Abstract
Microelectronic packages having hermetic cavities are provided, as are methods for producing such packages. In one embodiment, the microelectronic package includes a sensor die having first and second Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) transducer structures formed thereon. First and second cap pieces are coupled to the sensor die by, for example, direct or indirect bonding. A first hermetic cavity encloses the first MEMS transducer structure and is at least partially defined by the first cap piece and the sensor die. Similarly, a second hermetic cavity encloses the second MEMS transducer structure and at least partially defined by the second cap piece and the sensor die. A vent hole is fluidly coupled to the first hermetic cavity and is sealed by the second cap piece.
