    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 process for manufacturing a MEMS device includes forming a first structural layer of a first thickness on a substrate. First trenches are formed through the first structural layer, and masking regions separated by first openings are formed on the first structural layer. A second structural layer of a second thickness is formed on the first structural layer in direct contact with the first structural layer at the first openings and forms, together with the first structural layer, thick structural regions having a third thickness equal to the sum of the first and the second thicknesses. A plurality of second trenches are formed through the second structural layer, over the masking regions, and third trenches are formed through the first and the second structural layers by removing selective portions of the thick structural regions.

    Abstract: A microelectromechanical button device is provided with a detection structure having: a substrate of semiconductor material with a front surface and a rear surface; a buried electrode arranged on the substrate; a mobile electrode, arranged in a structural layer overlying the substrate and elastically suspended above the buried electrode at a separation distance so as to form a detection capacitor; and a cap coupled over the structural layer and having a first main surface facing the structural layer and a second main surface that is designed to be mechanically coupled to a deformable portion of a case of an electronic apparatus of a portable or wearable type. The cap has, on its first main surface, an actuation portion arranged over the mobile electrode and configured to cause, in the presence of a pressure applied on the second main surface, a deflection of the mobile electrode and its approach to the buried electrode, with a consequent capacitive variation of the detection capacitor, which is indicative of an actuation of the microelectromechanical button device.
