Abstract
A MEMS device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. A semiconductor device includes a substrate; and a membrane over the substrate and configured to generate charges in response to an acoustic wave, the membrane being in a polygonal shape including vertices. The membrane includes a via pattern having first lines that partition the membrane into slices and extend to the vertices of the membrane such that the slices are separated from each other near an anchored region of the membrane and connected to each other around a central region. The via pattern further includes second lines extending from the anchored region of the membrane toward the central region of the membrane. Each of the second lines includes a length less than a length of each of the first lines.
