Embodiment Construction

[0024] Microconnector 110 and receptacle 120 may be micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) components having feature dimensions of less than about 1000 microns. Micro-connector 110 and receptacle 120 may also be nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS), having feature dimensions of less than about 10 microns. The invention is generally applicable to any of the microcomponents of the microcomponents described herein. For example, microcomponents 100 and others described below may include MEMS elements with feature dimensions of less than about 1000 microns and / or NEMS elements with feature dimensions of less than about 10 microns.

[0025] The receptacles 120, 125 are defined in or coupled to the base plate 105, and each includes a retainer 130 that includes, at least in the present embodiment shown, two legs 140. One end 142 of the leg 140 is coupled to or fixed to the base plate 105 and the other end 144 is free to move across the base plate 105 . End 144 has a tapered surfa...

Abstract

A MEMS microconnector including a compliant handle and a deflectable connection member. The compliant handle is configured to frictionally engage a manipulation probe. The deflectable connection member includes a first end coupled to the handle and a second end configured to deflect and thereby engage a receptacle in response to disengagement of the manipulation probe from the handle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to MEMS devices, and more particularly, to reactive MEMS microconnectors and microcomponents related thereto. Background technique [0002] Extraordinary advances have been made in micromechanical and microelectrical devices including micro-electromechanical devices (MEMs), which include integrated micromechanical and microelectrical devices. The terms "microcomponent", "microconnector", "microdevice" and "microcomponent" as used generally herein include microelectrical components, micromechanical components, MEM components and components thereof. [0003] There are many methods and structures for coupling MEMs and other microelements together to form microassemblies. One approach, often referred to as "pick and place" assembly, is serial microassembly, in which microelements are assembled one at a time in series. For example, if the device is formed by coupling two microcomponents together, pliers or other p...
