Abstract: A MEMS structure is provided. The MEMS structure includes a substrate and a backplate, the substrate has an opening portion, and the backplate is disposed on one side of the substrate and has acoustic holes. The MEMS structure also includes a diaphragm disposed between the substrate and the backplate, and the diaphragm extends across the opening portion of the substrate and includes outer ventilation holes and inner ventilation holes arranged in a concentric manner. The outer ventilation holes and the inner ventilation holes are relatively arranged in a ring shape and surround the center of the diaphragm. The MEMS structure further includes a pillar disposed between the backplate and the diaphragm. The pillar prevents the diaphragm from being electrically connected to the backplate.
