    Abstract: A MEMS device includes a substrate having a cavity and a membrane structure mechanically connected to the substrate and configured for deflecting out-of-plane with regard to a substrate plane and with a frequency in an ultrasonic frequency range to cause a fluid motion of the fluid in the cavity. The MEMS device includes a valve structure sandwiching the cavity together with the membrane structure, wherein the valve structure includes a planar perforated structure and a shutter structure opposing the perforated structure and arranged movably in-plane and with a frequency in the ultrasonic frequency range and with regard to the substrate plane and between a first position and a second position. The shutter structure is arranged to provide a first fluidic resistance for the fluid in the first position and a second, higher fluidic resistance for the fluid in the second position.

    Abstract: A photoacoustic sensor comprises an emitter for emitting electromagnetic radiation at a first wavelength and electromagnetic radiation at a second wavelength, wherein the first wavelength is for photoacoustically detecting particulate matter in a measurement cavity and the second wavelength is for photoacoustically detecting the particulate matter and at least one target gas in the measurement cavity. The photoacoustic sensor further comprises an acoustic transducer for transducing a first acoustic signal into a first sensor signal depending on an interaction of the electromagnetic radiation at the first wavelength and the particulate matter, and for transducing a second acoustic signal into a second sensor signal depending on an interaction of the electromagnetic radiation at the second wavelength with the particulate matter and the at least one target gas.

    Abstract: A MEMS sound transducer element is operable in an audio and an ultrasonic range. The MEMS sound transducer element includes a first electrode structure, wherein a conductive material of the first electrode structure includes a plurality of electrically isolated electrode segments, and a second electrode structure spaced apart from the first electrode structure, wherein the first electrode structure and the second electrode structure are operable as an audio sound transducer. A first subset of the plurality of electrically isolated electrode segments of the first electrode structure is, in conjunction with the second electrode structure, operable as an ultrasonic or audio emitter, and a second subset of the plurality of the electrically isolated electrode segments of the first electrode structure is, in conjunction with the second electrode structure, operable as an ultrasonic or audio receiver.
