Abstract: In described examples, a MEMS device component includes a passivation layer formed from a vapor and/or a liquid compound that may include precursors. The compound may contain amino acid, antioxidants, nitriles or other compounds, and may be disposed on a surface of the MEMS device component and/or a package or package portion thereof. If the compound is a precursor, it may be treated to cause formation of the passivation layer from the precursor.

Abstract: A device includes a die with a metallization stack. The device includes a substrate with a first region, a second region and a third region that underly the metallization stack and a first isolation trench filled with a polymer dielectric that extends between the first region and the second region of the substrate. The device also includes a second isolation trench filled with the polymer dielectric that extends between the second region and the third region. The polymer dielectric overlays a periphery of the substrate.

Abstract: A microelectronic device package includes a host material and a gettering material. The microelectronic device package also includes a polymeric component between the host material and the gettering material. The polymeric component substantially encapsulates the gettering material. The microelectronic device package further includes a fluorochemical lubricant. The polymeric component serves to prevent a reaction between the fluorochemical lubricant and the gettering material. Alternatively, the fluorochemical lubricant may be encapsulated by a polymeric component and may be released upon an increase in temperature during or after a packaging step.

Abstract: Methods for depositing a measured amount of a species in a sealed cavity. In one example, a method for depositing molecules in a sealed cavity includes depositing a selected number of microcapsules in a cavity. Each of the microcapsules contains a predetermined amount of a first fluid. The cavity is sealed after the microcapsules are deposited. After the cavity is sealed the microcapsules are ruptured to release molecules of the first fluid into the cavity.

Abstract: A method includes forming a plurality of layers of an oxide and a metal on a substrate. For example, the layers may include a metal layer sandwiched between silicon oxide layers. A non-conductive structure such as glass is then bonded to one of the oxide layers. An antenna can then be patterned on the non-conductive structure, and a cavity can be created in the substrate. Another metal layer is deposited on the surface of the cavity, and an iris is patterned in the metal layer to expose the one of the oxide layers. Another metal layer is formed on a second substrate and the two substrates are bonded together to thereby seal the cavity.
