Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a piezoelectric metal-insulator-metal (MIM) device including a piezoelectric structure between a top electrode and a bottom electrode. The piezoelectric layer includes a top region overlying a bottom region. Outer sidewalls of the bottom region extend past outer sidewalls of the top region. The outer sidewalls of the top region are aligned with outer sidewalls of the top electrode. The piezoelectric layer is configured to help limit delamination of the top electrode from the piezoelectric layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) package and a method of achieving differential pressure adjustment in multiple MEMS cavities at a wafer-to-wafer bonding level. In some embodiments, a ventilation trench and an isolation trench are concurrently within a capping substrate. The isolation trench isolates a silicon region and has a height substantially equal to a height of the ventilation trench. A sealing structure is formed within the ventilation trench and the isolation trench, the sealing structure filing the isolation trench and defining a vent within the ventilation trench. A device substrate is provided and bonded to the capping substrate at a first gas pressure and hermetically sealing a first cavity associated with a first MEMS device and a second cavity associated with a second MEMS device. The capping substrate is thinned to open the vent to adjust a gas pressure of the second cavity.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device. The MEMS device includes a first dielectric structure disposed over a first semiconductor substrate, where the first dielectric structure at least partially defines a cavity. A second semiconductor substrate is disposed over the first dielectric structure and includes a movable mass, where opposite sidewalls of the movable mass are disposed between opposite sidewall of the cavity. A first piezoelectric anti-stiction structure is disposed between the movable mass and the first dielectric structure, wherein the first piezoelectric anti-stiction structure includes a first piezoelectric structure and a first electrode disposed between the first piezoelectric structure and the first dielectric structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a MIM (metal-insulator-metal) capacitor having a top electrode overlying a substrate. A passivation layer overlies the top electrode. The passivation layer has a step region that continuously contacts and extends from a top surface of the top electrode to sidewalls of the top electrode. A metal frame overlies the passivation layer. The metal frame continuously contacts and extends from a top surface of the passivation layer to upper sidewalls of the passivation layer in the step region. The metal frame has a protrusion that extends through the passivation layer and contacts the top surface of the top electrode.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a MEMS package having different trench depths, and a method of fabricating the MEMS package. In some embodiments, a cap substrate is bonded to a device substrate. The cap substrate comprises a first trench, a second trench, and an edge trench recessed from at a front-side surface of the cap substrate. A stopper is disposed within the first trench and raised from a bottom surface of the first trench. The stopper has a top surface lower than the front-side surface of the cap substrate.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) package and a method of achieving differential pressure adjustment in multiple MEMS cavities at a wafer-to-wafer bonding level. A device substrate comprising first and second MEMS devices is bonded to a capping substrate comprising first and second recessed regions. A ventilation trench is laterally spaced apart from the recessed regions and within the second cavity. A sealing structure is arranged within the ventilation trench and defines a vent in fluid communication with the second cavity. A cap is arranged within the vent to seal the second cavity at a second gas pressure that is different than a first gas pressure of the first cavity.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a MEMS package having a cap substrate with different trench depths, and a method of fabricating the MEMS package. In some embodiments, a first trench in a first device region and a scribe trench in a scribe line region are formed at a front side of a cap substrate. Then, a hard mask is formed and patterned over the cap substrate. Then, with the hard mask in place, an etch is performed to the cap substrate such that an uncovered portion of a bottom surface of the first trench is recessed while a covered portion of the bottom surface of the first trench is non-altered to form a stopper within the first trench. Then, the front side of the cap substrate is bonded to a device substrate, enclosing the first trench over a first MEMS device.
