A method for forming a sealed cavity includes bonding a non-conductive structure to a first substrate to form a non-conductive aperture into the first substrate. On a surface of the non-conductive structure opposite the first substrate, the method includes depositing a first metal layer. The method further includes patterning a first iris in the first metal layer, depositing a first dielectric layer on a surface of the first metal layer opposite the non-conductive structure, and patterning an antenna on a surface of the first dielectric layer opposite the first metal layer. The method also includes creating a cavity in the first substrate, depositing a second metal layer on a surface of the cavity, patterning a second iris in the second metal layer, and bonding a second substrate to a surface of the first substrate opposite the non-conductive structure to thereby seal the cavity.
