Abstract

The present invention provides a manufacturing method for MEMS structure. The method includes steps of: S1: providing a substrate, including a structural layer and a silicon-based layer overlapped with the structural layer; S2: carrying out a main etching process for etching out a cavity hole from an end of the silicon-based layer, which is far away from the structural layer, in a direction toward the structural layer until the cavity hole contacts the structural layer; and S3: carrying out an over-etching process for deepening the cavity hole and control an included angle α between a side wall of the cavity hole and the structural layer to be larger than 10° but smaller than 90°. The invention also provides a MEMS structural and a MEMS microphone manufactured by the method.
