A method for packaging a microelectronic device in an hermetically sealed cavity and managing an atmosphere of the cavity with a dedicated hole, including making said cavity between a support and a cap layer such that a sacrificial material and the device are arranged in the cavity; removing the sacrificial material through at least one release hole, and hermetically sealing the release hole; making a portion of wettable material on the cap layer, around a blind hole or a part of said outside surface corresponding to a location of said dedicated hole; making a portion of fuse material on the portion of wettable material; making the dedicated hole by etching the cap layer; and reflowing the portion of fuse material with a controlled atmosphere, forming a bump of fuse material which hermetically plugs said dedicated hole.
