Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method of forming a bonded structure is provided. The method may include forming at least one first under bump metallurgy (UBM) structure on a first substrate, forming a first gold layer on the at least one first under bump metallurgy structure; forming a tin layer on the first gold layer, forming an indium layer on the tin layer, forming an inhibition layer configured to inhibit oxygen penetration on the indium layer, and forming at least one second under bump metallurgy structure on a second substrate, forming s second gold layer on the at least one second under bump metallurgy structure; and bringing the inhibition layer into contact with the second gold layer at a predetermined temperature to form a resultant intermetallic structure between the first substrate and the second substrate thereby bonding the first substrate to the second substrate and forming the bonded structure.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a wafer level package may be provided. The wafer level package may include a device wafer including a MEMS device, a cap wafer disposed over the device wafer, at least one first interconnect disposed between the device wafer and the cap wafer and configured to provide an electrical connection between the device wafer and the cap wafer, and a conformal sealing ring disposed between the device wafer and the cap wafer and configured to surround the at least one first interconnect and the MEMS device so as to provide a conformally sealed environment for the at least one first interconnect and the MEMS device, wherein the conformal sealing ring may be configured to conform to a respective suitable surface of the device wafer and the cap wafer when the device wafer may be bonded to the cap wafer. A method of forming a wafer level package may also be provided.
