    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: According to an embodiment, a method of operating a speaker with an acoustic pump includes generating a carrier signal having a first frequency by exciting the acoustic pump at the first frequency and generating an acoustic signal having a second frequency by adjusting the carrier signal. In such embodiments, the first frequency is outside an audible frequency range and the second frequency is inside the audible frequency range. Adjusting the carrier signal includes performing adjustments to the carrier signal at the second frequency. Other embodiments include corresponding systems and apparatus, each configured to perform corresponding embodiment methods.

    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.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a sacrificial layer over a first surface of a workpiece having the first surface and an opposite second surface. A membrane is formed over the sacrificial layer. A through hole is etched through the workpiece from the second surface to expose a surface of the sacrificial layer. At least a portion of the sacrificial layer is removed from the second surface to form a cavity under the membrane. The cavity is aligned with the membrane.
