    Abstract: A method for making a micro-electro mechanical (MEMS) device includes forming a MEMS mirror stack on a handle layer, and applying a first bonding layer to the MEMS mirror stack. The method continues with disposing a substrate on the first bonding layer such that the MEMS mirror stack is mechanically anchored to the substrate and so as to seal against ingress of environmental contaminants, removing the handle layer, and applying a second bonding layer to the MEMS mirror stack. A cap layer is disposed on the second bonding layer such that the cap layer is mechanically anchored to the MEMS mirror stack and so as to seal against ingress of environmental contaminants.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a PMUT device including a piezoelectric element located at a membrane element is provided. The method includes receiving a silicon on insulator substrate having a first silicon layer, an oxide layer, and a second silicon layer. Portions of a first surface of the second silicon layer are exposed by removing exposed side portions of the first silicon layer and corresponding portions of the oxide layer, and a central portion including the remaining portions of the first silicon layer and of the oxide layer is defined. Anchor portions for the membrane element are formed at the exposed portions of the first surface of the second silicon layer. The piezoelectric element is formed above the central portion, and the membrane element is defined by selectively removing the second layer and removing the remaining portion of the oxide from under the remaining portion of the first silicon layer.
