Abstract: A method of forming an IC (integrated circuit) device is provided. The method includes receiving a first wafer including a first substrate and including a plasma-reflecting layer disposed on an upper surface thereof. The plasma-reflecting layer is configured to reflect a plasma therefrom. A dielectric protection layer is formed on a lower surface of a second wafer, wherein the second wafer includes a second substrate. The second wafer is bonded to the first wafer, such that a cavity is formed between the plasma-reflecting layer and the dielectric protection layer. An etch process is performed with the plasma to form an opening extending from an upper surface of the second wafer and through the dielectric protection layer into the cavity. A resulting structure of the above method is also provided.
