A microelectromechanical system includes a lower membrane including a plurality of troughs and crests arranged alternately, an upper membrane including a plurality of troughs and crests arranged alternately, and a spacer layer disposed between the lower membrane and the upper membrane. The spacer layer includes counter electrode walls and support walls made of nitride, the counter electrode walls being provided with conductive elements. Chambers are formed between the troughs of the lower membrane and the crest of the upper membrane and the counter electrode walls are suspended in the chambers respectively. The support walls are sandwiched between the crests of the lower membrane and the troughs of the upper membrane with a space formed between adjacent support walls. The spaces between adjacent support walls may be empty or filled with oxide. Unwanted capacitance between the upper and lower membranes is reduced significantly.
