to move relative to said first electrode a distance X, (X), where X is a nonlinear function of said potential, (V). Means are provided for linearizing the relationship between V and X.

Pre-release plastic packaging of MEMS and IMEMS devices

Patent Peterson, Kenneth A [Albuquerque, NM]; Conley, William R [Tijeras, NM]

A method is disclosed for pre-release plastic packaging of MEMS and IMEMS devices. The method can include encapsulating the MEMS device in a transfer molded plastic package. Next, a perforation can be made in the package to provide access to the MEMS elements. The non-ablative material removal process can include wet etching, dry etching, mechanical machining, water jet cutting, and ultrasonic machining, or any combination thereof. Finally, the MEMS elements can be released by using either a wet etching or dry plasma etching process. The MEMS elements can be protected with a parylene protective coating.
