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: Method for manufacturing a micro-electro-mechanical system, MEMS, integrating a first MEMS device and a second MEMS device. The first MEMS device is a capacitive pressure sensor and the second MEMS device is an inertial sensor. The steps of manufacturing the first and second MEMS devices are, at least partly, shared with each other, resulting in a high degree of integration on a single die, and allowing to implement a manufacturing process with high yield and controlled costs.

Abstract: A device and method for manufacturing a device comprising two semiconductor dice. The device is formed by a first die and a second die. The first die is of semiconductor material and integrates electronic components. The second die has a main surface, forms patterned structures, and is bonded to the first die. Internal electrical coupling structures electrically couple the main surface of the first die to the second die. External connection regions extend on the main surface of the first die. A package packages the first die, the second die and the internal electrical coupling structures and partially surrounds the external connection regions, the external connection regions partially protruding from the package.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a combined microelectromechanical device includes forming, in a die of semiconductor material, at least a first and a second microelectromechanical structure, performing a first bonding phase to bond a cap to the die via a bonding region or adhesive to define at least a first and a second cavity at the first and, respectively, second microelectromechanical structures, the cavities being at a controlled pressure, forming an access channel through the cap in fluidic communication with the first cavity to control the pressure value inside the first cavity in a distinct manner with respect to a respective pressure value inside the second cavity, and performing a second bonding phase, after which the bonding region deforms to hermetically close the first cavity with respect to the access channel.
