摘要: A method for manufacturing a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device, includes forming a cavity in a bulk semiconductor substrate; defining a movably suspended mass in the bulk semiconductor substrate by one or more trenches extending from a main surface area of the bulk semiconductor substrate to the cavity; arranging a cap structure on the main surface area of the bulk semiconductor substrate; and forming a capacitive structure. Forming the capacitive structure includes arranging a first electrode structure on the movably suspended mass; and providing a second electrode structure at the cap structure such that the first electrode structure and the second electrode structure are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the main surface area of the bulk semiconductor substrate.

摘要: A manufacturing method includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a pressure sensor structure; and forming, during a BEOL process (BEOL=back-end-of-line), a metal-insulator-stack arrangement on the semiconductor substrate, wherein the metal-insulator-stack arrangement is formed to comprise (1) a cavity adjacent to the pressure sensor structure and extending over the pressure sensor structure, and (2) a pressure port through the metal-insulator-stack arrangement for providing a fluidic connection between the cavity and an environmental atmosphere, wherein the pressure port has a cross-sectional area, which is smaller than 10% of a footprint area of the pressure sensor structure within the cavity.

摘要: Embodiments relate to MEMS resonator structures and methods that enable application of a maximum available on-chip voltage. In an embodiment, a MEMS resonator comprises a connection between a ground potential and the gap electrode of the resonator. Embodiments also relate to manufacturing systems and methods that are less complex and enable production of MEMS resonators of reduced dimensions.

摘要: An apparatus and a method for producing the apparatus are described, wherein the apparatus includes a substrate with a photodetector and a dielectric arranged on the substrate. Further, the apparatus includes a microlens arranged on a first side of the dielectric. The microlens is configured to steer incident radiation onto the photodetector. Moreover, the apparatus includes a carrier-free optical interference filter. The microlens is arranged between the photodetector and the interference filter, and the interference filter has a plane surface on a side facing away from the photodetector.
