CMOS-MEMS INTEGRATED DEVICE INCLUDING A CONTACT LAYER AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

A method for forming a MEMS device is disclosed. The MEMS device includes a MEMS substrate and a base substrate. The MEMS substrate, where includes a handle layer, a device layer and an insulating layer in between. The method includes the sequential steps of: providing a standoff on the device layer; etching a via through the device layer and the insulating layer; providing a contact layer within the via, wherein the contact layer provides electrical connection between the device layer and the handle layer; providing a bonding layer on the standoff; and bonding the bonding layer to pads on the base substrate.
