Abstract: A method of making a MEMS device including forming a mirror stack on a handle layer, applying a first bonding layer to the mirror stack, and disposing a substrate on the first bonding layer. The handle layer is removed and a second bonding layer is applied. A cap layer is disposed on the second bonding layer. The mirror stack is formed by disposing a silicon layer on the handle layer, disposing a first insulating layer on the silicon layer, etching portions of the first insulating layer, and depositing a first conductive layer on the first insulating layer. The formation also includes depositing a second insulating layer on the first conductive layer, a portion of the second insulating layer to expose a portion of the first conductive layer exposed, and forming a conductive pad on the exposed portion of the first conductive layer.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor die, comprising the steps of: providing a MEMS device having a structural body, provided with a cavity, and a membrane structure suspended over the cavity; coupling the structural body to a filtering module via direct bonding or fusion bonding so that a first portion of the filtering module extends over the cavity and a second portion of the filtering module extends seamlessly as a prolongation of the structural body; and etching selective portions of the filtering module in an area corresponding to the first portion, to form filtering openings fluidically coupled to the cavity. The semiconductor die is, for example, a microphone.

CPC classification number: B06B1/0666 , H10N30/01
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a PMUT device including a piezoelectric element located at a membrane element is provided. The method includes receiving a silicon on insulator substrate having a first silicon layer, an oxide layer, and a second silicon layer. Portions of a first surface of the second silicon layer are exposed by removing exposed side portions of the first silicon layer and corresponding portions of the oxide layer, and a central portion including the remaining portions of the first silicon layer and of the oxide layer is defined. Anchor portions for the membrane element are formed at the exposed portions of the first surface of the second silicon layer. The piezoelectric element is formed above the central portion, and the membrane element is defined by selectively removing the second layer and removing the remaining portion of the oxide from under the remaining portion of the first silicon layer.

Abstract: A method for making a micro-electro mechanical (MEMS) device includes forming a MEMS mirror stack on a handle layer, and applying a first bonding layer to the MEMS mirror stack. The method continues with disposing a substrate on the first bonding layer such that the MEMS mirror stack is mechanically anchored to the substrate and so as to seal against ingress of environmental contaminants, removing the handle layer, and applying a second bonding layer to the MEMS mirror stack. A cap layer is disposed on the second bonding layer such that the cap layer is mechanically anchored to the MEMS mirror stack and so as to seal against ingress of environmental contaminants.

Abstract: An ultrasonic MEMS acoustic transducer formed in a body of semiconductor material having first and second surfaces opposite to one another. A first cavity extends in the body and delimits at the bottom a sensitive portion, which extends between the first cavity and the first surface of the body. The sensitive portion houses a second cavity and forms a membrane that extends between the second cavity and the first surface of the body. An elastic supporting structure extends between the sensitive portion and the body and is suspended over the first cavity.
