Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip having an integrated optical bio-sensor, and an associated method of fabrication. In some embodiments, the integrated optical bio-sensor has a sensing device arranged within a semiconductor substrate. An optical waveguide structure is located over a first side of the semiconductor substrate at a position over the sensing device. A dielectric structure is disposed onto the optical waveguide structure at a position that separates the optical waveguide structure from a sample retention area configured to receive a sample solution.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a micro-electro mechanical system (MEMs) structure. In some embodiments, the method may be performed by providing a device substrate having a first MEMS device and a second MEMS device, and by providing a capping structure having a first cavity and a second cavity. The capping structure is bonded to the device substrate, such that the first cavity is arranged over the first MEMS device and the second cavity is arranged over the second MEMS device. A first pressure is established within the first cavity and the second cavity. A vent is selectively etched within the capping structure to change the first pressure within the second cavity to a second pressure, which is different from the first pressure.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to multiple MEMS devices that are integrated together on a single substrate. A device substrate comprising first and second micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) devices is bonded to a capping structure. The capping structure comprises a first cavity arranged over the first MEMS device and a second cavity arranged over the second MEMS device. The first cavity is filled with a first gas at a first gas pressure. The second cavity is filled with a second gas at a second gas pressure, which is different from the first gas pressure. A recess is arranged within a lower surface of the capping structure. The recess abuts the second cavity. A vent is arranged within the capping structure. The vent extends from a top of the recess to the upper surface of the capping structure. A lid is arranged within the vent and configured to seal the second cavity.
