    摘要: A method includes aligning a germanium feature on a first CMOS wafer with an aluminum feature on a second CMOS wafer. The aluminum feature and the germanium feature are pressed together. A eutectic bond is formed connecting the aluminum feature to the germanium feature. The eutectic bond has a melting point which is lower than the melting point of aluminum and the melting point of germanium.

    摘要: Provided herein is a method including forming a cavity in a first side of a first silicon wafer. An oxide layer is formed on the first side and in the cavity. The first side of the first silicon wafer is bonded to a first side of a second silicon wafer, and a gap control structure is deposited on a second side of the second silicon wafer. A MEMS structure is formed in the second silicon wafer. The second side of the second silicon wafer is eutecticly bonded to the third silicon wafer, and the eutectic bonding includes pressing the second silicon wafer to the third silicon wafer.

    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: Provided herein is a method including forming a trench in a handle substrate, and a trench lining is formed in the trench. A first cavity and a second cavity are formed in the handle substrate, wherein the first cavity is connected to the trench. A first MEMS structure and the handle substrate are sealed for maintaining a first pressure within the trench and the first cavity. A second MEMS structure and the handle substrate are sealed for maintaining the first pressure within the second cavity. A portion of the trench lining is exposed, and the first pressure is changed to a second pressure within the first cavity. The first cavity and the trench are sealed to maintain the second pressure within the trench and the first cavity.
