Abstract:
One embodiment of the invention comprises a MEMS structure further comprising: a MEMS device (240) having a first surface with one or more contact structures (244, 245 and 246) thereon connected to functional elements of the MEMS device (240), a dielectric layer (100) overlying the first surface defining openings therein through which the contact structures (244, 245 and 246) are exposed, a patterned metallization layer (254, 255 and 256) comprising conductive material extending from the contact structures (244, 245 and 246) through the openings in the dielectric layer (100) and onto a surface of the dielectric layer and a first heat sink (190) in thermal communication with the metallization layer (254, 255 and 256).
