    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a MEMS device includes disposing at least one bonding portion having a smaller bonding area in a region where an airtight chamber will be formed, and disposing a metal getter on a bonding surface of the bonding portion. According to this structure, when substrates are bonded to define the airtight chamber, the metal getter is squeezed out of the bonding position due to the larger bonding pressure of the bonding portion with a smaller bonding area. Then, the metal getter is activated to absorb the moisture in the airtight chamber. According to the above process, no additional procedure is needed to remove the moisture in the airtight chamber. A MEMS device manufactured by the above manufacturing method is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10575374
    Abstract: An emitter for an LED-based lighting device can incorporate “flip-chip” LEDs, in which all electrical contacts are disposed on the bottom surface of the chip. The emitter base can be a multilayer high-temperature cofired ceramic (HTCC) substrate, with metal traces formed between the layers and vias through the layers to join traces in different layers, thereby providing electrical connectivity to each LED. The paths can be arranged such that current can be supplied independently to different subsets of the LEDs. The top layer of the emitter base is fabricated with exposed vias at the top surface. Metal pads are then printed onto the exposed vias on the top surface, and flip-chip LEDs are bonded to the metal pads, e.g., using solder.
