Patent ID: 7319260

Claim:
A partially completed electronic circuit controllable MEMS device comprising the combination of: an edge hinges-inclusive multi layer covered sacrificial first substrate member; a MEMS module protective shield member pivotally received on said sacrificial first substrate edge hinges; a MEMS module suspended from said MEMS module protective shield member by a plurality of severable tether members; a MEMS module protective shield member latch assembly supporting said MEMS module protective shield member and said MEMS module in a selected substrate-removed location; and a second substrate member-received MEMS controller electronic circuit die located in said selected substrate-removed location within severable tether members distance of a said latch assembly-stabilized MEMS module protective shield member in an orientation of subsequently-electable aligned physical unification engagement with said MEMS module; said MEMS module protective shield member enabling safe manipulative positioning and safe liquid bath-engagement of said MEMS module during removed substrate, tethered, handling, positioning and processing of said module.
