MEMS DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17871075 titled 'MEMS DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device and its manufacturing method that aims to improve the uniformity of temperature distribution in a heater unit. The device includes a heater unit formed on a substrate and a dummy pattern unit formed in the remaining portion of the substrate, which is not electrically connected to the heater unit.

  • The device is a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device.
  • It includes a heater unit formed on a substrate.
  • A dummy pattern unit is formed in the remaining portion of the substrate.
  • The dummy pattern unit is not electrically connected to the heater unit.
  • The purpose is to improve the uniformity of temperature distribution in the heater unit.

Potential Applications

This technology can have various potential applications, including:

  • Microheaters for gas sensors
  • Thermal actuators for microvalves
  • Microfluidic devices requiring precise temperature control

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

  • Non-uniform temperature distribution in heater units
  • Inefficient heat transfer in MEMS devices
  • Inaccurate temperature control in microheaters

Benefits

The benefits of this technology are:

  • Improved uniformity of temperature distribution in the heater unit
  • Enhanced heat transfer efficiency in MEMS devices
  • More accurate temperature control in microheaters


Original Abstract Submitted
