Abstract:
The integrated CMOS-MEMS device includes a CMOS structure, a cap structure, and a MEMS structure. The CMOS structure, fabricated on a first substrate, includes at least one conducting layer. The cap structure, including vias passing through the cap structure, has an isolation layer deposited on its first side and has a conductive routing layer deposited on its second side. The MEMS structure is deposited between the first substrate and the cap structure. The integrated CMOS-MEMS device also includes a conductive connector that passes through one of the vias and through an opening in the isolation layer on the cap structure. The conductive connector conductively connects a conductive path in the conductive routing layer on the cap structure with the at least one conducting layer of the CMOS structure.
