    Abstract: A transportation device is provided having multiple sensors configured to detect and measure different parameters of interest. The transportation device includes at least one monolithic integrated multi-sensor (MIMS) device. The MIMS device comprises at least two sensors of different types formed on a common semiconductor substrate. For example, the MIMS device can comprise an indirect sensor and a direct sensor. The transportation device couples a first parameter to be measured directly to the direct sensor. Conversely, the transportation device can couple a second parameter to be measured to the indirect sensor indirectly. Other sensors can be added to the transportation device by stacking a sensor to the MIMS device or to another substrate coupled to the MIMS device. This supports integrating multiple sensors such as a microphone, an accelerometer, and a temperature sensor to reduce cost, complexity, simplify assembly, while increasing performance.

    Abstract: A MEMS device is disclosed. The MEMS device comprises a first plate with a first surface and a second surface; and an anchor attached to a first substrate. The MEMS device further includes a second plate with a third surface and a fourth surface attached to the first plate. A linkage connects the anchor to the first plate, wherein the first plate and second plate are displaced in the presence of an acoustic pressure differential between the first and second surfaces of the first plate. The first plate, second plate, linkage, and anchor are all contained in an enclosure formed by the first substrate and a second substrate, wherein one of the first and second substrates contains a through opening to expose the first surface of the first plate to the environment.

    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a package encasing a Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) device provides a cover having a lid and sidewalls with a port extending through the lid. A first base component is bonded to the sidewalls defining an internal cavity. This first base component further includes an aperture extending therethrough. The MEMS device is inserted through the aperture and bonded to the lid with the MEMS device at least partially overlapping the port. Assembly is completed by bonding a second base component to the first base component to seal the aperture. The package so formed has a cover with a lid, sidewalls and a port extending through the lid. A MEMS device is bonded to the lid and electrically interconnected to electrically conductive features disposed on the first base component. A second base component is bonded to the first base component spanning the aperture.

    Abstract: A monolithically integrated MEMS and CMOS substrates provided by an IC-foundry compatible process. The CMOS substrate is completed first using standard IC processes. A diaphragm with stress relief corrugated structure is then fabricated on top of the CMOS. Air vent holes are then etched in the CMOS substrate. Finally, the microphone device is encapsulated by a thick insulating layer at the wafer level. The monolithically integrated microphone that adopts IC foundry-compatible processes yields the highest performance, smallest form factor, and lowest cost. Using this architecture and fabrication flow, it is feasible and cost-effective to make an array of Silicon microphones for noise cancellation, beam forming, better directionality and fidelity.
