The present disclosure relates to a MEMs substrate. In some embodiments, the MEMs substrate has a device substrate having a micro-electromechanical system (MEMs) device, and a layer of bonding material positioned over the device substrate at positions adjacent to the MEMs device. A cap substrate has a depression is disposed within a surface abutting the layer of bonding material. The depression within the cap substrate forms a chamber vertically disposed between the device substrate and the cap substrate and abutting the MEMs device. One or more pressure tuning channels are vertically disposed between the device substrate and the cap substrate and laterally extend outward from a sidewall of the chamber.

The present disclosure relates to a method of etching a narrow gap using one or more parallel releasing structures to improve etching performance, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method provides a semiconductor substrate with a narrow gap having a sacrificial material. One or more parallel releasing structures are formed within the semiconductor substrate at positions that abut the narrow gap. An etching process is then performed to simultaneously remove the sacrificial material from the narrow gap along a first direction from the one or more parallel releasing structures and along a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction. By simultaneously etching the sacrificial material from both the direction of the narrow gap and from the direction of the one or more parallel releasing structures, the sacrificial material is removed in less time, since the etch is not limited by a size of the narrow gap.
