20120133005 | COLLAPSED MODE CAPACITIVE SENSOR - A capacitive sensor is configured for collapsed mode, e.g. for measuring sound or pressure, wherein the moveable element is partitioned into smaller sections. The capacitive sensor provides increased signal to noise ratio. | 05-31-2012 |
20120139065 | MEMS DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD - A MEMS manufacturing method and device in which a spacer layer is provided over a side wall of at least one opening in a structural layer which will define the movable MEMS element. The opening extends below the structural layer. The spacer layer forms a side wall portion over the side wall of the at least one opening and also extends below the level of the structural layer to form a contact area. | 06-07-2012 |
20120299130 | ACCELEROMETER AND PRODUCTION METHOD - A MEMS accelerometer uses capacitive sensing between two electrode layers. One of the electrode layers has at least four independent electrodes arranged as two pairs of electrodes, with one pair aligned orthogonally to the other such that tilting of the membrane can be detected as well as normal-direction movement of the membrane. In this way, a three axis accelerometer can be formed from a single suspended mass, and by sensing using a set of capacitor electrodes which are all in the same plane. This means the fabrication is simple and is compatible with other MEMS manufacturing processes, such as MEMS microphones. | 11-29-2012 |
20130056840 | ACOUSTIC TRANSDUCERS WITH PERFORATED MEMBRANES - A MEMS device, such as a microphone, uses a fixed perforated plate. The fixed plate comprises an array of holes across the plate area. At least a set of the holes adjacent the outer periphery comprises a plurality of rows of elongate holes, the rows at different distances from the periphery. This design improves the mechanical robustness of the membrane and can additionally allow tuning of the mechanical behaviour of the plate. | 03-07-2013 |
20130279717 | SENSOR CIRCUIT AND CALIBRATION METHOD - A read out circuit for a sensor uses a feedback loop to bias the sensor to a desired operating point, such as the maximal possible sensitivity, but without the problem of an instable sensor position as known for the conventional read-out with constant charge. The reference bias to which the circuit is controlled is also varied using feedback control, but with a slower response than the main bias control feedback loop. | 10-24-2013 |
20130285173 | ACOUSTIC TRANSDUCERS WITH PERFORATED MEMBRANES - A MEMS device, such as a microphone, uses a perforated plate. The plate comprises an array of holes across the plate area. The plate has an area formed as a grid of polygonal cells, wherein each cell comprises a line of material following a path around the polygon thereby defining an opening in the centre. In one aspect, the line of material forms a path along each side of the polygon which forms a track which extends at least once inwardly from the polygon perimeter towards the centre of the polygon and back outwardly to the polygon perimeter. This defines a meandering hexagon side wall, which functions as a local spring suspension. | 10-31-2013 |
