Abstract:
A MEMS device includes at least one proof mass, the at least one proof mass is capable of moving to contact at least one target structure. The MEMS device further includes at least one elastic bump stop coupled to the proof mass and situated at a first distance from the target structure. The MEMS device additionally includes at least one secondary bump stop situated at a second distance from the target structure, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance, and further wherein the at least one elastic bump stop moves to reduce the first distance when a shock is applied.

Claim (Index 15):
A method comprising:\n causing a first contact surface of a bump stop to face a first target structure surface of a target structure toward which at least one proof mass, of a MEMS device, is destined to extend, the bump stop coupled to the at least one proof mass through a flexible element and having the first contact surface and a secondary bump stop coupled to the at least one proof mass and having a second contact surface, the second contact surface facing a second target surface of the bump stop and before the at least one proof mass extends toward the target structure, a first distance is defined by a distance between the first contact surface and the first target surface and a second distance is defined by a distance between the second contact surface and the second target surface surface; the at least one proof mass extending toward the target structure; in response to the at least one proof mass extending toward the target structure, the bump stop extending toward and making contact with the target structure at the first target structure surface; and after the bump stop extending toward and making contact with the target structure, the flexible element flexing and causing the secondary bump stop to make contact at a first bump stop surface of the bump stop.
