    Abstract: A microphone system includes a diaphragm suspended by springs and including a sealing layer that seals passageways which, if left open, would degrade the microphone's frequency response by allowing air to pass from one side of the diaphragm to the other when the diaphragm is responding to an incident acoustic signal. In some embodiments, the sealing layer may include an equalization aperture to allow pressure to equalize on both sides of the diaphragm.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for detecting gases in an environment using chemical and thermal sensing. In one embodiment, a method includes exposing a chemiresistor embedded within a sensor pixel to a gas in an environment; setting a heater embedded within the sensor pixel to a sensing temperature, the sensing temperature being greater than room temperature; measuring an electrical resistance of the chemiresistor in response to setting the heater to the sensing temperature; and in response to a difference between the electrical resistance of the chemiresistor and a reference electrical resistance being less than a threshold, supplying a fixed power input to the heater embedded within the sensor pixel and measuring a temperature of the sensor pixel relative to a reference temperature.

    Abstract: Microelectromechanical microphones include structures that permit differential capacitive sensing. In certain structures, a movable plate is disposed between a rigid plate and a substrate. A first capacitor is formed between the movable plate and the substrate and a second capacitor is formed between the movable plate and the rigid plate. Respective bias voltages can be applied to the rigid plate and the substrate, and a differential capacitive signal can be probed in response to displacement of the movable plate caused by a pressure wave. The movable plate and the rigid plate are mechanically coupled to first and second portions of the substrate, respectively. A dielectric member mechanically couples the movable plate and the rigid plate, thus providing mechanical stability.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a method for roughening a surface of a MEMs device or the surface of a CMOS surface. A first material can be deposited in a thin layer over a surface made of a second material. After heating, the first and second materials, they can partially melt and interdiffuse, forming an alloy. The first material can then be removed and the alloy is removed at the same time. The surface of the second material that is left behind has then been roughened due to the interdiffusion of the first and second materials.
