Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for preventing electrical leakage in a MEMS microphone. In one embodiment, the MEMS microphone includes a semiconductor substrate, an electrode, a first insulation layer, and a doped region. The first insulation layer is formed between the electrode and the semiconductor substrate. The doped region is implanted in at least a portion of the semiconductor substrate where the semiconductor substrate is in contact with the first insulation layer. The doped region is also electrically coupled to the electrode.
