摘要:
A MEMS acoustic transducer (20) provided with: a substrate (21) of semiconductor material, having a back surface (21b) and a front surface (21a) opposite with respect to a vertical direction (z); a first cavity (22) formed within the substrate (21), which extends from the back surface (21b) to the front surface (21a); a membrane (23) which is arranged at the upper surface (21a), suspended above the first cavity (22) and anchored along a perimeter thereof to the substrate (21); and a combfingered electrode arrangement (28) including a number of mobile electrodes (29) coupled to the membrane (23) and a number of fixed electrodes (30) coupled to the substrate (21) and facing respective mobile electrodes (29) for forming a sensing capacitor, wherein a deformation of the membrane (23) as a result of incident acoustic pressure waves causes a capacitive variation (ΔC) of the sensing capacitor. In particular, the combfingered electrode arrangement lies vertically with respect to the membrane (23) and extends parallel thereto.
