    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an electronic device that comprises a semiconductor substrate having a first surface opposite a second surface. The semiconductor substrate at least partially defines a cavity. A first microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device is disposed along the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The first MEMS device comprises a first backplate and a diaphragm vertically separated from the first backplate. A second MEMS device is disposed along the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The second MEMS device comprises spring structures and a moveable element. The spring structures are configured to suspend the moveable element in the cavity. A segment of the semiconductor substrate continuously laterally extends from under a sidewall of the first MEMS device to under a sidewall of the second MEMS device.

    Abstract: The integrated CMOS-MEMS device includes a CMOS structure, a cap structure, and a MEMS structure. The CMOS structure, fabricated on a first substrate, includes at least one conducting layer. The cap structure, including vias passing through the cap structure, has an isolation layer deposited on its first side and has a conductive routing layer deposited on its second side. The MEMS structure is deposited between the first substrate and the cap structure. The integrated CMOS-MEMS device also includes a conductive connector that passes through one of the vias and through an opening in the isolation layer on the cap structure. The conductive connector conductively connects a conductive path in the conductive routing layer on the cap structure with the at least one conducting layer of the CMOS structure.
