    摘要: A device comprises a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate having first and second silicon layers with an insulator layer interposed between them. A structural layer, having a first conductivity type, is formed on the first silicon layer. A well region, having a second conductivity type opposite from the first conductivity type, is formed in the structural layer, and resistors are diffused in the well region. A metallization structure is formed over the well region and the resistors. A first cavity extends through the metallization structure overlying the well region and a second cavity extends through the second silicon layer, with the second cavity stopping at one of the first silicon layer and the insulator layer. The well region interposed between the first and second cavities defines a diaphragm of a pressure sensor. An integrated circuit and the pressure sensor can be fabricated concurrently on the SOI substrate using a CMOS fabrication process.

    摘要: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) microphone has a substrate including a backside trench, and a flexible membrane deposited on the substrate extending over the backside trench. The flexible membrane includes a first electrode. A silicon spacer layer is deposited on a perimeter portion of the flexible membrane. The spacer layer defines an acoustic chamber above the membrane and the backside trench. A silicon rich silicon nitride (SiN) backplate layer is deposited on top of the silicon spacer layer extending over the acoustic chamber. The backplate defines a plurality of opening into the acoustic chamber and includes a metallization that serves as a second electrode.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for manufacturing a CMOS-MEMS device (100). A partial protective layer (401) is deposited on a top surface of a layered structure to cover a circuit region. A first partial etch is performed from the bottom side of the layered structure to form a first gap (501) below a MEMS membrane (207) within a MEMS region of the layered structure. A second partial etch is performed from the top side of the layered structure to remove a portion of a sacrificial layer between the MEMS membrane and a MEMS backplate (215) within the MEMS region. The second partial etch releases the MEMS membrane so that it can move in response to pressures. The deposited partial protective layer prevents the second partial etch from etching a portion of the sacrificial layer positioned within the circuit region of the layered structure and also prevents the second partial etch from damaging the CMOS circuit component (211).
