    Abstract: The present invention discloses a integrated structure of an MEMS pressure sensor and an MEMS inertia sensor, comprising: an insulating layer formed on a substrate, a first lower electrode and a second lower electrode both formed on the insulating layer, further comprising a first upper electrode forming an air pressure-sensitive capacitor together with the first lower electrode, and a second upper electrode forming a reference capacitor together with the second lower electrode; further comprising an inertia-sensitive structure supported above the substrate by a third support part, and a fixed electrode plate forming an inertia detecting capacitor of an inertia sensor together with the inertia-sensitive structure; and a cover body which packages the inertia detecting capacitor composed of the inertia-sensitive structure and the fixed electrode plate on the substrate. The integrated structure according to the present invention integrates the MEMS inertia sensor and the MEMS pressure sensor on the same substrate, which may effectively reduce the area of the chip, so as to reduce the cost of the chip. Single packaging may complete the packaging of the entire chip and reduce the cost of the chip packaging.

    Abstract: A transportation device is provided having multiple sensors configured to detect and measure different parameters of interest. The transportation device includes at least one monolithic integrated multi-sensor (MIMS) device. The MIMS device comprises at least two sensors of different types formed on a common semiconductor substrate. For example, the MIMS device can comprise an indirect sensor and a direct sensor. The transportation device couples a first parameter to be measured directly to the direct sensor. Conversely, the transportation device can couple a second parameter to be measured to the indirect sensor indirectly. Other sensors can be added to the transportation device by stacking a sensor to the MIMS device or to another substrate coupled to the MIMS device. This supports integrating multiple sensors such as a microphone, an accelerometer, and a temperature sensor to reduce cost, complexity, simplify assembly, while increasing performance.
