Microphone device with single crystal piezoelectric film and method of forming the same

Abstract

A method of forming a microphone device includes: forming a through-hole in a substrate wafer; providing a second wafer; bonding the second wafer to the substrate wafer; and forming a top electrode over a first surface of a single-crystal piezoelectric film of the second wafer. The second wafer may include the single-crystal piezoelectric film. The single-crystal piezoelectric film may have a first surface and an opposing second surface. The second wafer may further include a bottom electrode arranged adjacent to the second surface, and a support member over the single-crystal piezoelectric film. The through-hole in substrate wafer may be at least substantially aligned with at least one of the top electrode and the bottom electrode.
