AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional wafer construction processes for MEMS devices damage adhesion metals, leading to gaps or scratches that prevent proper hermetic sealing, and require double-sided handling, which complicates the bonding process.

Method used

A method involving resist spinning, pathway formation, depression etching, and selective adhesion metal and indium deposition to create self-aligned depressions for low-temperature bonding, ensuring adhesion metals are not damaged during handling and allowing for a hermetic seal with reduced seal area.

Benefits of technology

Enables double-sided wafer processing without damaging adhesion metals, forming a robust hermetic seal with reduced seal area and multiple shear points, enhancing bond strength and reducing seal line width.
