    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a MEMS device with a magnetic film disposed on a first substrate, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the magnetic film is disposed on a planar front surface of the first substrate such that depositing and patterning processes of the magnetic film is improved. A sensing gap of a MEMS device associated with the magnetic film is located between the magnetic film and a recessed lateral surface of a second substrate. The second substrate is bonded to the first substrate at front surfaces of the first and second substrate. Forming the magnetic film on the planar front allows for patterning of the magnetic film without leaving unwanted residues of magnetic material. Without the unwanted residue of magnetic material, less contamination from the magnetic material is introduced after dry etching and passivation processes, improving yield and reliability of the MEMS device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a plurality of MEMs device having a plurality of cavities with different pressures on a wafer package system, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by providing a work-piece having a plurality of microelectromechanical system (MEMs) devices. A cap wafer is bonded onto the work-piece in a first ambient environment having a first pressure. The bonding forms a plurality of cavities abutting the plurality of MEMs devices, which are held at the first pressure. One or more openings are formed in one or more of the plurality of cavities leading to a gas flow path that could be held at a pressure level different from the first pressure. The one or more openings in the one or more of the plurality of cavities are then sealed in a different ambient environment having a different pressure, thereby causing the one or more of the plurality of cavities to be held at the different pressure.
