  • Publication number: 20040016995
    Abstract: An exemplary method and apparatus for MEMS device control-chip integration and packaging comprises inter alia: a device substrate (300) comprising at least one MEMS device element (315) and at least a first interconnect pad (350); and a control-chip lid substrate (460) comprising at least a second interconnect pad (410), wherein the first interconnect pad (350) is suitably adapted for substantial engagement with the second interconnect pad (410) in order to communicably connect an integrated control chip (400) to a MEMS device element (315). Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to improve component density and/or form factor for any MEMS device. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention representatively provides for HV control-chip driver integration and packaging of RF MEMS switches.
