具体实施方式
图1以简化的方式表示出本发明各方面所涉及的微机电系统(MEMs)器件100的一般的结构。参考图1,可以看到MEMs器件100包括两个元件,分别被标为102和104。元件102和元件104每个都有公共的下层或底层(lower or base layer)106。元件102具有上层(upper layer)108,其与底层106被一定数目支柱110形的支撑件隔开。相似地,元件104具有上层112,其与基层106被支柱114形的支撑件隔开。显然,支柱114比支柱110高,而因此层106和层108之间的间隙116的高度比层112和层106之间的间隙118的高度小。由于间隙116和118的高度的差别,所需的从未被驱动状态分别静电地驱动层108和112为被驱动状态(未示出)的操作电压是不同的,未被驱动的状态相应于附图中图1所示的状态,其中层106和112接触基层116。因此,任何驱动机构必须考虑操作电压的差别。
如上所述,图1被表示为应用本发明各个方面的一般MEMs器件简图。在实际的实施例中,MEMs器件100可以包括多个阵列,每个阵列包括元件如元件102或108。因此,每个阵列中的元件将要求不同的操作电压。这样的MEMs器件的例子被美国专利6040937所描述的IMOD显示器提供。在这个例子中,有三个阵列,每个包括IMODs形式的元件,IMODs被设计有特定的光学特征,该光学特征源自每个IMOD中的空气间隙的尺寸。每个阵列只包括具有特定光学特征的IMODs。因此,要求不同的操作电压以驱动每个阵列中的IMODs。
本发明的实施例考虑了驱动MEMs器件的问题,如上所述,其中MEMs器件要求不同的操作电压。在本发明说明的具体实施例中,将参考美国专利6040937所述的MEMs器件。然而,应该注意,本发明可应用到任何MEMs器件,包括元件,其中每个元件要求不同的操作电压以驱动或操作元件,这导致元件几何形状构型或状态被改变。这样的元件可包括IMODs,开关,红外(IR)检波器,等,其中几何形状构型的改变包括驱动元件的一个层和另一个层接触。被驱动的层被称为被驱动层以和未被驱动层区分开来。
根据本发明的实施例,操作每个元件所要求的操作电压被规范化。这是通过改变每个阵列中的元件的几何形状实现的。自然地,传递限定的特征至元件的元件几何形状的方面没有被改变。因此,在美国专利6040937中的IMOD显示器的情形中,每个元件(IMOD)中空气间隙的高度给出了IMOD的限定的光学特征,且因此IMOD的几何形状没有被改变的一个方面是空气间隙的高度。
附图中图2表示一个例子,其中图1中所示的元件102的几何形状通过增加支柱110的数量和通过减少其间的间隔而被改变。因此,层108更大程度地被支柱110支撑,而因此要求更高的操作电压驱动层108与层106接触。通过选择支柱110的数目和其间的间隔,可以理解所需的驱动元件102和108的操作电压将被规范化。
在其它实施例中,被驱动层的几何形状可以被改变以增加或减少提供于其中的支撑程度。这在附图3A和3B中作了说明。参考图3A和3B,显示了层300,其与图1和2中的层108和112类似。由于突起302,层300具有不同于层108和112的几何形状,突起302形成支撑于支柱306的范围。因此,突起的厚度和长度可变化以改变对层300的支撑程度。假定驱动层300至附图的平面上需要一个操作电压,可以理解图3A中的突起302比图3B中的突起302提供了更大程度的支撑。因此,将要求比附图中图3A中较小的操作电压驱动附图中图3C中的层300。本发明的实施例使用说明于附图中图3A和3C中说明的原理规范化驱动MEMs中元件所要求的操作电压,其中操作性的上层(被驱动层)被驱动跨过间隙朝向操作性下层。当间隙大时,突起的几何形状按照图3A和图3B中的所示的原理变化,以减少提供给被驱动层的支撑程度。另一个方面,当间隙小时,支撑件的几何形状被改变以提供对被驱动层更大程度的支撑。以这种方式,无论间隙的尺寸如何,通过它,层必将被驱动,所需的驱动层的电压将被规范化。
