    Abstract: A Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) device combining a MEMS layer and a Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) Integrated Circuit (IC), and its fabrication method is provided. The fabrication method includes: processing the MEMS layer on a first semiconductor substrate, the MEMS layer including one or more movable structures and one or more anchor structures; processing one or more first contacts on the first semiconductor substrate, each first contact being processed into one of the anchor structures and being configured to bias that anchor structure; processing the CMOS IC on a second semiconductor substrate; processing one or more second contacts on the second semiconductor substrate, each second contact being connected to the CMOS IC; and bonding the first semiconductor substrate to the second semiconductor substrate such that each first contact directly contacts one of the second contacts. The method can allow fabricating the MEMS device without vapor HF etching.
