摘要
In this paper, development of a wafer-level packaging (WLP) process suitable for RF-MEMS applications is presented. The packaging concept is based on a high-resistivity silicon capping substrate that is wafer-level bonded to an RF-MEMS device wafer providing MEMS device protection and vertical electrical signal interconnect. The capping substrate contains Cu-plated through-wafer electrical vias and optional through-substrate cavities allowing for hybrid integration. The RF-MEMS device wafer and the capping substrate are bonded using either solder reflow or an electrically conductive adhesive. After solder bump formation and singulation, this packaging solution results in surface-mount technology compatible components. Moreover, the presented WLP solution allows hybrid integration of additional IC dies that are flip-chip bonded within the capping substrate cavities. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
