Vacuum packaging of microresonators by rapid thermal processing Chiao, Mu; Lin, Liwei

Abstract

Vacuum packaging of micro resonators using TRP aluminum-to- nitride bonding has been demonstrated. Polysilicon micro resonators are fabricated with integrated sealing rings using surface micromachining technology. The top most layer on the sealing ring is silicon nitride. Aluminum sealing rings are patterned on the Pyrex glass cap wafers. The bonding and sealing of device wafer to cap wafer is done by heating the wafers in the RTP chamber at 750 degrees C for 10 seconds in vacuum. The quality factor of a vacuum- packaged micro resonator is measured as 400 +/- 50. Copyright 2002 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
