    Abstract: A micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) humidity sensor includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a sensing structure. The second substrate is substantially parallel to the first substrate. The sensing structure is between the first substrate and the second substrate, and bonded to a portion of the first substrate and a portion of the second substrate, in which the second substrate includes a conductive layer facing the sensing structure, and a first space between the first substrate and the sensing structure is communicated with or isolated from outside, and a second space between the conductive layer and the sensing structure is communicated with an atmosphere, and the sensing structure, the second space and the conductive layer constitute a capacitor configured to measure permittivity of the atmosphere, and humidity of the atmosphere is derived from the permittivity of the atmosphere, pressure of the atmosphere and temperature.

    Abstract: A method for forming a micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) device is provided. The method includes forming a first dielectric layer over a semiconductor layer and forming a blocking layer over the first dielectric layer. The method also includes bonding a CMOS substrate with the blocking layer, and the CMOS substrate includes a second dielectric layer, and the blocking layer is configured to block gas coming from the second dielectric layer. The method further includes partially removing the first dielectric layer to form a cavity between the semiconductor layer and the blocking layer. A portion of the semiconductor layer above the cavity becomes a movable element. In addition, the method includes sealing the cavity such that a closed chamber is formed to surround the movable element.
