In described examples, a method of forming a microelectromechanical device comprises: forming a first metallic layer comprising a conducting layer on a substrate; forming a first dielectric layer on the first metallic layer, wherein the first dielectric layer comprises one or more individual dielectric layers; forming a sacrificial layer on the first dielectric layer; forming a second dielectric layer on the sacrificial layer; forming a second metallic layer on the second dielectric layer; and removing the sacrificial layer to form a spacing between the second dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer. Removing the sacrificial layer enables movement of the second dielectric layer relative to the first dielectric layer in at least one direction.

A MEMS microphone with reduced parasitic capacitance is provided. A microphone includes a protection film covering a rim-sided area of the backplate.

A micromechanical component for a sensor device or microphone device. The micromechanical component includes a diaphragm with a diaphragm inner side to which an electrode structure is directly or indirectly connected; and a cavity that is formed at least in a volume that is exposed by at least one removed area of at least one sacrificial layer. At least one residual area made of at least one electrically insulating sacrificial layer material of the at least one sacrificial layer is also present at the micromechanical component, and including at least one insulation area made of at least one electrically insulating material that is not the same as the electrically insulating sacrificial layer material. The electrode structure is electrically insulated from the diaphragm, and/or the at least one residual area of the at least one sacrificial layer is delimited from the cavity, using the at least one insulation area.

The present invention generally relates to glass-sensor structures and methods of making the same.

The present disclosure relates to a wafer-level package that includes a first thinned die, a multilayer redistribution structure, a first mold compound, and a second mold compound. The first thinned die includes a first device layer formed from glass materials. The multilayer redistribution structure includes redistribution interconnects that connect the first device layer to package contacts on a bottom surface of the multilayer redistribution structure. Herein, the connections between the redistribution interconnects and the first device layer are solder-free. The first mold compound resides over the multilayer redistribution structure and around the first thinned die, and extends beyond a top surface of the first thinned die to define an opening within the first mold compound and over the first thinned die. The second mold compound fills the opening and is in contact with the top surface of the first thinned die.

A micro electromechanical system (MEMS) includes a substrate and a rear surface opposite to the surface, a semiconductor device and a protection wall. The substrate has a surface. The semiconductor device is disposed on the surface. The protection wall surrounds the semiconductor device and passes through the surface but not electrically contacts to the semiconductor device; wherein there is no electronic element disposed between the surface and the rear surface.

A drying implement may include a first portion having a diatomaceous earth slab and a resilient slab covering, and a second portion that is coupled to the first panel. The resilient slab covering may include a mesh of openings that allow water from an article placed on the resilient slab covering to drip through the mesh of openings, onto the diatomaceous earth slab. The second panel may include a plurality of cross pieces that are overmolded with a resilient second covering.

In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a MEMs (microelectromechanical system) package device having a getter layer. The MEMs package includes a first substrate having a cavity located within an upper surface of the first substrate. The cavity has roughened interior surfaces. A getter layer is arranged onto the roughened interior surfaces of the cavity. A bonding layer is arranged on the upper surface of the first substrate on opposing sides of the cavity, and a second substrate bonded to the first substrate by the bonding layer. The second substrate is arranged over the cavity. The roughened interior surfaces of the cavity enables more effective absorption of residual gases, thereby increasing the efficiency of a gettering process.

An electromechanical device may include a first substrate, a second substrate, a connector, and a protector. The connector may be formed of a first dielectric material and may be positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate. A first side of the connector may directly contact the first substrate. The protector may be formed of a second dielectric material and may directly contact a second side of the connector.
