    Abstract: Embodiments relate to MEMS devices and methods for manufacturing MEMS devices. In one embodiment, the manufacturing includes forming a monocrystalline sacrificial layer on a non-silicon-on-insulator (non-SOI) substrate, patterning the monocrystalline sacrificial layer such that the monocrystalline sacrificial layer remains in a first portion and is removed in a second portion lateral to the first portion; depositing a first silicon layer, the first silicon layer deposited on the remaining monocrystalline sacrificial layer and further lateral to the first portion; removing at least a portion of the monocrystalline sacrificial layer via at least one release aperture in the first silicon layer to form a cavity and sealing the cavity.

    Abstract: A method for producing at least one cavity within a semiconductor substrate includes dry etching the semiconductor substrate from a surface of the semiconductor substrate at at least one intended cavity location in order to obtain at least one provisional cavity. The method includes depositing a protective material with regard to a subsequent wet-etching process at the surface of the semiconductor substrate and at cavity surfaces of the at least one provisional cavity. Furthermore, the method includes removing the protective material at least at a section of a bottom of the at least one provisional cavity in order to expose the semiconductor substrate. This is followed by electrochemically etching the semiconductor substrate at the exposed section of the bottom of the at least one provisional cavity. A method for producing a micromechanical sensor system in which this type of cavity formation is used and a corresponding MEMS are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Embodiments relate to MEMS devices, particularly MEMS devices integrated with related electrical devices on a single wafer. Embodiments utilize a modular process flow concept as part of a MEMS-first approach, enabling use of a novel cavity sealing process. The impact and potential detrimental effects on the electrical devices by the MEMS processing are thereby reduced or eliminated. At the same time, a highly flexible solution is provided that enables implementation of a variety of measurement principles, including capacitive and piezoresistive. A variety of sensor applications can therefore be addressed with improved performance and quality while remaining cost-effective.
