Abstract
A MEMS composite transducer includes a substrate, a MEMS transducer, and a compliant membrane. Portions of the substrate define an outer boundary of a cavity. A first portion of the MEMS transducing member is anchored to the substrate. A second portion of the MEMS transducing member extends over at least a portion of the cavity and is free to move relative to the cavity. The compliant membrane is positioned in contact with the MEMS transducing member. A first portion of the compliant membrane covers the MEMS transducing member and a second portion of the compliant membrane is anchored to the substrate.
