MEMS vibrator, method of manufacturing MEMS vibrator, electronic device, and moving object
View Patent ↗A MEMS vibrator includes an insulating portion, a first electrode provided on one surface of the insulating portion, a fixed portion, and a function portion, a second electrode provided so that at least a portion thereof overlaps the first electrode at a distance therefrom. The second electrode comes into contact with the function portion and extends from the fixed portion.
1. A MEMS vibrator comprising:
an insulating layer;
a fixed electrode that is provided on the insulating layer;
a movable electrode that is provided over the insulating layer, part of the movable electrode being overlapped with the fixed electrode in a plan view so that the movable electrode is spaced apart from the fixed electrode;
a beam that extends from the movable electrode over the insulating layer so that the beam is spaced apart from the insulating layer in the plan view;
a fixing member that is provided on the insulating layer and that is continuously formed with the beam; and
a vibration suppression member that is provided on the insulating layer and that is continuously formed with the beam and the fixing member so that the vibration suppression member prevents vibration from being transmitted from the movable electrode to the fixing member via the beam, wherein
the fixed electrode is shifted from the beam in the plan view.
2. An electronic device to which the MEMS vibrator according to claim 1 is mounted.
3. A moving object to which the MEMS vibrator according to claim 1 is mounted.
