摘要： A structure of a hybrid MEMS structure is provided wherein a plate comprises a thin actuatable layer of conductive silicon, such as a MEMS actuatable element, and a thicker handle layer of conductive silicon to provide structural integrity which are separated by a thin oxide, together forming an SOI wafer. This plate is mounted to a substrate, typically ceramic, with the thin actuatable layer facing the substrate and separated by an air gap that is formed by creating, on the substrate, insulator standoffs which come in contact with the plate. A suitable dielectric material useful as a standoff on the substrate is a footrest that permits high aspect ratios.

摘要： In an array apparatus, each MEMS element, comprising an actuatable element and a supportive handle, is mounted over a plurality of electrodes wherein the air gap is controlled by the thickness of the electrodes and not primarily by the structure of the handle. The structure of electrostatic actuation electrodes in specific embodiments is disclosed. While the invention is primarily a technique for reducing the air gap without unduly limiting the thickness of the handle, the invention may also be used to establish an air gap greater than the thickness of the handle.

摘要： Detecting a signal from a touch and hover sensing device, in which the signal can be indicative of concurrent touch events and/or hover events, is disclosed. A touch event can indicate an object touching the device. A hover event can indicate an object hovering over the device. The touch and hover sensing device can ensure that a desired hover event is not masked by an incidental touch event, e.g., a hand holding the device, by compensating for the touch event in the detected signal that represents both events. Conversely, when both a hover event and a touch event are desired, the touch and hover sensing device can ensure that both events are detected by adjusting the device sensors and/or the detected signal. The touch and hover sensing device can also detect concurrent hover events by identifying multiple peaks in the detected signal, each peak corresponding to a position of a hovering object.

摘要： Compensation for signal drift in a touch and hover sensing device is disclosed. A touch and hover sensing device can include a sensing panel to sense an object touching or hovering over the panel, a grounding device to periodically interact with the panel, and a control system to measure capacitance of the panel when the grounding device interacts with the panel, where the measurement captures any signal drift in the panel, and to set the measurement as a new baseline capacitance of the panel. Alternatively, the touch and hover sensing device can forgo the grounding device and configure the control system to measure capacitance of the panel either when there has been no touching or hovering object or when there is a substantially stationary touching or hovering object at the panel for a determinative time period, where the measurement captures any signal drift in the panel, and to set the measurement from this time period as the new baseline capacitance. The control system can apply the new baseline capacitance to touch and hover measurements so as to compensate for the signal drift.

摘要： One embodiment relates to a hybrid micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) based spatial light modulator (SLM) capable of operating in both analog and digital modes. The hybrid SLM includes a substrate having an upper surface, a number of movable ribbons disposed a predetermined distance above the upper surface of the substrate, the ribbons having light reflective surfaces formed on their upper side facing away from the upper surface of the substrate, and a number of standoffs having a predetermined height positioned between a lower surface of the movable ribbons and the upper surface of the substrate. The standoffs are configured to limit the ribbon deflection of movable ribbons toward the upper surface of the substrate when the SLM is operated in digital mode with snap-down voltages applied between the ribbon and drive electronics in the substrate. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
