Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device having multiple MEMS (micro-electro mechanical system) devices includes a semiconductor substrate having a first MEMS device and a second MEMS device, and an encapsulation substrate having a top portion and sidewalls forming a first cavity and a second cavity. The encapsulation substrate is bonded to the semiconductor substrate at the sidewalls to encapsulate the first MEMS device in the first cavity and to encapsulate the second MEMS device in the second cavity. The second cavity includes at least one access channel at a recessed region in a sidewall of the encapsulation substrate adjacent to an interface between the encapsulation substrate and the semiconductor substrate. The access channel is covered by a thin film. The first cavity is at a first atmospheric pressure and the second cavity is at a second atmospheric pressure. The second air pressure is different from the first air pressure.
