WAFER-PAIR HAVING CHAMBERS SEALED WITH A DEPOSITED LAYER AND METHOD FOR FORMING WAFER-PAIR

摘要

A wafer-pair having at least one recess in one wafer and the recess formed into a chamber with the attaching of the other wafer which has a port plugged with a deposited layer on its external surface. The deposition of the layer may be performed in a very low pressure environment, thus assuring the same kind of environment in the sealed chamber. The chamber may enclose at least one device such as a thermoelectric sensor, bolometer, emitter or other kind of device. The wafer-pair typically will have numerous chambers, and may be divided into chips.
