Abstract
A wafer level package filter includes a device wafer having an acoustic wave device disposed on its surface, the acoustic wave device including at least an acoustic wave resonator associated with a piezoelectric substrate and a connecting pad. A capped substrate includes circuitry having inductors and capacitors. The capped substrate has a coefficient of thermal expansion significantly unequal to a coefficient of thermal expansion for the piezoelectric substrate. An adhesive bond connects the capped substrate to the device wafer for encapsulating the acoustic wave device within a cavity. A dielectric overcoat is deposited over a portion of the capped substrate, and a metallization layer extends over a portion of the dielectric layer connecting the capped substrate circuitry to a connecting pad of the acoustic wave device. Optionally, a bond connecting the capped substrate to the device wafer may provide an interlocking connection.
