Abstract

A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) die includes a first diaphragm and a second diaphragm, wherein the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm bound a sealed chamber. A stationary electrode is disposed within the sealed chamber between the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm. A tunnel passes through the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm without passing through the stationary electrode, wherein the tunnel is sealed off from the chamber. The MEMS die further includes a substrate having an opening formed therethrough, wherein the tunnel provides fluid communication from the opening, through the second diaphragm, and through the first diaphragm.
