Abstract

The invention provides a micro-electro-mechanical device which includes a substrate, an electrode, and a diaphragm. The electrode includes plural vent holes. The diaphragm is disposed above and in parallel to the electrode, to form a capacitive sensor with the electrode. The diaphragm includes plural ribs protruding upward and/or downward from the diaphragm; the ribs are respectively disposed in correspondence to the plural vent holes and do not overlap nor contact the electrode. A method for making the micro-electro-mechanical device is also provided according to the present invention.
