Abstract:
A MEMS wafer (46) includes a front side (52) having a plurality of MEMS structure sites (60) at which MEMS structures (50) are located. A method (40) for protecting the MEMS structures (50) includes applying (44) a non-active feature (66) on the front side of the MEMS wafer in a region that is devoid of the MEMS structures and mounting (76) the front side of the MEMS wafer in a dicing frame (86) such that a back side (74) of the MEMS wafer is exposed. The MEMS wafer is then diced (102) from the back side into a plurality of MEMS dies (48).
