MEMS DEVICE AND METHOD OF FABRICATION

摘要

A MEMS device, and method of fabrication thereof, comprising: a wall arranged as a closed loop(for example, comprising a plurality of interconnected lengths (11-18)); and a bridging portion (54) having two ends and an intermediate portion between these ends; the bridging portion (54) is connected at one end to a first portion of the wall and at the other end to a second portion of the wall non-contiguous to the first; whereby when the intermediate portion is displaced in a direction through a plane defined between the two ends, the portions of the wall connected to the bridging portion (54) are each displaced in a respective direction in the plane, and at least one further portion of the wall is displaced in a direction that is in the plane and that is different to the directions that the two portions connected to the bridging portion (54) are displaced in.
