    Abstract: Provided herein is a method including fusion bonding a handle wafer to a first side of a device wafer. A hardmask is deposited on a second side of the device wafer, wherein the second side is planar. The hardmask is etched to form a MEMS device pattern and a standoff pattern. Standoffs are formed on the device wafer, wherein the standoffs are defined by the standoff pattern. A eutectic bond metal is deposited on the standoffs, the device wafer, and the hardmask. A first photoresist is deposited and removed, such that the first photoresist covers the standoffs. The eutectic bond metal is etched using the first photoresist. The MEMS device pattern is etched into the device wafer. The first photoresist and the hardmask are removed.

    Abstract: An integrated MEMS device comprises two substrates where the first and second substrates are coupled together and have two enclosures there between. One of the first and second substrates includes an outgassing source layer and an outgassing barrier layer to adjust pressure within the two enclosures. The method includes depositing and patterning an outgassing source layer and a first outgassing barrier layer on the substrate, resulting in two cross-sections. In one of the two cross-sections a top surface of the outgassing source layer is not covered by the outgassing barrier layer and in the other of the two cross-sections the outgassing source layer is encapsulated in the outgassing barrier layer. The method also includes depositing conformally a second outgassing barrier layer and etching the second outgassing barrier layer such that a spacer of the second outgassing barrier layer is left on sidewalls of the outgassing source layer.
