Chip scale surface-mountable packaging method for electronic and mems devices

Abstract

A chip scale surface-mountable packaging method for electronic and micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) devices is provided. The chip scale surface-mountable packaging method includes: (a) forming an interconnection and sealing pattern as a deep trench in one surface of a conductive cover substrate using semiconductor fabricating and micromachining techniques; (b) filling the trench as the pattern of the cover substrate with an insulating material such as glass or ceramic, and planarizing the surface of the cover to form a bonding pattern; (c) accurately aligning the cover substrate with a device substrate, in which electronic or MEMS devices are integrated, and bonding the cover substrate and the device substrate; (d) polishing the other surface of the cover substrate and forming an electrode pattern thereon; and (e) dicing the sealed and interconnected substrates to form a complete chip scale package. Thus, both sealing of the electronic or MEMS devices and their interconnection with external devices can be achieved at a wafer level.
