Abstract:
A method for encapsulating at least one micro-device, comprising at least the following steps: bonding a face of a first substrate comprising at least one material impermeable to noble gases, in contact with a second substrate comprising glass and with a thickness of about 300 μm or more; etching at least one cavity through the second substrate such that side walls of the cavity are at least partly formed by remaining portions of the second substrate and that an upper wall of the cavity is formed by part of said face of the first substrate; anodic bonding of the remaining portions of the second substrate in contact with a third substrate in which the micro-device is formed, such that the micro-device is encapsulated in the cavity.
Abstract:
A process for encapsulating a microelectronic device, comprising the following steps: make the microelectronic device on a first substrate; make one portion of a first material not permeable to the ambient atmosphere and permeable to a noble gas in a second substrate comprising a second material not permeable to the ambient atmosphere and the noble gas; secure the second substrate to the first substrate, forming at least one cavity inside which the microelectronic device is encapsulated such that said portion of the first material forms part of a wall of the cavity; inject the noble gas into the cavity through the portion of the first material; hermetically seal the cavity towards the ambient atmosphere and the noble gas.
Abstract:
Method of encapsulating at least one microelectronic device, comprising at least the following steps: encapsulate the microelectronic device in a cavity hermetically sealed against air, a cap of the cavity comprising at least one wall permeable to at least one noble gas, inject the noble gas into the cavity through the wall permeable to the noble gas, hermetically seal the cavity against air and the noble gas injected into the cavity.
