An example of a cavity structure comprises a cavity substrate comprising a substrate surface, a cavity extending into the cavity substrate, the cavity having a cavity bottom and cavity walls, and a cap disposed on a side of the cavity opposite the cavity bottom. The cavity substrate, the cap, and the one or more cavity walls form a cavity enclosing a volume. A component can be disposed in the cavity and can extend above the substrate surface. The component can be a piezoelectric or a MEMS device. The cap can have a tophat configuration. The cavity structure can be micro-transfer printed from a source wafer to a destination substrate.

Capped microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices are described. In at least some situations, the MEMS device includes one or more masses which move. The cap may include a stopper which damps motion of the one or more movable masses. In at least some situations, the stopper damps motion of one of the masses but not another mass.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure are related to an integrated chip including a first substrate underlying a second substrate. The first and second substrates at least partially define a cavity. An absorptive layer is disposed within the cavity and comprises a reactive mater. An absorption-enhancement layer is disposed along the absorptive layer and within the cavity. The absorption-enhancement layer is configured to pass the reactive material from a top surface to a bottom surface of the absorption-enhancement layer.

A bonded structure is disclosed. The bonded structure includes a first element that has a front side and a back side that is opposite the front side. The first element has a first conductive pad and a first nonconductive field region at the front side of the first element. The bonded structure also includes a second element that has a second conductive pad and a second nonconductive field region at a front side of the second element. The second conductive pad is bonded to the first conductive pad along an interface structure. The bonded structure also includes an integrated device that is coupled to or formed with the first element or the second element. The bonded structure further includes an elongate conductive structure that extends from the back side of the first element to the interface structure. The elongate conductive structure provides an effectively closed profile around the integrated device.

In described examples, a first metal layer is configured along a periphery of a cavity to be formed between a first substrate and a second substrate. A second metal layer is adjacent the first metal layer. The second metal layer includes a cantilever. The cantilever is configured to deform by bonding the first substrate to the second substrate. The deformed cantilevered is configured to impede contaminants against contacting an element within the cavity.

The present disclosure relates to a MEMS package having different trench depths, and a method of fabricating the MEMS package. In some embodiments, a cap substrate is bonded to a device substrate. The cap substrate comprises a first trench, a second trench, and an edge trench recessed from at a front-side surface of the cap substrate. A stopper is disposed within the first trench and raised from a bottom surface of the first trench. The stopper has a top surface lower than the front-side surface of the cap substrate.

A MEMS package has a MEMS chip, a package substrate which the MEMS chip is adhered, a chip-cover which wraps the MEMS chip, and a cover-supporting part which supports the chip-cover from the inside. In the MEMS package, the chip-cover is supported by the cover-supporting part to form a back chamber, surrounded by the chip-cover and the package substrate.

A MEMS package has a MEMS chip, a package substrate, a dammed-seal part. The MEMS chip has an element substrate which a movable element is formed, the element substrate has an element hole-part which the movable element is arranged. The dammed-seal part has an annular dam-member which is formed on the element substrate so as to surround the element hole-part and a gel member. The gel member is formed by hardening of gel which is applied on the annular dam-member.

A micromechanical device having a substrate wafer, a functional layer situated above it which has a mobile micromechanical structure, and a cap situated on top thereof, having a first cavity, which is formed at least by the substrate wafer and the cap and which includes the micromechanical structure. The micromechanical device has a fixed part and a mobile part, which are movably connected to each other with at least one spring element, and the first cavity is situated in the mobile part.
