Zusammenfassung:A micro-generator includes an integrated circuit (IC) wafer. A micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) wafer, with a movable micromechanical element, is bonded to the IC wafer. A plurality of first metal coils associated with a plurality of trenches is arranged in one of the IC wafer and the MEMS wafer. A plurality of micro-magnets is provided in the other of the IC wafer and the MEMS wafer. Each micro-magnet is associated with a respective trench and is formed from a magnet layer deposited, plated or bonded to the MEMS wafer or IC wafer. Movement of the micro-mechanical element generates a voltage in the first metal coils.
