    摘要: A process for manufacturing MEMS devices (101), including the step of forming a first assembly (74), which comprises: a dielectric region (122); a redistribution region (128); and a plurality of unit portions (76). Each unit portion (76) of the first assembly (74) includes: a die (2, 4), arranged in the dielectric region; and a plurality of first and second connection elements (18, 20), which give out onto opposite faces of the redistribution region (128) and are connected together by means of paths (30, 32) that extend in the redistribution region (128), the first connection elements (18, 20) being coupled to the die (2, 4). The process further includes the steps of: forming a second assembly (80; 110), which comprises a plurality of respective unit portions (84; 284), each of which includes a semiconductor portion (82; 282) and third connection elements (36, 50); mechanically coupling the first and second assemblies (74, 80; 74, 110) so as to connect the third connection elements (36, 50) to corresponding second connection elements (34); and then removing at least part of the semiconductor portion (82; 282) of each unit portion (84; 284) of the second assembly (80; 110), thus forming corresponding membranes (40).

    摘要: MEMS device (1) comprising: a signal processing assembly (120); a transduction module (38; 40, 41, 56) comprising a plurality of transducer devices (56); a stiffening structure (113) at least partially surrounding each transducer device (56); one or more coupling pillars (36) for each transducer device (56), extending on the stiffening structure (113) and configured to physically and electrically couple the transduction module (38; 40, 41, 56) to the signal processing assembly (120), to carry control signals of the transducer devices (56). Each conductive coupling element (36) has a section having a shape such as to maximize the overlapping surface with the stiffening structure (113) around the respective transducer device (56). This shape includes hypocycloid with a number of cusps equal to or greater than three; triangular; quadrangular.

    摘要: Micromachined pressure transducer including: a fixed body (5) of semiconductor material, which laterally delimits a main cavity (7); a transduction structure (6), which is suspended on the main cavity (7) and includes at least a pair of deformable structures (10) and a movable region (8), which is formed by semiconductor material and is mechanically coupled to the fixed body (5) through the deformable structures (10). Each deformable structure (10) includes: a support structure (15) of semiconductor material, which includes a first and a second beam (20,22), each of which has ends fixed respectively to the fixed body (5) and to the movable region (8), the first beam (20) being superimposed, at a distance, on the second beam (22); and at least one piezoelectric transduction structure (12,14), mechanically coupled to the first beam (20). The piezoelectric transduction structures (12,14) are electrically controllable so that they cause corresponding deformations of the respective support structures (15) and a consequent translation of the movable region (8) along a translation direction (H).
