Abstract:
A device includes a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensor die comprising a deformable membrane, a MEMS heating element, and a substrate. The MEMS heating element is integrated within a same layer and a same plane as the deformable membrane. The MEMS heating element surrounds the deformable membrane and is separated from the deformable membrane through a trench. The MEMS heating element is configured to generate heat to heat up the deformable membrane. The substrate is coupled to the deformable membrane.
