Motivation

MEMS packaging is much more expensive, heavy and large than in case of integrated circuits packaging.

MEMS often reaches more than 70% of the total cost of the microsystem.

Higher temperature may damage metallization layers and cause considerable stress in the bonded materials.

Structure Design

A cavity with desired thickness is formed for cap structure by using KOH wet etching.

Dimensions of the microcap are determined such that the width and the length are 800 and 1100um.

Material Properties

The proposed packaging method used the polymer as a cap structure and the intermediate adhesive layer.

Bonding Strength

The bonding strength of the bonded pair for various bonding temperatures was measured by pull testing.

Fig. shows the tensile test curves under different bonding temperatures.

The maximum strength is 15.7 MPa at 120 .℃

Packaging Results

The thickness of the microcap and cavity were 50um and 30um.

Polymers are by far more permeable to gas and moisture than ceramics or metal sealants.

They investigated sputtering copper films(1um) as a diffusion barrier.

Conclusion

This method provides a simple process, easy assembly and low temperature processing.

The optimal bonding temperature was 120 .℃

SU-8 adhesive bonding shows a strong bonding tensile strength about 7-17MPa.
