  • Patent number: 9346668
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a molded cavity substrate Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) package may comprise a MEMS electronic component, a base substrate comprising a first conductive through via, a molded ring coupled to the base substrate, and a lid substrate comprising dielectric material and a metal layer. The molded ring comprises a second conductive through via and a molded cavity, and the MEMS electronic component is located within the molded cavity. The base substrate may comprise a laminate substrate. The lid substrate may comprise a cavity port. A base assembly mounting adhesive may couple an inner surface of the lid to a principal surface of the molded ring. The dielectric material may comprise mold material. The molded ring may comprise mold compound adherent to an outer region of an inner surface of the base substrate with a central region of the base substrate exposed by the molded ring.

  • Patent number: 9029962
    Abstract: A molded ring includes a molded cavity of a molded cavity substrate MEMS package. The molded ring is formed by molding a dielectric material directly upon a substrate. As molding is a relatively simple and low cost process, the molded ring and thus molded cavity are formed at a minimal cost. This, in turn, minimizes the cost of the molded cavity substrate MEMS package.
