A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) package assembly and a method of manufacturing the same are provided for Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems. A MEMS package assembly includes a MEMS chip including a front-side surface and a back-side surface, the MEMS chip further including a LIDAR MEMS mirror configured to receive light and reflect the light as reflected light; and a cavity cap disposed on the front-side surface of the MEMS chip and forms a cavity that surrounds the LIDAR MEMS mirror such that the LIDAR MEMS mirror is sealed from an environment, the cavity cap having an asymmetrical shape such that a transmission surface of the cavity cap, through which the light and the reflected light is transmitted, is tilted at a tilt angle with respect to the front-side surface of the MEMS chip.
