    Abstract: In one embodiment, the process flow for a capacitive pressures sensor is combined with the process flow for an inertial sensor. In this way, an inertial sensor is realized within the membrane layer of the pressure sensor. The device layer is simultaneously used as z-axis electrode for out-of-plane sensing in the inertial sensor, and/or as the wiring layer for the inertial sensor. The membrane layer (or cap layer) of the pressure sensor process flow is used to define the inertial sensor sensing structures. Insulating nitride plugs in the membrane layer are used to electrically decouple the various sensing structures for a multi-axis inertial sensor, allowing for fully differential sensing.

    Abstract: A micro-electromechanical device includes a semiconductor substrate, in which a first microstructure and a second microstructure of reference are integrated. The first microstructure and the second microstructure are arranged in the substrate so as to undergo equal strains as a result of thermal expansions of the substrate. Furthermore, the first microstructure is provided with movable parts and fixed parts with respect to the substrate, while the second microstructure has a shape that is substantially symmetrical to the first microstructure but is fixed with respect to the substrate. By subtracting the changes in electrical characteristics of the second microstructure from those of the first, variations in electrical characteristics of the first microstructure caused by changes in thermal expansion or contraction can be compensated for.
