abstract |
The application describes improvements to (MEMS) transducers ( 100 ) having a flexible membrane ( 301 ) with a membrane electrode ( 302 ), especially where the membrane is crystalline or polycrystalline and the membrane electrode is metal or a metal alloy. Such transducers may typically include a back-plate having at least one back-plate layer ( 304 ) coupled to a back-plate electrode ( 303 ), with a plurality of holes ( 314 ) in the back-plate electrode corresponding to a plurality back-plate holes ( 312 ) through the back-plate. In embodiments of the invention the membrane electrode has at least one opening ( 313 ) in the membrane electrode wherein, at least part of the area of the opening corresponds to the area of at least one back-plate hole, in a direction normal to the membrane, and there is no hole in the flexible membrane at said opening in the membrane electrode. There may be a plurality of such openings. The openings effectively allow a reduction in the amount of membrane electrode material, e.g. metal, that may undergo plastic deformation and permanently deform the membrane. The openings are at least partly aligned with the back-plate holes to minimize any loss of capacitance. |
