This disclosure provides systems and methods for forming a metal thin film shield over a thin film cap to protect electromechanical systems devices in a cavity beneath. In one aspect, a dual or multi layer thin film structure is used to seal a electromechanical device. For example, a metal thin film shield can be mated over an oxide thin film cap to encapsulate the electromechanical device and prevent degradation due to wafer thinning, dicing and package assembly induced stresses, thereby strengthening the survivability of the electromechanical device in the encapsulated cavity. During redistribution layer processing, a metal thin film shield, such as a copper layer, is formed over the wafer surface, patterned and metalized.

Electromechanical systems dilation mode resonator (DMR) structures are disclosed. The DMR includes a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and a piezoelectric layer formed of a piezoelectric material. The piezoelectric layer has dimensions including a lateral distance (D), in a plane of an X axis and a Y axis perpendicular to the X axis, and a thickness (T), along a Z axis perpendicular to the X axis and the Y axis. A numerical ratio of the thickness and the lateral distance, T/D, is configured to provide a mode of vibration of the piezoelectric layer with displacement along the Z axis and along the plane of the X axis and the Y axis responsive to a signal provided to one or more of the electrodes. Ladder filter circuits can be constructed with DMRs as series and/or shunt elements, and the resonators can have spiral configurations.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for combining devices deposited on a first substrate, with integrated circuits formed on a second substrate such as a semiconducting substrate or a glass substrate. The first substrate may be a glass substrate. The first substrate may include conductive vias. A power combiner circuit may be deposited on a first side of the first substrate. The power combiner circuit may include passive devices deposited on at least the first side of the first substrate. The integrated circuit may include a power amplifier circuit disposed on and configured for electrical connection with the power combiner circuit, to form a power amplification system. The conductive vias may include thermal vias configured for conducting heat from the power amplification system and/or interconnect vias configured for electrical connection between the power amplification system and a conductor on a second side of the first substrate.

摘要:
A block layer deposited on a substrate before deposition of metal lines and etching of a through via enables low cost fabrication of through vias in a substrate using isotropic etching processes. For example, wet etching of a glass substrate may be used to fabricate through glass vias without undercut from the wet etching shorting metal lines on the glass substrate. The block layer prevents contact between a conductive layer lining the through via with more than one metal line on the substrate. The manufacturing process allows stacking of devices on substrates such as glass substrates and connecting the devices with through vias.
