  • Publication number: 20070004079
    Abstract: A device package includes a device substrate and a cap mounted on the device substrate. The device substrate includes a contact pad. The cap defines a via with a slightly sloped sidewall through the cap, a contactor extending from an interior surface of the cap, a contactor pad over the contactor, a via pad on the interior surface of the cap over the via and coupled to the contactor pad, and a via contact over the exterior surface of the cap and in the via coupled to the via pad. The contactor is offset from the via. When the cap is mounted on the device substrate, the contactor pad on the contactor is pressed and cold welded onto the contact pad on the device substrate.

  • Publication number: 20060099733
    Abstract: The present invention provides a first wafer and a second wafer having a device. A separation layer is formed on the first wafer. A cap is formed on the separation layer. The cap and the second wafer are bonded using a gasket. The first wafer is separated from the cap to form the semiconductor package comprised of the cap, the gasket, and the second wafer.
