    Abstract: An inertial MEMS device includes an inertial element provided by a movable structure that is responsive to movement. The moveable structure is formed in a first structural layer of semiconductor material. A suspended structure extends above the movable structure at a distance therefrom. The suspended structure is formed in a second structural layer of semiconductor material and carries a piezoelectric structure. The suspended structure and the piezoelectric structure form a wake-up element that generates an activation signal in presence of vibrations or shocks. The inertial element and the wake-up element are contained in a chamber formed by a substrate and a cap, together with peripheral portions of the first and the second structural layers.
