Abstract

Aluminum with Sn intermediate layer shows very large deformation even below 400°C. Using this new layer structure as sealing metal, high yield hermetic package of MEMS was demonstrated at only 370°C without any treatment of surface oxide removal. During bonding, the bonding metal is significantly pressed (the reduction rate of thickness ∼90%), which guarantees hermeticity at high yield. Based on SEM, EDX and TEM analysis, the role of tin for hermetic sealing and the mechanism of softening of this layer structure were discussed.
