Abstract

See full text

We describe a method of fabricating an optical MEMS spatial light modulator (SLM). The method comprises providing an optical MEMS SLM wafer bearing multiple optical MEMS SLM devices and spin coating a glass wafer with an organic adhesive, in some preferred embodiments benzocyclobutene. The adhesive is patterned, preferably by uv lithography, to define multiple ring-shaped bond lines each sized to fit around one of the SLM devices, and the glass wafer is then bonded to the MEMS SLM wafer, preferably at a temperature of between 100° C. and 450° C., such that each of the ring-shaped bond lines encompasses a respective SLM device. A portion of the glass wafer adjacent an SLM device is then removed to reveal electrical connectors to the device and the devices are tested before dicing and packaging, to enable selective packaging of working devices.
