Abstract:
Among other things, one or more semiconductor arrangements and techniques for forming such semiconductor arrangements are provided herein. A semiconductor arrangement comprises a cap wafer, a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) wafer, and a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) wafer. The MEMS wafer comprises a thermal insulator air gap formed between a sensing layer and a membrane. An ambient pressure chamber is formed between the CMOS wafer and the membrane of the MEMS wafer. The ambient pressure chamber is configured as a second thermal insulator air gap. The thermal insulator air gap and the second thermal insulator air gap protect portions of the semiconductor arrangement, such as the MEMS wafer, from heat originating from the CMOS wafer, which can otherwise damage such portions of the semiconductor arrangement. In some embodiments, one or more buffer layers are formed over the cap wafer as stress buffers.
