Ultra-Sensitive Single-Layer MEMS Capacitive Platform with Repulsive Softening
This invention introduces a MEMS capacitive platform that cancels bias-induced stiffening with co-planar “repulsive” electrodes, boosting displacement response by over 6× without increasing noise, enabling simpler, smaller, and more sensitive microphones and sensors. Background: Capacitive MEMS sensors and actuators require a DC...

Portable High-Resolution AFM with Electrostatic Levitation
This invention combines electrostatic levitation actuators with triboelectric nanogenerators to enable self-powered shock and vibration sensors. By directly converting motion to voltage and voltage to motion, it eliminates complex control systems, delivering compact, CMOS-compatible sensors for impact detection, fall alarms, and environmental monitoring....

Surface Micromachined Microphone
; Background: In typical micromachined microphones, it is necessary to incorporate a significant volume of air behind the microphone diaphragm in order to prevent the back volume air from impeding the motion of the diaphragm. The air behind the diaphragm acts as a linear spring whose stiffness is inversely proportional to the nominal volume of the...
