Abstract:
A space-efficient, planar interposer for packaging and support of a device (e.g., MEMS device) is provided. The interposer has a device-mounting region for supporting a device, such as a sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, etc. The interposer is formed from a single layer of material, and has cut-outs or gaps formed therein to define springs. The springs connect the device-mounting region to anchor regions configured to anchor the interposer to an underlying substrate or package. The cut-outs or gaps of the interposer are made with space-efficiency in mind. In certain embodiments, the cut-outs or gaps extend inwardly toward the center of the interposer such that the anchor regions can also extend inwardly, and at least a portion of each anchor region is further inboard on the interposer than a portion of the device-mounting region. As such, the anchor regions can be located within an extended or virtual perimeter of the device-mounting region.

Claim (Index 1):
A planar interposer formed from a single planar layer of material, the planar interposer configured to isolate a device from mechanical stress, vibration or thermal variation, the planar interposer comprising:\n a device-mounting region in the single planar layer of material and configured to mount to the MEMS device; two or more legs formed out of the single planar layer of material, wherein the legs are configured to act as springs to isolate the device-mounting region from mechanical stress, vibration or thermal variation, each leg having a width; and an anchor region at a terminal end of each of the legs and configured to mount to an underlying package or substrate, each anchor region spaced from the device-mounting region by a corresponding cut-out or gap, each cut-out or gap configured such that at least a portion of each anchor region is further inboard on the interposer than a portion of the device-mounting region.
