ABSTRACT:
A microelectromechanical (MEM) device includes a substrate, a structure, a travel stop, and a protective cap. The substrate has a surface, and the structure is coupled to, and movably suspended above, the substrate surface. The structure has at least an outer surface, and the travel stop coupled to the structure outer surface and movable therewith. The travel stop includes at least an inner peripheral surface that defines a cavity. The protective cap is coupled to the substrate and includes a stop section that is disposed at least partially within the travel stop cavity and is spaced apart from the travel stop inner peripheral surface. The travel stop and the protective cap stop section together limit movement of the structure in at least three orthogonal axes.
