    Abstract: A method of forming semiconductor devices, such as capacitive type MEMS acoustic transducers, in a semiconductor includes forming a mask layer on a back surface of the semiconductor wafer and removing first etch portions of the mask layer and scribe trench portions of the mask layer. Each scribe trench portion is positioned in the mask layer to define a corresponding scribe boundary of a plurality of the semiconductor devices being formed in the semiconductor wafer. Etching the semiconductor wafer through the first etch portions and the scribe trench portions may be done simultaneously to form external back chambers and scribe trenches, respectively, in the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer is then cut along cutting lines in the scribe trenches to singulate individual MEMS acoustic transducers. The etching through the first and second etch portions and the scribe trench portions are dry etching of the semiconductor substrate in one embodiment.

    Abstract: A transducer includes a first substrate and an integrated circuit coupled to the first substrate. A sensor is electrically coupled to the integrated circuit and includes a second substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The second substrate has scribe boundaries defining an outer edge of the second substrate and a chamber extending from the first surface towards but not reaching the second surface. A chamber extends from the second surface to meet the chamber from first surface. Scribe trenches in the second surface at the scribe boundaries have a width from the scribe boundary towards the chamber extending from the second surface. A membrane extends over the first surface and over the chamber extending from first surface. A plate extends from the first surface of the second substrate over the membrane.

    Abstract: An oscillator device includes: a structural layer extending over a first side of a semiconductor substrate; a semiconductor cap set on the structural layer; a coupling region extending between and hermetically sealing the structural layer and the cap and forming a cavity within the oscillator device; first and second conductive paths extending between the substrate and the structural layer; first and second conductive pads housed in the cavity and electrically coupled to first terminal portions of the first and second conductive paths by first and second connection regions, respectively, which extend through and are insulated from the structural layer; a piezoelectric resonator having first and second ends electrically coupled, respectively, to the first and second conductive pads, and extending in the cavity; and third and fourth conductive pads positioned outside the cavity and electrically coupled to second terminal portions of the first and second conductive paths.
