    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.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming an integrated chip structure. The method includes forming a plurality of interconnect layers within a dielectric structure over a substrate. A dielectric layer arranged along a top of the dielectric structure is patterned to define a via hole exposing an uppermost one of the plurality of interconnect layers. An extension via is formed within the via hole and one or more conductive materials are formed over the dielectric layer and the extension via. The one or more conductive materials are patterned to define a sensing electrode over and electrically coupled to the extension via. A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) substrate is bonded to the substrate. The MEMs substrate is vertically separated from the sensing electrode.

    Abstract: Representative methods for sealing MEMS devices include depositing insulating material over a substrate, forming conductive vias in a first set of layers of the insulating material, and forming metal structures in a second set of layers of the insulating material. The first and second sets of layers are interleaved in alternation. A dummy insulating layer is provided as an upper-most layer of the first set of layers. Portions of the first and second set of layers are etched to form void regions in the insulating material. A conductive pad is formed on and in a top surface of the insulating material. The void regions are sealed with an encapsulating structure. At least a portion of the encapsulating structure is laterally adjacent the dummy insulating layer, and above a top surface of the conductive pad. An etch is performed to remove at least a portion of the dummy insulating layer.
