Abstract
A micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device is provided. The MEMS device includes: a first substrate having a first surface and a second surface, and a port disposed through the first substrate, wherein the port is configured to receive acoustic waves and wherein the first surface is exposed to an environment outside the MEMS device; and a diaphragm coupled to and facing the second surface and configured to deflect in response to pressure differential at the diaphragm in response to the received acoustic waves. The MEMS device also includes a second substrate coupled to and facing the diaphragm, and including circuitry, wherein the second substrate includes a recess region forming an integrated back cavity in the MEMS device. The MEMS device also includes an electrical connection electrically coupling the first substrate and the second substrate and configured to transmit an electrical signal indicative of the deflection of the diaphragm.
