MEMS device and manufacturing process thereof

MEMS devices require special cavity formation and sealing steps such as wafer bonding which reduce the yield and increase the cost. In addition, it is difficult to form a cavity of a large area by the LSI process owing to a residual stress of a sealing film which will be a lid. This leads to a difficulty of realizing an integrated MEMS having a MEMS and a high-performance LSI mounted on one substrate. The lid (or diaphragm) covering therewith a cavity is equipped with slits or beams. During the formation of the cavity, the slits are deformed to absorb and relax the internal stress of the thin sealing film. Then, the cavity is sealed by filling the open portions of the film overlying the cavity between the inside and outside of the cavity. The cavity is formed by removing a portion of the interlayer film of LSI multilevel interconnects and the lid is made of a LSI-process thin film.
