Semiconductor-centered MEMS (100) integrates the movable MEMS parts, such as mechanical elements, flexible membranes, and sensors, with the low-cost device package, and leaving only the electronics and signal-processing parts in the integrated circuitry of the semiconductor chip. The package is substrate-based and has an opening through the thickness of the substrate. Substrate materials include polymer tapes with attached metal foil, and polymer-based and ceramic-based multi-metal-layer dielectric composites with attached metal foil. The movable part is formed from the metal foil attached to a substrate surface and extends at least partially across the opening. The chip is flip-assembled to span at least partially across the membrane, and is separated from the membrane by a gap. |
