    Abstract: An integrated MEMS device comprises a wafer where the wafer contains two or more cavities of different depths. The MEMS device includes one movable structure within a first cavity of a first depth and a second movable structure within a second cavity of a second depth. The cavities are sealed to maintain different pressures for the different movable structures for optimal operation. MEMS stops can be formed in the same multiple cavity depth processing flow. The MEMS device can be integrated with a CMOS wafer.

    Abstract: A MEMS device includes a first plate coupled to a second plate and a fixed third plate formed on a first substrate. The first and second plates are displaced in the presence of an acoustic pressure differential across the surfaces of the first plate. The MEMS device also includes a first electrode formed on the third plate and a second electrode formed on the second substrate. The first, second plate, and third plates are contained in an enclosure formed by a first and second substrates. The device includes an acoustic port to expose the first plate to the environment. The MEMS device also includes a first gap formed between the second and third plates and a second gap formed between the second plate and the second electrode. The displacement of the second plate causes the first gap to change inversely to the second gap.
