1. A method for fabricating a MEMS device comprising:

  • forming a first silicon wafer with a first cavity;

    after forming the forming the first silicon wafer, forming a first oxide layer lining the first cavity;

    forming a second silicon wafer, the second silicon wafer comprising a handle wafer, a device wafer, and oxide disposed between the second silicon wafer and the handle wafer;

    bonding the first silicon wafer to the second silicon wafer;

    depositing a second oxide layer on top of the second silicon wafer;

    removing the handle wafer of the second silicon wafer leaving the second oxide layer on the second silicon wafer;

    patterning the second oxide layer;

    depositing a polysilicon layer on the patterned second oxide layer;

    planarizing the polysilicon layer and stopping the planarizing at the second oxide layer;

    removing the second oxide layer;

    depositing and patterning a conductive layer; and

    bonding the second silicon wafer with an electrical connection.
