The present disclosure relates to a wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP) with a stress absorbing cap substrate. The cap substrate is bonded to a die through a bond ring and a bond pad arranged on an upper surface of the cap substrate. A through substrate via (TSV) extends from the bond pad, through the cap substrate, to a lower surface of the cap substrate. Further, recesses in the upper surface extend around the bond pad and along sidewalls of the bond ring. The recesses absorb induced stress, thereby mitigating any device offset in the die.

Some embodiments relate to multiple MEMS devices that are integrated together on a single substrate. A device substrate comprising first and second micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) devices is bonded to a capping structure. The capping structure comprises a first cavity arranged over the first MEMS device and a second cavity arranged over the second MEMS device. The first cavity is filled with a first gas at a first gas pressure. The second cavity is filled with a second gas at a second gas pressure, which is different from the first gas pressure. A recess is arranged within a lower surface of the capping structure. The recess abuts the second cavity. A vent is arranged within the capping structure. The vent extends from a top of the recess to the upper surface of the capping structure. A lid is arranged within the vent and configured to seal the second cavity.
