  • Publication number: 20230253950
    Abstract: A stacked AW filter package includes a first substrate stacked on a second substrate. The first substrate has a first AW filter circuit on first surface and a metal layer on a second surface. The second substrate has a second AW filter circuit disposed in a cavity between the metal layer of the first substrate and a third surface of the second substrate. The metal layer is coupled to the second AW filter circuit by a metal interconnect formed in a metallization layer on a side surface of the first substrate. The metal layer provides isolation to reduce cross-talk (e.g., electromagnetic interference) within the stacked AW filter package between the first AW filter circuit and the second AW filter circuit. Including the metal layer in the stacked AW filter package improves signal quality of transmitted and received signals filtered in the first and second AW filter circuits.

  • Publication number: 20230090842
    Abstract: A multi-level stacked AW filter package including a first acoustic wave (AW) filter stacked on a second AW filter employs semiconductor fabrication methods and structures, including a metallization layer comprising interconnects to couple a contact surface to the second AW filter. Each AW filter includes an AW filter circuit on a semiconductor substrate. A second substrate disposed on a frame on the substrate protects the AW filter circuit. In a multi-level AW filter package, the second substrate of the first AW filter comprises a glass substrate with a similar expansion rate as the semiconductor substrate. The interconnects coupling the second AW filter to the contact surface are disposed on insulators on the side wall surfaces of the semiconductor substrates of the first AW filter for isolation. In a stacked AW filter package comprising a single AW filter, the interconnects couple the contact surface to the AW filter.

  • Publication number: 20210395076
    Abstract: A wafer-level package for micro-acoustic devices and a method of manufacture is provided. The package comprises a base wafer with electric device structures. A frame structure is sitting on top of the base wafer enclosing particular device areas for the micro-acoustic devices. A cap wafer provided with a thin polymer coating is bonded to the frame structure to form a closed cavity over each device area and to enclose within the cavity the device structures arranged on the respective device area.

  • Patent number: 9001523
    Abstract: A method for patterning a layer stack with at least one ceramic layer includes providing the ceramic layer, which has at least one plated-through hole. An electrically conductive layer is applied above the ceramic layer, such that the electrically conductive layer is electrically coupled to the at least one plated-through hole. A further layer is deposited onto the electrically conductive layer in the region of the at least one plated-through hole, wherein the further layer includes nickel. The electrically conductive layer is removed outside the region of the at least one plated-through hole. A carrier device patterned in this way can be electrically and mechanically coupled to an electronic component.
