Abstract
A MEMS device, comprising a plurality of stacked layers, includes a plurality of solder couplings that mechanically fasten and electrically couple the MEMS device to an external component. The plurality of solder couplings is connected atop a portion of an upper surface that extends past an edge surface of a MEMS layer to form a shelf and are electrically connected via the shelf to receive signals generated by the MEMS device. These signals are provided to the external component via the solder couplings.
