Abstract
Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) devices for harvesting sound energy and methods for fabricating MEMS devices for harvesting sound energy are provided. In an embodiment, a method for fabricating a MEMS device for harvesting sound energy includes forming a pressure sensitive MEMS structure disposed over a semiconductor substrate and including a suspended structure in a cavity. Further, the method includes etching the semiconductor substrate to form an acoustic port through the semiconductor substrate configured to allow acoustic pressure to deflect the suspended structure.
