Capping Wafer made by LIDE

Glass Cavities with
Steep Sidewalls

Glass Capping Wafer

Enabling higher densities in Wafer Level Packaging by glass cavities with steep side walls.

Today, glass capping wafers are preliminary manufactured by masked etching. Due to the isotropic etching characteristic of glass the mask openings are underetched at the same speed as the cavity grows in depth. Consequently, cavities made by masked isotropic etching feature a fillet with a radius which equals the depth of the cavity. This limits the minimum device pitch in Wafer Level Packaging and the yield per wafer.

In contrast to masked istropic glass etching LIDE technology is capable to create anisotrop micro-features in glass and cavities with steep sidewalls become possible.
