Microelectrochemical systems (MEMS) device having a seal layer arranged over or lining a hole in fluid communication with a cavity of the MEMS device

摘要

A method for manufacturing a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device is provided. According to the method, a semiconductor structure is provided. The semiconductor structure includes an integrated circuit (IC) substrate, a dielectric layer arranged over the IC substrate, and a MEMS substrate arranged over the IC substrate and the dielectric layer to define a cavity between the MEMS substrate and the IC substrate. The MEMS substrate includes a MEMS hole in fluid communication with the cavity and extending through the MEMS substrate. A sealing layer is formed over or lining the MEMS hole to hermetically seal the cavity with a reference pressure while the semiconductor structure is arranged within a vacuum having the reference pressure. The semiconductor structure resulting from application of the method is also provided.
