    摘要: Methods for bonding two wafers are disclosed. In one aspect, a first wafer includes an integrated circuit and the second wafer including a MEMS device. The method comprises depositing a bond pad on a metal on the first wafer and sequentially bonding the first wafer to the second wafer utilizing first and second temperatures. The second wafer is bonded to the bond pad at the first temperature and the bond pad and the metal are bonded at the second temperature. In another aspect, a first wafer including an integrated circuit, the second wafer includes a MEMS device. The method comprises depositing a bond pad on a metal on one of the first wafer and the second wafer and bonding the first wafer to the second wafer at a first temperature via a direct bond interface. The method includes bonding the bond pad to the metal at a second temperature.

    摘要: An integrated MEMS device comprises two substrates where the first and second substrates are coupled together and have two enclosures there between. One of the first and second substrates includes an outgassing source layer and an outgassing barrier layer to adjust pressure within the two enclosures. The method includes depositing and patterning an outgassing source layer and a first outgassing barrier layer on the substrate, resulting in two cross-sections. In one of the two cross-sections a top surface of the outgassing source layer is not covered by the outgassing barrier layer and in the other of the two cross-sections the outgassing source layer is encapsulated in the outgassing barrier layer. The method also includes depositing conformally a second outgassing barrier layer and etching the second outgassing barrier layer such that a spacer of the second outgassing barrier layer is left on sidewalls of the outgassing source layer.

    摘要: Various embodiments provide for a method for roughening a surface of a MEMs device or the surface of a CMOS surface. A first material can be deposited in a thin layer over a surface made of a second material. After heating, the first and second materials, they can partially melt and interdiffuse, forming an alloy. The first material can then be removed and the alloy is removed at the same time. The surface of the second material that is left behind has then been roughened due to the interdiffusion of the first and second materials.

    摘要: Provided herein is an apparatus including a cavity in a first side of a first silicon wafer, and an oxide layer on the first side and in the cavity. A first side of a second silicon wafer is bonded to the first side of the first silicon wafer. A gap control structure is on a second side of the second silicon wafer, and a MEMS structure in the second silicon wafer. A eutectic bond is bonding the second side of the second silicon wafer to a third silicon wafer. A lower cavity is between the second side of the silicon wafer and the third silicon wafer, wherein the gap control structure is outside of the lower cavity and the eutectic bond.
