Micro-electromechanical system package having movable platform
A MEMS package including a fixed frame, a moveable platform and elastic restoring members is provided. The moveable platform is moved with respect to the fixed frame. The elastic restoring members are connected between the fixed frame and the moveable platform, and used to restore the moved moveable platform to an original position.
Method for retaining a device to a substrate
Methods and systems for attaching a device to a substrate for operation of the device under variable conditions includes attaching a device to a substrate, disposing a removable material over a first portion of the device, positioning a second portion of the device adjacent to the substrate, operably attaching a retainer to the substrate adjacent to the device with a part of the retainer disposed over the removable material, and removing the removable material to form a gap between the device and the retainer so that the device is retained on the substrate, and wherein the gap allows the device to move freely relative to the retainer and the substrate in response to changes in temperature.
Package for semiconductor devices sensitive to mechanical and thermo-mechanical stresses, such as MEMS pressure sensors
A surface mounting device has one body of semiconductor material such as an ASIC, and a package surrounding the body. The package has a base region carrying the body, a cap and contact terminals. The base region has a Young's modulus lower than 5 MPa. For forming the device, the body is attached to a supporting frame including contact terminals and a die pad, separated by cavities; bonding wires are soldered to the body and to the contact terminals; an elastic material is molded so as to surround at least in part lateral sides of the body, fill the cavities of the supporting frame and cover the ends of the bonding wires on the contact terminals; and a cap is fixed to the base region. The die pad is then etched away.
Physical quantity sensor
A physical quantity sensor includes a substrate, an anchor portion, a surrounding portion, a detecting element, a moving portion, and a beam portion. The anchor portion is formed on the same side as a principal surface of the substrate and fixed to the substrate. The surrounding portion is formed on the same side as the principal surface of the substrate and surrounds the anchor portion. The detecting element detects a physical quantity as a target of detection. The moving portion is provided with at least a part of the detecting element, formed on the same side as the principal surface of the substrate, and connected to the surrounding portion. The beam portion is formed on the same side as the principal surface of the substrate and connects the anchor portion and the surrounding portion together.
