Abstract

In an embodiment, an integrated MEMS transducer device includes a substrate body having a first electrode on a substrate, an etch stop layer located on a surface of the substrate, a suspended micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) diaphragm with a second electrode, an anchor structure with anchors connecting the MEMS diaphragm to the substrate body and a sacrificial layer in between the anchors of the anchor structure, the sacrificial layer including a first sub-layer of a first material, wherein the first sub-layer is arranged on the etch stop layer, a second sub-layer of a second material, wherein the second sub-layer is arranged on the first sub-layer, and wherein the first and the second material are different materials.
