Abstract: A sensor includes a membrane electrode, a counter-electrode, and at least one spring. The sensor can include a structure; a membrane electrode, which is deformable as a consequence of pressure and which is in contact with the structure; a counter-electrode mechanically connected to the structure and separated from the membrane electrode by a gap; and at least one spring mechanically connected to the membrane electrode and the counter-electrode, so as to exert an elastic force between the membrane electrode and the counter-electrode.

Abstract: A MEMS device includes a backplate electrode and a membrane disposed spaced apart from the backplate electrode. The membrane includes a displaceable portion and a fixed portion. The backplate electrode and the membrane are arranged such that an overlapping area of the fixed portion of the membrane with the backplate electrode is less than maximum overlapping.

Abstract: An MEMS sound transducer comprises a first and a second backplate, as well as a diaphragm, which is arranged between the first and the second backplate and is held by an edge fastening between the first and the second backplate. The MEMS sound transducer comprises a clamping structure, which is configured to provide fixing for the diaphragm when an electrostatic force acting in an operating state is applied between the first and the second backplate and at a distance from the edge fastening, and to release the fixing in absence of the electrostatic force.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device comprises forming an insulation trench structure comprising insulation material extending into the semiconductor substrate from a surface of the semiconductor substrate. The insulation trench structure laterally surrounds a portion of the semiconductor substrate. The method further comprises modifying the laterally surrounded portion of the semiconductor substrate to form a vertical electrically conductive structure comprising an alloy material. The alloy material is an alloy of the semiconductor substrate material and at least one metal.
