    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device including a conductive bonding structure disposed between a substrate and a MEMS substrate. An interconnect structure overlies the substrate. The MEMS substrate overlies the interconnect structure and includes a moveable membrane. A dielectric structure is disposed between the interconnect structure and the MEMS substrate. The conductive bonding structure is sandwiched between the interconnect structure and the MEMS substrate. The conductive bonding structure is spaced laterally between sidewalls of the dielectric structure. The conductive bonding structure, the MEMS substrate, and the interconnect structure at least partially define a cavity. The moveable membrane overlies the cavity and is spaced laterally between sidewalls of the conductive bonding structure.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of gettering that provides for a high efficiency gettering process by depositing a gettering material on a roughened substrate surface, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by providing a substrate into a processing chamber having residual gases. One or more cavities are formed in the substrate at locations between bonding areas on a top surface of the substrate. Respective cavities have roughened interior surfaces that vary in a plurality of directions. A getter layer is deposited into the one or more cavities. The roughened interior surfaces of the one or more cavities enable the substrate to more effectively absorb the residual gases, thereby increasing the efficiency of the gettering process.

    Abstract: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) structure and method of forming the MEMS device, including forming a first metallization structure over a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) wafer, where the first metallization structure includes a first sacrificial oxide layer and a first metal contact pad. A second metallization structure is formed over a MEMS wafer, where the second metallization structure includes a second sacrificial oxide layer and a second metal contact pad. The first metallization structure and second metallization structure are then bonded together. After the first metallization structure and second metallization structure are bonded together, patterning and etching the MEMS wafer to form a MEMS element over the second sacrificial oxide layer. After the MEMS element is formed, removing the first sacrificial oxide layer and second sacrificial oxide layer to allow the MEMS element to move freely about an axis.
