Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip including a semiconductor device substrate and a plurality of semiconductor devices arranged along the semiconductor device substrate. A micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) layer overlies the semiconductor device substrate. The MEMS layer includes a first moveable mass and a second moveable mass. A capping layer overlies the MEMS layer. The capping layer has a first lower surface directly over the first moveable mass and a second lower surface directly over the second moveable mass. An outgas layer is on the first lower surface and directly between the first pair of sidewalls. A lower surface of the outgas layer delimits a first cavity in which the first moveable mass is arranged. The second lower surface of the capping layer delimits a second cavity in which the second moveable mass is arranged.

Abstract: A method of forming an ultrasonic transducer device includes forming a patterned metal electrode layer over a substrate, the patterned metal electrode layer comprising a lower layer and an upper layer formed on the lower layer; forming an insulation layer over the patterned metal electrode layer; and planarizing the insulation layer to the upper layer of the patterned metal electrode layer, wherein the upper layer comprises a electrically conductive material that serves as a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) stop layer that has CMP selectivity with respect to the insulation layer and the lower layer, and wherein the upper layer has a CMP removal rate slower than that of the insulation layer.

Abstract: A robust MEMS transducer includes a kinetic energy diverter disposed within its frontside cavity. The kinetic energy diverter blunts or diverts kinetic energy in a mass of air moving through the frontside cavity, before that kinetic energy reaches a diaphragm of the MEMS transducer. The kinetic energy diverter renders the MEMS transducer more robust and resistant to damage from such a moving mass of air.

Abstract: A nanosheet MEMS sensor device and method are described for integrating the fabrication of nanosheet transistors (61) and MEMS sensors (62) in a single nanosheet process flow by forming separate nanosheet transistor and MEMS sensor stacks (12A-16A, 12B-16B) of alternating Si and SiGe layers which are selectively processed to form gate electrodes (49A-C) which replace the silicon germanium layers in the nanosheet transistor stack, to form silicon fixed electrodes using silicon layers (13B-2, 15B-2) on a first side of the MEMS sensor stack, and to form silicon cantilever electrodes using silicon layers (13B-1, 15B-1) on a second side of the MEMS sensor stack by forming a narrow trench opening (54) in the MEMS sensor stack to expose and remove remnant silicon germanium layers on the second side in the MEMS sensor stack.
