    Abstract: A press including a passive load leveler for bonding integrated circuit wafers, chips or substrates. The press includes a press frame, a press ram moveable relative to the frame, a first platen coupled to the press ram, and a second platen coupled to the press frame. The load leveler is coupled between the press frame and the second platen, and includes a main body having a first surface coupled to the press frame a plurality of pistons extending from the main body through a second surface and being in contact with the second platen. Each of the pistons is positioned within a piston chamber that is in fluid communication with a network of channels within the main body, where the pistons move relative to each other through a working fluid within the channels so as to maintain the first and second platens parallel to each other under the ram pressure.

    Abstract: A sensor assembly for determining whether a hermetically sealed cavity between opposing substrate wafers in a wafer level packaged (WLP) chip is leaking. The sensor assembly includes a thermal insulating layer provided within the cavity, and a heater and temperature sensor deposited on the insulation layer. The thermal insulating layer is made of a suitable dielectric that is compatible with WLP and MMIC fabrication processes and can be, for example, benzocyclobutene (BCB) or polyimide. The sensor is responsive to a current that heats the thermal insulation layer so that heat dissipated by the thermal insulation layer is drawn away by gas between the layer and the substrate that determines the temperature of the sensor, which is detected.
