Abstract
A MEMS package includes a substrate having an L-shaped cross-section. The substrate includes a vertical portion having a front surface and a back surface, and a horizontal portion protruding from a lower part of the front surface of the vertical portion, wherein the front surface of the vertical portion includes a mounting region. A MEMS die is mounted on the mounting region such that the MEMS die is oriented substantially parallel to the front surface; a lid attached to the front surface of the substrate while covering the MEMS die; and a plurality of leads formed on a bottom surface of the substrate. The leads can extend substantially parallel to one another, and substantially perpendicular to the front surface. The MEMS die can be oriented substantially perpendicular to a PCB substrate on which the package is mounted.
