ELECTRICAL BYPASS STRUCTURE FOR MEMS DEVICE

摘要

An apparatus including a bypass structure for complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) and/or microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices, and method for fabricating such apparatus, is disclosed. An exemplary apparatus includes a first substrate; a second substrate that includes a MEMS device; an insulator disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and an electrical bypass structure disposed in the insulator layer that contacts a portion of the first substrate, wherein the electrical bypass structure is electrically isolated from the MEMS device in the second substrate and any device included in the first substrate.
