Zusammenfassung: | Devices are formed on a semiconductor wafer in an interdigitated relationship and are released by deep reactive ion etching. MEMS scanners are formed without a surrounding frame. Mounting pads extend outward from torsion arms. Neighboring MEMS scanners are formed with their mounting pads interdigitated such that a regular polygon cannot be formed around a device without also intersecting a portion of one or more neighboring devices. MEMS scanners may be held in their outlines by a metal layer, by small semiconductor bridges, or a combination. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007 |
