    Abstract: Among other things, one or more semiconductor arrangements and techniques for forming such semiconductor arrangements are provided herein. A semiconductor arrangement comprises a cap wafer, a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) wafer, and a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) wafer. The MEMS wafer comprises a thermal insulator air gap formed between a sensing layer and a membrane. An ambient pressure chamber is formed between the CMOS wafer and the membrane of the MEMS wafer. The ambient pressure chamber is configured as a second thermal insulator air gap. The thermal insulator air gap and the second thermal insulator air gap protect portions of the semiconductor arrangement, such as the MEMS wafer, from heat originating from the CMOS wafer, which can otherwise damage such portions of the semiconductor arrangement. In some embodiments, one or more buffer layers are formed over the cap wafer as stress buffers.

    Abstract: A micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) device includes a MEMS substrate, at least one movable element laterally confined within a matrix layer that overlies the MEMS substrate, and a cap substrate bonded to the matrix layer through bonding material portions. A first movable element selected from the at least one movable element is located inside a first chamber that is laterally bounded by the matrix layer and vertically bounded by a first capping surface that overlies the first movable element. The first capping surface includes an array of downward-protruding bumps including respective portions of a dielectric material layer. Each of the downward-protruding bumps has a vertical cross-sectional profile of an inverted hillock. The MEMS device can include, for example, an accelerometer.
