Abstract
Micro-electromechanical (MEMS) devices and methods of forming are provided. The MEMS device includes a first substrate including a first conductive feature, a first movable element positioned over the first conductive feature, a second conductive feature, and a second movable element positioned over the second conductive feature. The MEMS device also includes a cap bonded to the first substrate, where the cap and the first substrate define a first sealed cavity and a second sealed cavity. The first conductive feature and the first movable element are disposed in the first sealed cavity and the second conductive feature and the second movable element are disposed in the second sealed cavity. A pressure of the second cavity is higher than a pressure of the first sealed cavity, and an out gas layer is disposed in a recess of the cap that partially defines the second sealed cavity.
