MEMS Packaging - Thermal Molding Process TMP

We manufacture highly-precise, structured glass wafers for the WLP of MEMS and MOEMS.

Different manufacturing processes offer an economical and industrially useful wafer level encapsulation solution with important benefits for the customer for a broad range of MEMS, RF-MEMS and MOEMS.

 

Applications: Various applications can be found where micro-electro-mechanical systems are used.

 

Encapsulation wafers with complex structures can be manufactured with a high level of precision at relatively low cost. Almost any structures and cavities can be formed or

shaped into the glass on customer's request.

 

Material: Glass wafers are manufactured of Borosilicate glass (Borofloat 33®, Pyrex® 7740).

 

Features:

  • Thermal coefficient of expansion adapted to the Si-Wafer
  • A great amount of freedom for designing the cavities, even non-uniform depths
  • Full cross-sectrion control
  • Transparent
  • Microcrack and chip-free structure surface
  • Tight form and position tolerances
  • Perfect edges
  • Transparent surfaces down to 40 nm RMS
  • Very even and parallel surfaces, low levels of roughness
  • Ready-to-bond
  • Alignment marks

 

Integration of defined apertures or optical windows for use with MOEMS is possible. With these new encapsulation products BERLINER GLAS can support the manufacturing of complex sensor systems, from prototype up to series production.

 

 

Wafer Packaging: Specialties

defined apertures

Adapted to customer’s demands we manufacture wafers or interposer with almost any structured apertures in outline, angle and diameter. Rectangular, round, oval or multi-angular shapes are possible.

 

Standard edge shape: limited to at least 10°.

Steeper angles up to vertical walls are possible for certain shapes.

 

Wafers with apertures are characterized the same as all the other products – by very high position accuracy and an outstanding design sharpness that is accomplished by total cross-section control. Perfect edges and chip-free surfaces are guaranteed.

 

cavities and apertures: MEMS integrated

BERLINER GLAS offers glass wafers with defined apertures, to ensure that the electronic functionality can also be tested in the current manufacturing process.

 

 

The cavities and apertures can be applied in almost any configuration, number and size on the glass wafer. Besides that, the apertures offer an access to the bondpads for tests and contacting.

 

Additionally we offer alignment marks, so-called fiducials, with a diameter down to 200 µm into the material to allow the optical adjustment of both wafers.

 

Advantage:  One tool for cavity, aperture and alignment marks guarantees highest position accuracy.
