A MEMS device comprises a first layer (1), a second layer (2) and a third layer (3) sealed together. A mobile structure (7.1, 7.2) in the second layer (2) is defined by openings (8.1, 8.2) in the second layer (2). In the first layer (1), there is at least one first-layer cavity (6.1, 6.2) with an opening towards the mobile structure (7.1, 7.2) of the second layer (2). In the third layer (3), there is at least one third-layer cavity (9) with an opening towards the mobile structure (7.1, 7.2) of the second layer (2). Therefore, the third-layer cavity (9) and the second layer (2) define a space within the MEMS device, A getter layer (10.1, 10.2) arranged on a surface of said space. The getter layer (10.1, 10.2) is preferably arranged on a surface of the second layer (2) and in particular, the getter layer (10.1, 10.2) is arranged on a static part of the second layer (2). Alternatively, the MEMS device has a third-layer cavity (24) with at least two recesses (25.1, 25.2, 25.3) and the getter layer (26.1, 26.2, 26.3) is arranged on a surface of the recesses (25.1, 25.2, 25.3).
