Abstract

See full text

A method for depositing a getter for encapsulation in a device cavity containing a microdevice comprises depositing the getter material while the device wafer and lid wafer are enclosed in a bonding chamber. A plasma sputtering process may be used, wherein by applying a large negative voltage to the lid wafer, a plasma is formed in the low pressure environment within the bonding chamber. The plasma then sputters the getter material from a getter target, and this getter material is directly thereafter sealed within the device cavity of the microdevice, all within the deposition/bonding chamber.
