Abstract:
A MEMS device includes a backing wafer with a support portion and central back plate connected to the support portion with spring flexures, a diaphragm wafer with a support portions and a sensing portion connected to the support portion with spring flexures, a passivation layer on the diaphragm, and a topping wafer. The device allows for stress isolation of a diaphragm in a piezoresistive device without a large MEMS die.
