Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a micro-electro mechanical system (MEMs) structure. In some embodiments, the method may be performed by providing a device substrate having a first MEMS device and a second MEMS device, and by providing a capping structure having a first cavity and a second cavity. The capping structure is bonded to the device substrate, such that the first cavity is arranged over the first MEMS device and the second cavity is arranged over the second MEMS device. A first pressure is established within the first cavity and the second cavity. A vent is selectively etched within the capping structure to change the first pressure within the second cavity to a second pressure, which is different from the first pressure.
