1. An integrated MEMS transducer device comprising:
a substrate body having a first electrode on a substrate;
an etch stop layer located on a surface of the substrate;
a suspended micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) diaphragm with a second electrode;
an anchor structure with anchors connecting the MEMS diaphragm to the substrate body; and
a sacrificial layer in between the anchors of the anchor structure, the sacrificial layer comprising:
a first sub-layer of a first material, wherein the first sub-layer is arranged on the etch stop layer, and
a second sub-layer of a second material, wherein the second sub-layer is arranged on the first sub-layer, and
wherein the first and the second material are different materials.
