    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an electronic device that comprises a semiconductor substrate having a first surface opposite a second surface. The semiconductor substrate at least partially defines a cavity. A first microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device is disposed along the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The first MEMS device comprises a first backplate and a diaphragm vertically separated from the first backplate. A second MEMS device is disposed along the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The second MEMS device comprises spring structures and a moveable element. The spring structures are configured to suspend the moveable element in the cavity. A segment of the semiconductor substrate continuously laterally extends from under a sidewall of the first MEMS device to under a sidewall of the second MEMS device.

    摘要: A MEMS microphone includes a substrate having an opening, a first diaphragm, a first backplate, a second diaphragm, and a second backplate. The first diaphragm faces the opening in the substrate. The first backplate includes multiple accommodating-openings and it is spaced apart from the first diaphragm. The second diaphragm joints the first diaphragm together at multiple locations by pillars passing through the accommodating-openings in the first backplate. The first backplate is located between the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm. The second backplate includes at least one vent hole and it is spaced apart from the second diaphragm. The second diaphragm is located between the first backplate and the second backplate.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for fabricating a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device. In the method, a carrier wafer is received. A MEMS wafer, which includes a plurality of die, is bonded to the carrier wafer. A cavity is formed to separate an upper surface of the carrier wafer from a lower surface of a die of the MEMS wafer. A separation trench is formed to laterally surround the die, wherein formation of the cavity and the separation trench leaves a tethering structure suspending the die over the upper surface of the carrier wafer. The die and carrier wafer are translated with respect to one another to break the tethering structure and separate the die from the carrier wafer.