虽然没有在附图的图1或2中示出,驱动层108和112的驱动机构包括静电驱动层108和112向下朝向基层106的电极。电极被置于层106上。一个电极的例子一般在附图的图4中用数字400表示。根据本发明的某些实施例,为了规范化驱动或操作MEMs中的元件所需的电压,电极400的配置可以被改变。改变电极的配置可包括改变电极的形状,或提供开口于其中,例如,示于电极400中的狭缝402。因此,如果层被跨过小间隙被驱动,电极可以具有狭缝,如狭缝402,其用于减少由电极产生的有效静电力。这允许操作电压被规范化而无论层必须被驱动跨过的间隙的高度如何。
根据本发明的其它实施例,改变元件的几何形状以规范化操作电压可包括改变被驱动层硬度。一种改变被驱动层的方式包括改变其杨氏模量。因此被要求被驱动跨过小的空气间隙的层由具有比被驱动跨过较大空气间隙的层的杨氏模量较高。
改变被驱动层的另一个方法是形成开口于其上以减小其硬度。如图5所示,其中层500除了突起502,还有开口或狭缝504形成于其上。
本发明的不同方面可组合应用,因此,在图5所示的例子中,可看到虽然层500具有形成于其上的狭缝,层本身将被支撑在突起502上,其具有一定的厚度,该厚度被选择以使其对层500提供一定程度的支撑,以允许所需的操作层500的操作电压规范化。
附图中图6给出IMOD基的显示器,如美国专利6040937所描述的显示器的简化形式600。显示器600包括三个阵列602,604和606。每个阵列都是在衬底608上制造的,且包括2×4栅格的IMODs。每个IMOD包括上层610,其在使用中被驱动朝向公共下层612跨过间隙。层610是自支撑的,这是由于具有两个向下延伸的支臂611。每个IMOD具有电极614,其被置于层612上。可以看到,阵列602中的IMODs具有最高的间隙,阵列604中的IMODs具有中间尺寸的间隙,阵列606中的IMODs具有最小的间隙。这是因为阵列602,604和606中的IMODs被制造成具有限定的特征,当处在未被驱动状态时,它们中每一个分别反射红,绿和蓝光。因此,驱动层610朝向层612所需的操作电压将随着该层必须被驱动的间隙的高度而增加。因此,在阵列602中的IMODs比阵列604或阵列606中的IMQDs将要求更大的操作电压。本发明的一个实施例允许操作电压通过改变层610的厚度而规范化,层610的厚度和其必须被驱动的间隙的尺寸成反比。因此,在图6中,层610的厚度被选择以规范化每个阵列内IMODs所要求的操作电压。
在本发明的另一个实施例中,操作电压可以通过随着间隙的高度增加或减少每个层610的张应力而被规范化,该间隙高度为各层分别必须被驱动增加或减少的间隙高度。这可通过控制膜沉积参数实现,如沉积压力,功率和偏置电场。
附图中图7给出MEMs器件700的实施例,其包括IMOD,该IMOD包括机械层702,其被支撑于支柱704上,支柱形成于衬底706上。置于衬底706上的是电极708,在该电极上形成介电叠层710。机械层702和介电叠层708之间的间隔限定一个空气间隙。在使用中,操作电压被施加到驱动层702上以接触介电叠层710。器件700通常将包括三组IMODs,每个在其空气间隙的高度上都不同,以在未被驱动的状态时,分别反射红,蓝和绿光。为了规范化每组IMODs所需的操作电压,介电叠层710的介电常数被改变,在本发明的一个实施例中,以使空气间隙越高,介电常数就越大。可替换地,介电叠层的厚度可被改变以使介电叠层的厚度随着空气间隙的高度被减小(或被增加)而被增加(或被减少)。
根据本发明的另一个实施例,驱动MEMs器件中不同元件要求不同的操作电压的问题是通过提供驱动机构,如附图中图8所示的驱动机构解决的。参考图8,驱动机构包括驱动器芯片800,其包括集成的驱动电路,该驱动电路具有多级输出802,804和806。输出804到806中的每个输出传递不同的电压,且可用于一个实施例中以驱动具有不同尺寸的空气间隙的IMODs,如IMODs808,810,812,当在未被驱动状态时,其分别反射红,绿和蓝光。该设计和驱动芯片800中元件的集成是公知的,且因此没有被进一步的说明。
虽然本发明参考具体示例性实施例说明,显然,可对这些实施例做不同修改和变化而不偏离权利要求中所提出的本发明的更广阔的精神。因此,说明书和附图被认为是说明性的而不是限制性的。
