In one implementation, the CMUT comprises a glass substrate having a cavity; a patterned metal bottom electrode situated within the cavity of the glass substrate; and a vibrating plate comprising at least a conducting layer, wherein the vibrating plate is anodically bonded to the glass substrate to form an air-tight seal between the vibrating plate and the substrate and wherein a pressure inside the cavity is less than atmospheric pressure (i.e., a vacuum). In another implementation, the CMUT comprises a glass substrate with Through-Glass-Via (TGV) interconnects, wherein a metal electrode is electrically connected to a TGV and wherein said metal electrode can be in the bottom of a cavity of the glass substrate or on the vibrating plate.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a MEMS device with a magnetic film disposed on a first substrate, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the magnetic film is disposed on a planar front surface of the first substrate such that depositing and patterning processes of the magnetic film is improved. A sensing gap of a MEMS device associated with the magnetic film is located between the magnetic film and a recessed lateral surface of a second substrate. The second substrate is bonded to the first substrate at front surfaces of the first and second substrate. Forming the magnetic film on the planar front allows for patterning of the magnetic film without leaving unwanted residues of magnetic material. Without the unwanted residue of magnetic material, less contamination from the magnetic material is introduced after dry etching and passivation processes, improving yield and reliability of the MEMS device.
