Abstract:
A MEMS device includes a membrane and a counter electrode structure spaced apart from the membrane. The counter electrode structure includes a non-planar conductive layer. The MEMS device includes an air gap between the membrane and the counter electrode structure. The air gap has a non-uniform thickness.

Claim (Index 8):
A MEMS device comprising:\n a first movable electrode structure; a second movable electrode structure spaced apart from the first movable electrode structure, the first movable electrode structure and the second movable electrode structure enclosing a gap between the first movable electrode structure and the second movable electrode structure, the gap having a gas pressure lower than an ambient pressure; a static electrode structure within the gap and interposed between the first movable electrode structure and the second movable electrode structure; and a plurality of pillars extending through the gap and connecting the first movable electrode structure and the second movable electrode structure, the plurality of pillars extending through the static electrode structure, the plurality of pillars dividing the gap into a plurality of gap regions, different gap regions having different thicknesses, wherein the plurality of pillars have a non-uniform pitch.
