Abstract: A process for manufacturing a MEMS piezoelectric device includes: forming a membrane at a first surface of wafer of semiconductor material further having a second surface (the first and second surfaces being opposite along a vertical axis and extending parallel to a horizontal plane formed by first and second horizontal axes); forming a cavity within the wafer so that the membrane is suspended above the cavity; forming a piezoelectric material layer above a first surface of the membrane; forming an electrode arrangement in contact with the piezoelectric material layer; and forming a proof mass coupled to a second surface of the membrane opposite to the first surface along the vertical axis. The proof mass deforms the membrane in response to environmental mechanical vibrations. Forming the proof mass includes forming a connection element at a central position between the membrane and the proof mass in the direction of the vertical axis.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a microelectromechanical device envisages: providing a wafer of semiconductor material; forming a buried cavity, completely contained within the wafer, and a structural layer formed by a surface portion of the wafer and suspended over the buried cavity; forming first trenches through the structural layer as far as the buried cavity, which define the suspended structure in the structural layer; filling the first trenches and the buried cavity with sacrificial material; forming a closing structure above the structural layer; removing the sacrificial material from the first trenches and from the buried cavity to release the suspended structure, the suspended structure being isolated and buried within the wafer in a buried environment formed by the first trenches and by the buried cavity.

Abstract: A piezoelectric micro-machined ultrasonic transducer (PMUT) comprising: a semiconductor body having a first cavity and a membrane, which is suspended over the first cavity and faces a front side of the semiconductor body; and a piezoelectric transducer assembly extending at least in part on the membrane, which may be actuated for generating a deflection of the membrane. A second cavity extends buried in a peripheral region of the membrane and delimits a central region of the membrane. Moreover, the peripheral portion has a stiffness lower than the stiffness of the central portion.

Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical pressure sensor device, formed by a cap region and by a sensor region of semiconductor material. An air gap extends between the sensor region and the cap region; a buried cavity extends underneath the air gap, in the sensor region, and delimits a membrane at the bottom. A through trench extends within the sensor region and laterally delimits a sensitive portion housing the membrane, a supporting portion, and a spring portion, the spring portion connecting the sensitive portion to the supporting portion. A channel extends within the spring portion and connects the buried cavity to a face of the second region. The first air gap is fluidically connected to the outside of the device, and the buried cavity is isolated from the outside via a sealing region arranged between the sensor region and the cap region.

Abstract: A thermoelectric generator includes a substrate and one or more thermoelectric elements on the substrate and each configured to convert a thermal drop across the thermoelectric elements into an electric potential by Seebeck effect. The thermoelectric generator includes a cavity between the substrate and the thermoelectric elements. The thermoelectric generator includes, within the cavity, a support structure for supporting the thermoelectric elements. The support structure has a thermal conductivity lower than a thermal conductivity of the substrate.

Abstract: A semiconductor body includes a front side and a back side and is configured to support an electronic circuit. A buried region is provided in the semiconductor body at a location between the electronic circuit and the back side. The buried region includes a layer of conductive material and a dielectric layer, where the dielectric layer is arranged between the layer of conductive material and the semiconductor body. A conductive path extends between the buried region and the front side to form a path for electrical access to the layer of conductive material. A capacitor is thus formed with the layer of conductive material providing a capacitor plate and the dielectric layer providing the capacitor dielectric. A further capacitor plate is provided by the semiconductor body, or by a further layer of conductive material in the buried region.

Abstract: A buried cavity is formed in a monolithic body to delimit a suspended membrane. A peripheral insulating region defines a supporting frame in the suspended membrane. Trenches extending through the suspended membrane define a rotatable mobile mass carried by the supporting frame. The mobile mass forms an oscillating mass, supporting arms, spring portions, and mobile electrodes that are combfingered to fixed electrodes of the supporting frame. A reflecting region is formed on top of the oscillating mass.
