A cutting method for wafer-level packaging capable of protecting the contact pad, in which several cavities and precutting lines are formed at the front surface of a cap wafer, and the depth of each precutting line is lesser than the thickness of the cap wafer, followed by the bonding of the cap wafer to the device wafer, which has several devices and several bonding pads disposed on the surface of the device wafer, followed by performing a wafer dicing process, along the precutting lines cutting through the cap wafer, and after removing a portion of the cap wafer that is not bonded to the device wafer, for exposing the bonding pads at the surface of the device wafer, and finally performing a dicing process for forming many packaged dies.

Wafer-level packaging cutting method capable of protecting contact pads

A cap wafer with cavities is etched through areas not covered by a patterned photoresist to form a plurality of openings. The cap wafer is bonded to a transparent wafer at the surface having the cavities and is segmented around the cavities to form a plurality of cap structures. The cap structures are hermetically sealed to a device wafer to form hermetic windows over devices and pads located on the device wafer.

Method for wafer level packaging and fabricating cap structures

A cap wafer with patterned film formed thereon is etched through areas not covered by the patterned film to form a plurality of openings. Then, the cap wafer is bonded to a transparent wafer, and the cap wafer around the pattern film is segmented to form a plurality of cap structures. A device wafer with a plurality of devices and a plurality of contact pads electrically connected to the devices is subsequently provided. The cap structures and the device wafer are hermetically sealed to form a plurality of hermetic windows on the devices.

A first wafer is provided, and a photosensitive masking-and-bonding pattern is formed on the surface of the first wafer. Then, an etching process using the photosensitive masking-and-bonding pattern as a hard mask is performed to form a wafer pattern on the surface of the first wafer. Finally, the first wafer is bonded to a second wafer with the photosensitive masking-and-bonding pattern.

Method for bonding wafers

A method of forming a wafer backside interconnecting wire includes forming a mask layer on the back surface, the mask layer including at least an opening corresponding to the bonding pad, performing a first etching process from the back surface to remove the wafer unprotected by the mask layer to form a recess, removing the mask layer, and forming an interconnecting wire on the back surface.
