Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) package comprising a wire-bond damper. A housing structure overlies a support substrate, and a MEMS structure is between the support substrate and the housing structure. The MEMS structure comprises an anchor, a spring, and a movable mass. The spring extends from the anchor to the movable mass to suspend and allow movement of the movable mass in a cavity between the support substrate and the housing structure. The wire-bond damper is on the movable mass or structure surrounding the movable mass. For example, the wire-bond damper may be on a top surface of the movable mass. As another example, the wire-bond damper may be on the support substrate, laterally between the anchor and the movable mass. Further, the wire-bond damper comprises a wire formed by wire bonding and configured to dampen shock to the movable mass.
