    Abstract: A MEM vibration sensor includes a substrate and a sensing-device. The substrate includes a first supporting-portion and a cavity. The sensing-device includes a first sensing-unit, a second sensing-unit, a first metal pad and a second metal pad. The first sensing-unit includes a second supporting-portion and a vibrating-portion. The second supporting-portion is located on the first supporting-portion and is connected to the first supporting-portion via a first dielectric material. The vibrating-portion is located on the cavity, and is connected with the second supporting-portion through an elastic connecting-portion. The second sensing-unit is located on the first sensing-unit and includes a sensing-portion and a third supporting-portion. The sensing-portion is located on the vibrating-portion and has a gap with the vibrating-portion. The third supporting-portion is located on the second supporting-portion, is connected to the sensing-portion, and is connected to the second supporting-portion through a second dielectric material.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an integrated chip including an interconnect structure overlying a semiconductor substrate. An upper dielectric structure overlies the interconnect structure. A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) substrate overlies the upper dielectric structure. A cavity is defined between the MEMS substrate and the upper dielectric structure. The MEMS substrate comprises a movable membrane over the cavity. A cavity electrode is disposed in the upper dielectric structure and underlies the cavity. A plurality of stopper structures is disposed in the cavity between the movable membrane and the cavity electrode. A dielectric protection layer is disposed along a top surface of the cavity electrode. The dielectric protection layer has a greater dielectric constant than the upper dielectric structure.
