    Abstract: A device includes vertically and laterally spaced sensors that sense different physical stimuli. Fabrication of the device entails forming a device structure having a first and second wafer layers with a signal routing layer interposed between them. Active transducer elements of one or more sensors are formed in the first wafer layer and a third wafer layer is attached with the second wafer layer to produce one or more cavities in which the active transducer elements are located. A trench extends through the second wafer and through a portion of the signal routing layer. The trench electrically isolates a region of the second wafer layer surrounded by the trench from a remainder of the second wafer layer. Another active transducer element of another sensor is formed in this region. The transducer element formed in the second wafer layer may be a diaphragm for a pressure sensor of the sensor device.
