Abstract
A MEMS device and methods of forming are provided. A dielectric layer of a first substrate is patterned to expose conductive features and a bottom layer through the dielectric layer. A first surface of a second substrate is bonded to the dielectric layer and the second substrate is patterned to form a membrane and a movable element. A cap wafer is bonded to the second substrate, where bonding the cap wafer to the second substrate forms a first sealed cavity comprising the movable element and a second sealed cavity that is partially bounded by the membrane. Portions of the cap wafer are removed to expose the second sealed cavity to ambient pressure.
