Abstract:
A method of forming at least one Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) includes forming a beam structure and an electrode on an insulator layer, remote from the beam structure. The method further includes forming at least one sacrificial layer over the beam structure, and remote from the electrode. The method further includes forming a lid structure over the at least one sacrificial layer and the electrode. The method further includes providing simultaneously a vent hole through the lid structure to expose the sacrificial layer and to form a partial via over the electrode. The method further includes venting the sacrificial layer to form a cavity. The method further includes sealing the vent hole with material. The method further includes forming a final via in the lid structure to the electrode, through the partial via.
Abstract:
A dual bond pad structure for a wafer with laser die attachment and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The method includes forming a bonding layer on a surface of a substrate. The method further includes forming solder bumps on the bonding layer. The method further includes patterning the bonding layer to form bonding pads some of which comprise the solder bumps thereon. The method further includes attaching a laser diode to selected bonding pads using solder connections formed on the laser diode. The method further includes attaching an interposer substrate to the solder bumps formed on the bonding pads.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and structures for detecting residual material on semiconductor wafers are provided. A method includes scanning a test structure including topographic features on a surface of a semiconductor wafer. The method further includes determining, based on the scanning, that the test structure includes an amount of a residual material of a sacrificial layer that exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract:
A Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS). The MEMS includes a lower chamber with a wiring layer and an upper chamber which is connected to the lower chamber. A MEMS beam is suspended between the upper chamber and the lower chamber. A lid structure encloses the upper chamber, which is devoid of structures that interfere with a MEMS beam. The lid structure has a surface that is conformal to a sacrificial material vented from the upper chamber.
