Single-crystal-silicon ribbon hinges for micro-mirror and MEMS assembly on SOI material

摘要

Provided is a micro-electromechanical assembly including an out-of-plane device formed on a device layer of a single crystal silicon substrate. A ribbon structure is formed on the device layer, where the ribbon structure has at least one of a width or depth, which is less than the width or depth of the out-of-plane device. A connection interface provides a connection point between a first end of the out-of-plane device and a first end of a ribbon structure, wherein the ribbon structure and out-of-plane device are integrated as a single piece.
