  • Patent number: 11305988
    Abstract: Provided are a method for preparing a silicon wafer with a rough surface and a silicon wafer, which solves the problem in the prior art that viscous force is likely to be generated. The method includes: depositing a first film layer having a large surface roughness on a surface of a silicon wafer that has been subjected to planar planarization, and then blanket etching the first film layer to remove the first film layer. Then, the surface of the first silicon layer facing away from the substrate is further etched to form grooves and protrusions, which provide roughness, thereby forming a silicon wafer with a rough surface. When the silicon wafer approaches to another film layer, the viscous force generated therebetween is reduced, and thus the sensitivity of the MEMS device is improved and the probability of out-of-work MEMS device is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11265657
    Abstract: The invention provides a piezoelectric micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) microphone includes a base with a cavity and a piezoelectric diaphragm arranged on the base. The base has a ring base and a support column. The piezoelectric diaphragm includes a plurality of diaphragm sheets. Each diaphragm sheet has a fixing end connected with the support column and a free end suspended above the cavity. The widths of the diaphragm sheets are gradually increased from the fixing ends to the free ends.
