Title:
PACKAGING MICROELECTROMECHANICAL STRUCTURES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003083883
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A MEMS device (14) may be formed in a hermetic cavity (42) by sealing a pair of semiconductor structures (22, 32) to one another, enclosing the MEMS device (12). The two structures (22, 32) may be coupled using surface mount techniques as one example, so that the temperatures utilized may be compatible with many MEMS applications. Electrical interconnection layers (40) in one or the other of these structures may be utilized to allow electrical interconnections from the exterior world to the MEMS components (14) within the cavity (42).
