Abstract:
A multi-layer sealing film for high seal yield is provided. In some embodiments, a substrate comprises a vent opening extending through the substrate, from an upper side of the substrate to a lower side of the substrate. The upper side of the substrate has a first pressure, and the lower side of the substrate has a second pressure different than the first pressure. The multi-layer sealing film covers and seals the vent opening to prevent the first pressure from equalizing with the second pressure through the vent opening. Further, the multi-layer sealing film comprises a pair of metal layers and a barrier layer sandwiched between metal layers. Also provided is a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) package comprising the multilayer sealing film, and a method for manufacturing the multi-layer sealing film.
