Reliability of Hermetic RF MEMS Wafer Level Packaging Using Au-Sn Eutectic Bonding

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a low temperature hermetic wafer level packaging scheme for the RFMEMS devices is presented. For hermetic sealing, Au-Sn multilayer metallization with a square loop of 70 %m in width is performed. The size of the MEMS package is 1mm × 1mm × 700 %m. The shear strength and hermeticity of the package satisfy the requirements of MIL-STD-883F. The total insertion loss for the packaging is 0.075 dB at 2 GHz.
