A MEMS comprises a back-plate (7) having an inner portion (7a) and an outer portion (7b), the inner portion (7a) connected to the outer portion (7b) by a sidewall (7c). A raised section or anchor ring (60) is formed in the outer portion (7b) of the back-plate, in a region of the back-plate near the inner perimeter of the outer portion. The anchor ring may comprise angled sidewalls. The thickness of the back-plate may be greater than the thickness of the material supporting the anchor ring. Embodiments are also disclosed in which a membrane comprises a raised portion and an outer portion connected by an angled sidewall. |
