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.
