Abstract: An ultrasonic microintegrated MEMS acoustic transducer (30) formed in a body (32) of semiconductor material having a first and a second surfaces (32A, 32B) opposite to one another. A first cavity (34) extends in the body (32) and delimits at the bottom a sensitive portion (38), which extends between the first cavity (34) and the first surface (32A) of the body (32). The sensitive portion houses a second cavity (42) and forms a membrane (45) that extends between the second cavity (42) and the first surface (32A) of the body (32). An elastic supporting structure (40, 40A-40D) extends between the sensitive portion (38) and the body (32) and is suspended over the first cavity (34).

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a combined microelectromechanical device (30) provides for: forming, in a die (1) of semiconductor material, at least a first (2a) and a second (2b) microelectromechanical structures; performing a first bonding phase to bond a cap (10) to the die (1) by means of a bonding region (14), to define at least a first (20a) and a second (20b) cavity at the first and, respectively, second microelectromechanical structures, the cavities being at a controlled pressure having a first value; forming an access channel (22) 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; performing a second bonding phase, after which the bonding region deforms to hermetically close the first cavity with respect to the access channel.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical button device (5) is provided with a detection structure (14) having: a substrate (22) of semiconductor material with a front surface (22a) and a rear surface (22b); a buried electrode (28) arranged on the substrate; a mobile electrode (32), arranged in a structural layer (30) overlying the substrate and elastically suspended above the buried electrode at a separation distance so as to form a detection capacitor (Cd); and a cap (46) coupled over the structural layer and having a first main surface (46a) facing the structural layer and a second main surface (46b) that is designed to be mechanically coupled to a deformable portion (3) of a case (2) of an electronic apparatus (1) of a portable or wearable type. The cap has, on its first main surface, an actuation portion (48) 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.

Abstract: Capacitive, MEMS-type acoustic transducer, having a sound collection part (51) and a transduction part (52). A substrate region (63) surrounds a first chamber (59) arranged in the sound collection part (51) and open towards the outside; a fixed structure (62) is coupled to the substrate region (63); a cap region (56) is coupled to the fixed structure (62). A sensitive membrane (70) is arranged in the sound collection part (51), is coupled to the fixed structure (62) and faces the first chamber (59) . A transduction chamber (58) is arranged in the transduction part (52), hermetically closed with respect to the outside and accommodates a detection membrane (72). An articulated structure (67) extends between the sensitive membrane (70) and the detection membrane (72), through the walls of the transduction chamber (58). A fixed electrode (92; 69C) faces and is capacitively coupled to the detection membrane (72). Conducive electrical connection regions (69A, 69C, 69D) extend above the substrate region (63), into the transduction chamber (58).

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a filtering module (52) comprising the steps of: forming a multilayer body comprising a filter layer (104; 208; 308) of semiconductor material and having a thickness of less than 10 pm, a first structural layer (101; 212; 312) coupled to a first side of the filter layer, and a second structural layer (110; 201; 301) coupled to a second side, opposite to the first side, of the filter layer; forming a recess in the first structural layer, which extends throughout its thickness; removing selective portions, exposed through the recess, of the filter layer to form a plurality of openings (58), which extend throughout the thickness of the filter layer; and completely removing the second structural layer to connect fluidically the first and second sides of the filter layer, thus forming a filtering membrane (56) designed to inhibit passage of contaminating particles.

Abstract: A MEMS shutter including: a substrate (2) of semiconductor material traversed by a main aperture (9), and a first semiconductor layer (14) and a second semiconductor layer (16), which form a supporting structure (28, 71) fixed to the substrate; a plurality of deformable structures (29, 59, 69); a plurality of actuators (36; 96); and a plurality of shielding structures (33; 35; 333; 335; 433), each of which is formed by a corresponding portion of at least one between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, the shielding structures being arranged angularly around the underlying main aperture so as to provide shielding of the main aperture, each shielding structure being further coupled to the supporting structure via a corresponding deformable structure. Each actuator may be controlled so as to cause a rotation of a corresponding shielding structure between a respective first position and a respective second position, thus varying shielding of the main aperture. The first and second positions of the shielding structures are such that, in at least one operating condition of the MEMS shutter (1), pairs of adjacent shielding structures at least partially overlap one another.
