Air cavity packages and methods for producing air cavity packages containing sintered bonded components, multipart window frames, and/or other unique structural features are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating an air cavity package includes the step or process of forming a first metal particle-containing precursor layer between a base flange and a window frame positioned over the base flange. A second metal particle-containing precursor layer is further formed between the base flange and a microelectronic device positioned over the base flange. The metal particle-containing precursor layers are sintered substantially concurrently at a maximum processing temperature less than melt point(s) of metal particles within the layers to produce a first sintered bond layer from the first precursor layer joining the window frame to the base flange and to produce a second sintered bond layer from the second precursor layer joining the microelectronic device to the base flange.
