MEMS DEVICE AND MEMS SPRING ELEMENT
First Claim
1. A micro electromechanical system (MEMS) spring element disposed on a substrate, comprising:
- a fixing portion fixed on the substrate, the fixing portion comprising;
an insulating layer disposed on the substrate;
a plurality of metal-fixing layers disposed above the insulating layer; and
a plurality of supporting-fixing layers connected between the metal-fixing layers; and
a moveable portion having a first end and a second end, the first end connected with the fixing portion, the second end suspended above the substrate, the moveable portion including;
a plurality of metal layers; and
at least a supporting layer connected between the adjacent metal layers, and at least a hollow region formed between the supporting layer and the adjacent metal layers.

Abstract
A micro electromechanical system (MEMS) spring element is disposed on a substrate, and includes a fixing portion and a moveable portion. The fixing portion is fixed on the substrate, and includes an insulating layer, a plurality of metal-fixing layers and a plurality of supporting-fixing layers. The insulating layer is disposed on the substrate. The metal-fixing layers are disposed above the insulating layer. The supporting-fixing layers are connected between the metal-fixing layers. The moveable portion has a first end and a second end. The first end is connected with the fixing portion, and the second end is suspended above the substrate. The moveable portion includes a plurality of metal layers and at least a supporting layer. The supporting layer is connected between the adjacent metal layers, and a hollow region is formed between the supporting layer and the adjacent metal layers. The deformation of the MEMS spring element generated because of the different thermal expansion may be avoided and the working performance of the MEMS spring element can be improved.
