Abstract: A microelectromechanical system structure and a method for fabricating the same are provided. A method for fabricating a MEMS structure includes the following steps. A first substrate is provided, wherein a transistor, a first dielectric layer and an interconnection structure are formed thereon. A second substrate is provided, wherein a second dielectric layer and a thermal stability layer are formed on the second substrate. The first substrate is bonded to the second substrate, and the second substrate removed. A conductive layer is formed within the second dielectric layer and electrically connected to the interconnection structure. The thermal stability layer is located between the conductive layer and the interconnection structure. A growth temperature of a material of the thermal stability layer is higher than a growth temperature of a material of the conductive layer and a growth temperature of a material of the interconnection structure.

Abstract: A semiconductor pressure sensor includes a fixed electrode placed at a principal surface of a semiconductor substrate, and a diaphragm movable through an air gap in a thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate at least in an area where the diaphragm is opposed to the fixed electrode. The diaphragm includes: a movable electrode; a first insulation film placed closer to the air gap with respect to the movable electrode; a second insulation film placed opposite to the air gap with respect to the movable electrode, the second insulation film being of a same film type as the first insulation film; and a shield film that sandwiches the second insulation film with the movable electrode.
