Abstract
An integrated CMOS-MEMS device includes a first substrate having a CMOS device, a second substrate having a MEMS device, an insulator layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, a dischargeable ground-contact, an electrical bypass structure, and a contrast stress layer. The first substrate includes a conductor that is conductively connecting to the CMOS devices. The electrical bypass structure has a conducting layer conductively connecting this conductor of the first substrate with the dischargeable ground-contact through a process-configurable electrical connection. The contrast stress layer is disposed between the insulator layer and the conducting layer of the electrical bypass structure.
